same-day cerec crowns in south surrey: how one visit replaces three
restorativedentistry
A closer look at how CEREC same-day crowns compress a two-week process into a single appointment in South Surrey.
A traditional crown takes two visits, a temporary, and a two-week wait on a lab. CEREC same-day crowns collapse that into one appointment. Here's how the technology actually works at Morgan Heights.
Digital impression, no goopy tray
A small intraoral scanner captures your tooth in a few minutes. No impression putty, no gag reflex, no retakes.
Design on-screen
Your dentist designs the crown in CAD software while you wait, matching the shape and bite to the surrounding teeth.
Milled in the office
A ceramic block is milled chairside in about 15 minutes. We polish, glaze, and fire it to final strength.
Bonded the same day
The crown is seated and bonded in the same visit. No temporary, no second numbing appointment.
Where it fits — and where it doesn't
CEREC works beautifully for most single crowns and inlays. Complex cases or specific aesthetics may still call for a lab-made restoration. Our CEREC same-day crowns guide covers the trade-offs, and how to prepare for a same-day CEREC crown appointment walks you through the visit.
