What to know
CEREC Same-Day Crowns, explained.
What it is, how it works and how it helps, in plain words.
CEREC is a system that lets your dentist design and mill a ceramic crown right in the office, so you can receive a permanent crown in one appointment instead of two. It's used to restore teeth that are cracked, heavily filled, or weakened by decay.
After preparing the tooth, your dentist takes a digital scan instead of a traditional impression. The crown is designed on screen, milled from a solid block of ceramic while you wait, then finished and bonded in place during the same visit.
You skip the temporary crown, which can loosen or feel awkward, along with a second appointment and a second round of numbing. The ceramic is strong and color-matched to your natural teeth, so the crown blends in.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
Common questions about cerec same-day crowns.
CEREC crowns are milled from high-strength ceramic and are designed for everyday chewing. For some situations, such as certain complex or multi-tooth cases, your dentist may still recommend a lab-made restoration.
Plan for a longer visit than a typical appointment, since the crown is designed, milled, and bonded during the same visit. The team will give you a time estimate when you schedule.
Many teeth are, but not all. Your dentist will consider where the tooth is, how much structure remains, and your bite when recommending the best type of crown.
