CEREC Same-Day Crowns
Your Permanent Crown, Designed and Placed the Same Day
What Are CEREC Same-Day Crowns?
A digital scan replaces messy impression materials. Our design software creates a precise 3D model and the milling machine crafts your crown in under 30 minutes.
Because the process happens in one visit, you avoid the inconvenience of temporary crowns. You leave the same day with a permanent, fully functional restoration.
The Benefits of CEREC Same-Day Crowns
Completed in One Visit: No second appointment needed. Your permanent crown is designed, milled, and placed the same day.
No Temporary Crowns: Skip the uncomfortable temporaries that can crack, fall off, or cause sensitivity between appointments.
Digital Precision: Computer-aided design ensures your crown fits perfectly, with no adjustments needed at a follow-up visit.
Natural-Looking Results: High-quality ceramic matches the color, shape, and translucency of your surrounding teeth.
Durable & Long-Lasting: CEREC ceramic crowns are strong, stain-resistant, and designed to last 15 years or more with proper care.
Biocompatible Material: Metal-free ceramic is gentle on gums and tissue, with no risk of metal allergies or dark gum lines.

CEREC Same-Day Crowns vs. Traditional Crowns
One Visit vs. Two: CEREC is completed in a single appointment. Traditional crowns require a prep visit and a placement visit weeks later.
No Temporary Crown: Traditional crowns require a temporary while the lab fabricates your permanent crown. With CEREC, you get your permanent crown the same day.
Digital vs. Physical Impressions: CEREC uses a comfortable digital scan. Traditional crowns require messy impression trays that many patients find uncomfortable.
In-Office vs. Dental Lab: Your CEREC crown is milled in our office in minutes. Traditional crowns are sent to an outside lab, adding time and potential for fit issues.
Same Quality, Faster Timeline: Both options use high-quality ceramic materials. CEREC simply delivers results the same day.
