Crowns, Bridges & Root Canals

In most cases, yes. With our in-office CEREC system we design, mill, and place a custom ceramic crown in a single appointment — no temporary crown, no second visit, no second numbing. It's ideal for busy Chandler families and for snowbird patients who only have a short window in town.

A same-day CEREC crown is milled from a solid ceramic block right in our Chandler office the same day, so you skip the temporary and the lab wait. A traditional lab crown takes two visits and a couple of weeks, and we still use it for certain complex cases where a lab-layered result is the better call. Dr. Annamareddy will tell you honestly which one fits your tooth.

A well-cared-for crown typically lasts 10–15 years or more, and bridges are similar. Longevity comes down to home care, grinding habits, and keeping up with checkups at our Chandler / Sun Lakes office. We'll show you how to protect the investment at the visit.

Both replace a missing tooth well; the right choice depends on the neighboring teeth, the jawbone, and your timeline. A bridge is faster and lower upfront cost but relies on the adjacent teeth; an implant preserves the bone and leaves the neighbors untouched. Our implant-vs-bridge guide on the blog walks through the trade-offs in detail.

Most PPO plans cover a meaningful share of crowns and bridges when they're medically necessary. Call or text 480-840-1101 with your plan and we'll verify benefits and give you a written estimate before any work begins — no surprises.
