Downtown Chicago Same-Day Crowns

Why spend two weeks on a crown when one visit gets it done?

The technology behind your new crown

A dental crown is a custom cap that restores a damaged, cracked, or heavily filled tooth, bringing back its strength, shape, and function. The old way meant two appointments spread weeks apart, with a temporary crown in between. Our Downtown Chicago same-day crowns change that entirely.

Using CEREC digital technology, our dentists design, mill, and place a permanent crown in a single visit. Say goodbye to temporary restorations and multiple appointments.

Premium Materials

We work primarily with e.max and zirconia, strong, natural-looking restorations built to last.

No Temporaries

You leave with your permanent crown, not a placeholder.

This is how you get your crown

Step 1
Digital Scan

We start with an iTero scan of your tooth, which is fast and far more precise than traditional impressions.

Step 2
Custom Design

Your crown is designed in CEREC software and matched to the shape and shade of your surrounding teeth.

Step 3
In-Office Milling

Your crown is milled right here in our office using our CEREC system.

Step 4
Placement

We place and adjust your crown for a perfect fit. You walk out with a complete, permanent restoration the same day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Downtown Chicago same-day crowns as strong as traditional crowns?
Yes. Our Downtown Chicago same-day crowns are made from high-quality e.max or zirconia, the same materials used in lab-fabricated crowns. The difference is that CEREC mills them right here in our office, cutting out the lab and the wait entirely.
Does getting a same-day crown hurt?
The preparation process is done under local anesthesia, so you shouldn’t feel discomfort during the procedure. Some patients experience minor sensitivity for a day or two after placement, which is completely normal.
How long do CEREC crowns last?
With proper care (regular cleanings, avoiding grinding, and good home hygiene), CEREC crowns can last 10–15 years or more. Our Downtown Chicago same-day crowns use the same durable materials as traditional lab crowns, so longevity is comparable.
Does insurance cover same-day crowns?

Strobel Dentistry is a fee-for-service practice and does not participate in insurance networks. If you have PPO coverage, we can submit claims so you can use any out-of-network benefits available through your plan.

Your smile can’t wait, neither should your crown
