The holiday season can make it difficult to fit in dental visits, especially when dealing with an emergency like a chipped or cracked front tooth. Waiting for weeks to restore your smile isn’t ideal, but with CEREC same-day crowns, you don’t have to. This innovative technology allows our dental professionals to design, create, and place a custom crown in just one visit, helping you get back to smiling confidently without delay.

Whether you're dealing with a broken crown or a newly cracked tooth, CEREC crowns offer a fast, effective solution. They eliminate the need for temporary restorations or multiple visits. This advanced technology helps you restore your smile quickly and conveniently.

What Is CEREC?

What is a CEREC crown? It’s a high-quality, all-ceramic restoration created using computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology. CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. This advanced treatment allows our dental team to design, mill, and place your dental crown in just one appointment, eliminating the need for temporary crowns or follow-up visits.

If you chip a tooth in the morning, we offer emergency consultations and can have your custom crown designed, created, and placed all in one visit, often before dinnertime. Unlike traditional crowns that require off-site labs and multiple appointments, our in-house technology makes the entire process quick and convenient.

Our CEREC Treatment Process

If you’ve recently cracked a tooth or had a crown come loose, you're likely a perfect candidate for CEREC same-day dental crowns. Here’s how our process works:

1. Personalized Consultation

We begin with a comprehensive consultation and assessment. Our team ensures your tooth is a good candidate for a CEREC same-day crown and explains what to expect during the visit.

2. Tooth Preparation

We carefully prepare your tooth, removing any decay and reshaping it to accommodate the crown. This ensures a secure, snug fit without bulkiness or discomfort.

3. Digital Impressions

Forget messy trays! We take precise digital impressions using advanced scanning technology. This allows for detailed imaging that is immediately uploaded to our design software.

4. Crown Design

Using the latest software, we create a digital model of your CEREC crown that replicates the natural anatomy of your tooth. This model ensures both functionality and aesthetics.

5. On-Site Milling

We feed the digital model into our in-house CEREC milling machine, which sculpts your crown from a single block of durable, tooth-colored porcelain in about 15–30 minutes.

6. Finishing Touches

Once milled, the crown is polished and shade-matched to your surrounding teeth. The result is a seamless, natural appearance.

7. Placement

The final step is bonding the crown to your tooth using a strong dental adhesive. After ensuring the fit and bite are perfect, your CEREC same-day restoration is complete!
