Struggling with a cracked or damaged tooth is a pain. Having to wait 2 weeks for a permanent crown only adds to the stress. Same-day crowns let you get back to smiling in a single visit.
What is a CEREC crown?
CEREC is a technology used in dentistry to create same-day dental restorations, such as crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers. The process involves advanced digital imaging, computer-aided design (CAD), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) to fabricate custom ceramic restorations right in the dental office, eliminating the need for multiple appointments and temporary restorations.
This technology allows for faster, more efficient dental care, with restorations completed in a single visit, reducing the need for temporary crowns or multiple appointments. CEREC crowns are also highly durable, accurate, and aesthetically pleasing, mimicking the natural appearance of teeth.

Same-day crowns are the best way to treat this damage and save your tooth!
How do CEREC crowns work?
- Digital Scanning: The dentist takes a digital impression of the patient’s tooth using a special intraoral scanner, which creates a 3D image of the tooth and surrounding structures.
- Design: The dentist uses CEREC software to design the crown on a computer, tailoring it to the patient’s tooth for a precise and natural fit.
- Milling: Once the design is approved, the data is sent to a CEREC milling machine that carves the crown from a solid block of ceramic material.
- Placement: After the crown is milled and polished, the dentist checks the fit and makes any final adjustments. The crown is then bonded directly onto the prepared tooth.
