What Is CEREC?
Benefits of Same-Day Crowns
- One-Visit Convenience: In many cases, your tooth can be prepared, digitally scanned, restored, and completed during the same appointment.
- No Temporary Crown: Because your permanent restoration can be created in our office, you typically do not need to wear a temporary crown while waiting for a dental laboratory to complete your restoration.
- Digital Impressions: CEREC technology uses digital scanning to capture detailed information about your tooth, reducing or eliminating the need for traditional impression materials.
- Natural-Looking Results: Same-day crowns are made from tooth-colored ceramic materials and customized to blend naturally with the surrounding teeth.
- Customized Fit: Digital technology allows your dentist to carefully design the size, shape, and fit of the restoration before it is created.
- Durable Tooth Protection: A properly designed dental crown helps protect a weakened tooth while restoring comfortable biting and chewing function.
The Same-Day Crown Process
Your treatment begins with a thorough evaluation to determine whether a dental crown is the right solution for your tooth.
- Preparing Your Tooth: The damaged or weakened areas of the tooth are addressed, and the tooth is carefully shaped to accommodate the crown.
- Digital Scanning: Instead of relying solely on traditional impressions, we use digital technology to create a detailed model of your tooth and surrounding bite.
- Designing Your Crown: Your restoration is digitally designed to achieve an appropriate fit, shape, and appearance.
- Creating Your Restoration: The crown is created from a high-quality ceramic material using our in-office CEREC system.
- Placing Your Crown: Once the crown is ready, your dentist checks its fit, bite, and appearance before securely bonding it to your tooth.

The exact appointment time varies depending on the tooth and the treatment required. Unlike traditional crown treatment, however, the entire process can often be completed in one visit rather than requiring appointments several weeks apart.

Not necessarily. The type and location of the tooth, the amount of remaining tooth structure, your bite, and other factors can influence which restoration is best. Your dentist will recommend the most appropriate option after examining your tooth.
The tooth is typically numbed during preparation to keep you comfortable. Some mild sensitivity or soreness may occur afterward, but it is generally temporary.
