When Do You Need a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers and protects a damaged tooth — restoring its strength, shape, and appearance. Crowns are one of the most common restorative treatments in dentistry, and they're recommended when a tooth is too damaged for a filling but doesn't need to be extracted.
You may need a crown if you have:
- A cracked, chipped, or fractured tooth
- A large cavity that a standard filling can't support
- A tooth weakened by root canal therapy
- Severe wear from grinding or aging
- A misshapen or badly discolored tooth
The good news for Burleson patients: at Keene Family Dentistry, most crowns are completed the same day you walk in — no temporary crown, no second appointment.
Traditional Crowns vs. CEREC Same-Day Crowns
Traditional crowns require two visits, messy impressions, and weeks of waiting with a fragile temporary. CEREC eliminates all of that.

2–3 Weeks · 2 Visits- Messy physical impressions with putty trays

Learn More About Same-Day CrownsSame-Day Crown FAQs for Burleson Patients
Common questions we hear from patients visiting us from Burleson for crown work.
How long does a same-day crown appointment take? +
Most same-day crown appointments take about 1.5 to 2 hours from start to finish. That includes the digital scan, in-office design, milling, and final bonding. You walk out with your permanent crown — no second visit needed.
Are CEREC crowns as strong as traditional lab-made crowns? +
Yes. CEREC crowns are milled from solid blocks of high-quality dental ceramic and are designed to match the strength and durability of traditional lab-fabricated crowns. With proper care, they can last 10 to 15 years or longer.
Does insurance cover same-day crowns? +
Most dental insurance plans cover crowns because they're classified as a medically necessary restoration — not a cosmetic procedure. The coverage is typically the same whether the crown is made in-office or in a lab. We verify your benefits before treatment and explain your out-of-pocket cost upfront.
How far is Keene Family Dentistry from Burleson? +
About 10 minutes. Take US-67 South from Burleson to Old Betsy Road — our office is at 428 S. Old Betsy Rd., Suite C, Keene, TX 76059. With a same-day crown, the short drive means you only make the trip once.
Is getting a crown painful? +
The tooth is numbed with local anesthetic before any preparation begins, so you shouldn't feel pain during the procedure. Some patients experience mild sensitivity for a few days afterward, which typically resolves on its own. We also offer nitrous oxide sedation for patients who experience dental anxiety.
What's the difference between a crown and a veneer? +
A crown covers the entire tooth and is used when a tooth is structurally compromised — cracked, severely decayed, or weakened after a root canal. A veneer covers only the front surface and is primarily cosmetic. Crowns restore function and strength; veneers improve appearance.
