At Revival Dental, Dr. Rachel Neumeyer and her team are committed to providing exceptional dental care to keep your smile healthy and beautiful. One of our most effective treatments is the same-day dental crown. But what exactly is a dental crown, and how can it benefit you?
Dental crowns are high-strength, durable porcelain or zirconia restorations that restore your teeth’s appearance and function. These custom-made caps fit over a tooth and restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are the go-to solution for damaged, decayed, or weakened teeth.
They protect the tooth and enhance your smile by blending seamlessly with your natural teeth. Whether you need a crown for restorative or cosmetic reasons, our team is here to help you achieve the best results.
When is a Dental Crown the Best Treatment?
Several indications for crowns include severely broken teeth, extensive decay, decay under existing fillings, or teeth that have undergone root canal treatment. Crowns provide the necessary strength and protection to preserve the tooth and prevent further damage. Here are some situations where a crown might be the best option:
- Severe Tooth Decay: When decay has damaged a tooth too much to support a filling, a crown can provide the necessary protection and strength.
- Cracked or Broken Teeth: Crowns can hold together parts of a cracked tooth and prevent further damage.
- After Root Canal Treatment: A crown is often placed on a tooth to protect it and restore its function.
- Worn-Down Teeth: Crowns can restore teeth worn down by grinding or other factors.
- Large Fillings: If a tooth has a large filling and little natural tooth structure remains, a crown can help hold the tooth together and prevent it from breaking.
- Dental Implants: Crowns cover dental implants, providing a natural-looking, functional replacement for missing teeth.
- Support for Dental Bridges: Crowns can anchor a dental bridge, a restoration that fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth.
- Enhancing Aesthetic Appearance: For severely discolored or misshapen teeth, crowns can provide a more aesthetically pleasing appearance, improving your overall smile.
We have eliminated much of the hassle of getting a crown. Dr. Neumeyer offers same-day crowns using the latest CEREC technology. This means you can walk out with a new crown in just one visit.
CEREC Same-day Crowns
We have eliminated much of the hassle of getting a crown. Dr. Neumeyer uses modern technology, a CEREC Primescan, to offer same-day crowns to her patients. This CAD/CAM technology improves comfort and efficiency for our patients.
The CEREC Primescan enables us to capture high-precision digital impressions at our Metairie, LA, dental office. This means no goopy, putty impressions of the past.
Dr. Neumeyer uses this machine to take a digital impression of the tooth she is working on. This machine then communicates with an in-office milling unit to make the crowns. While you wait for your crown, you can enjoy our amenities, including cozy blankets and neck pillows. Catch up on your latest Netflix show or Disney+ for the kiddos! That also means no temporary crown, no getting numb again, and no return visit to our office. We know your time is valuable, so we prioritize efficiency.
The crown is precisely designed for your specific tooth, allowing for a better fit. Dr. Neumeyer makes them directly using the same durable, high-strength materials, rather than sending them to a third-party laboratory. These materials are made of high-quality porcelain or zirconia that look exactly like your natural teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crowns
How long do dental crowns last?
With proper care, most crowns last between 10 and 15 years, sometimes longer. How long yours lasts depends on the material used, your oral hygiene habits, and whether you grind or clench your teeth. During your regular checkups, we will examine your crown to make sure it still fits well and holds up as it should.
Will my crown look natural?
Yes. Dr. Neumeyer designs each crown to match the color, shape, and even the translucency of your surrounding teeth. Because we make them right in our office, she has complete control over the final look. Once placed, you shouldn’t be able to tell which tooth has the crown.
What materials are used for crowns?
We primarily use high-strength porcelain and zirconia for our same-day crowns. Both materials are durable, stain-resistant, and designed to blend in with natural teeth. Porcelain tends to offer a slightly more lifelike appearance, while zirconia is known for its exceptional strength. Dr. Neumeyer will recommend the material that best fits your situation.
How should I care for my crown?
Treat your crown like a natural tooth. Brush twice a day, floss once a day, and keep up with your regular dental cleanings. Flossing around the gum line is especially important to prevent decay at the edge where the crown meets your tooth. Avoid chewing ice or hard objects, and if you grind your teeth at night, let us know. A night guard can help protect your crown.
Does insurance cover dental crowns in Metairie?
Yes. Most dental insurance plans cover a significant portion of the cost of a dental crown because it’s considered a medically necessary restorative procedure.
At Revival Dental, we will check your benefits before your appointment so you know exactly what your plan covers and what your out-of-pocket cost will be. No surprises.
No insurance? No problem. We offer flexible payment options and financing to help you get the care you need without breaking your budget. Ask us about our payment plans during your consultation.
