A CEREC crown is a custom-made dental crown crafted and placed in just one appointment using advanced CAD/CAM technology. CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, and it revolutionizes how dentists restore damaged teeth.
Unlike traditional crowns that require messy impressions, temporary crowns, and multiple visits, a CEREC crown is designed, milled, and placed—all in one day—right at the dentist’s office.
CEREC crowns are commonly used to:
- Restore decayed or fractured teeth
- Improve the shape or color of teeth
- Replace missing teeth as part of a bridge
- Enhance the overall appearance of your smile
How the CEREC Same-Day Crown Process Works
The process begins with your dentist capturing precise digital impressions of your teeth using a specialized camera. These images are used to create a 3D model, which serves as the blueprint for your new crown.
From there:
- The crown is digitally designed to match your bite and natural tooth shape.
- It is milled from a strong ceramic block right in the office.
- The crown is then bonded to your tooth, restoring both function and appearance.
This streamlined approach ensures a comfortable experience with no need for temporary crowns or multiple visits.
Why Choose CEREC Crowns?
✅ Completed in a Single Visit
One of the biggest benefits of CEREC crowns is convenience. In just one appointment, you walk out with a permanent, custom-fit crown—no second visit needed.
✅ Digital Precision
CEREC uses high-resolution 3D scanning to create a digital model of your tooth, resulting in a crown with a precise fit and natural look. This reduces the risk of error and improves long-term success.
✅ No Temporary Crowns
Say goodbye to wearing a fragile, uncomfortable temporary crown. CEREC technology lets you skip that step entirely.
✅ Strong and Long-Lasting
Made from durable ceramic, CEREC crowns are built to last with proper care. They provide the same strength and longevity as traditional crowns.
✅ Natural Appearance
CEREC crowns are crafted from tooth-colored ceramic, blending seamlessly with your natural teeth for a lifelike finish.
