What Are CEREC Same-Day Crowns?

CEREC same-day crowns are custom-made dental restorations designed to protect and restore the functionality of teeth that are decayed, cracked, or damaged. Unlike traditional crowns, which require multiple visits and a temporary crown, CEREC crowns are created and placed during a single appointment.

Using advanced CAD/CAM technology, we take precise digital scans of your tooth, design your custom crown, and mill it right in our office. The result is a durable, natural-looking restoration that fits seamlessly with your smile.

Benefits of CEREC Same-Day Crowns

CEREC same-day crowns offer a range of advantages over traditional crowns, including:

• Time-Saving Convenience: Get a fully restored tooth in just one visit—no need for a temporary crown or multiple appointments.
• Precise Fit: Advanced digital imaging ensures your crown is custom-designed to fit your tooth perfectly.
• Natural Appearance: Made from high-quality ceramic materials, CEREC crowns mimic the color, texture, and translucency of natural teeth.
• Durability: CEREC crowns are designed to be long-lasting, providing the strength and functionality of a natural tooth.
• Comfortable Process: Digital scans eliminate the need for messy, uncomfortable traditional molds.

When Do You Need a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a versatile restoration that can address various dental issues. You may need a crown if you have:

• A tooth with extensive decay or a large cavity
• A cracked, chipped, or fractured tooth
• A tooth that has undergone root canal therapy
• Severe tooth wear or erosion
• A dental implant that needs to be capped
• A discolored or misshapen tooth

If you're unsure whether a crown is the right solution for your dental concern, our experienced team will assess your needs and recommend the best treatment option during your consultation.

The CEREC Same-Day Crown Process

Restoring your tooth with a CEREC crown is fast, precise, and comfortable. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Digital Scans

We begin by preparing your tooth and using advanced 3D imaging technology to take digital scans. This eliminates the need for traditional messy molds and ensures accuracy.

2. Custom Design

Using CAD software, we design your crown to fit your tooth perfectly and match your natural smile. You’ll even be able to see a digital preview of your restoration.

3. In-House Milling

The design is sent to our on-site milling machine, which crafts your custom crown from a solid block of high-quality ceramic in about 15–20 minutes.

4. Placement and Bonding

Once your crown is ready, we carefully place it over your prepared tooth and check the fit, making any necessary adjustments. Finally, we securely bond the crown to your tooth and polish it for a natural finish.

Caring for Your CEREC Crown

To ensure the longevity of your same-day crown, follow these simple tips:

• Brush and floss daily to maintain good oral hygiene.
• Avoid biting down on hard objects like ice or pens.
• Visit us regularly for professional cleanings and checkups to monitor your restoration and overall dental health.

With proper care, your CEREC crown can last for many years while providing a natural and functional smile.
