Cracked, chipped, or severely worn teeth can make eating and smiling uncomfortable, but waiting weeks for a permanent solution isn’t ideal either. We all have busy schedules, and squeezing in multiple dental appointments for a single crown can feel impossible. Traditional crowns often require at least two visits, a temporary restoration, and weeks of waiting. But what if you could get a high-quality, permanent crown in just one visit? CEREC technology makes this possible, offering a faster, more convenient way to restore your smile, getting you back to enjoying your life in no time.

CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics and is an innovative technology that allows dentists to design, create, and place a custom dental crown in a single appointment. This process involves several steps, including:
This entire process is completed in just a few hours, compared to traditional methods that require multiple weeks of waiting. It also eliminates the need for a temporary crown and unnecessary follow-up appointments.
Choosing CEREC same-day crowns over traditional crowns comes with several benefits. Here are seven reasons why many patients and cosmetic dentists prefer this modern solution for restoring function to a damaged tooth:
One of the biggest advantages of CEREC dental crowns is the time it saves you. Because they can be placed in a single appointment, same-day crowns are an ideal option for anyone with a busy schedule.
Traditional dental crowns require a temporary restoration while waiting for the permanent crown to be created in an outside dental lab. Temporary crowns can be uncomfortable, prone to falling out, and may not match your natural tooth color. With CEREC same-day dental crowns, there’s no need for a temporary crown since the permanent one is placed on the same day.
Because CEREC uses advanced dental imaging and software, the crowns are custom-designed with exceptional precision. This ensures a better fit, reduced chances of discomfort, and issues with bite misalignment. Digital imaging is also considered much more comfortable than traditional impression methods.
CEREC crowns are made from high-quality ceramic that closely resembles the color and translucency of natural teeth. This makes them an excellent choice because they blend seamlessly with the rest of your teeth.
Same-day dental crowns are made from a strong ceramic material designed to withstand everyday wear and tear. With proper care, they can potentially last as long as traditional crowns. Studies have shown that CEREC restorations have a survival rate of around 95% after five years and 86% after ten years, demonstrating their durability and longevity.
Since CEREC technology allows for precise digital imaging and milling, less tooth structure needs to be removed. This means a more conservative approach, preserving more of your natural tooth.
Although the upfront cost of CEREC same-day dental crowns may be similar to or slightly higher than traditional crowns, the savings in time, convenience, and the elimination of multiple dental appointments can make it a cost-effective choice in the long run. Additionally, fewer visits to the dentist can mean less time off work or other commitments.
