Same-Day CEREC Crowns: What Happens During Your One Visit
crownsandbridges
A closer look at how a same-day CEREC crown is designed and made in a single appointment, and what it means for your time and comfort.
Traditional crowns often need two visits and a temporary crown in between. A same-day CEREC crown is designed to change that.
How it works
- Digital scan: a small camera captures your tooth, so there's usually no need for messy impression material.
- Design: your crown is designed on screen, and you can see it take shape.
- Milling: an in-office machine shapes the crown from a ceramic block.
- Fitting: your dentist checks the fit and bite, then bonds the crown in place.
Why patients like it
- One appointment instead of two or three
- No temporary crown to look after
- Fewer return trips for work and family schedules
Is it right for everyone?
Not always. Some teeth or bite situations call for a different approach, and we'll tell you honestly which option suits you best.
