At our practice, we offer CEREC Same-Day Crowns — a state-of-the-art solution for restoring and enhancing your teeth in just one visit. With CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) technology, we can provide beautiful, custom ceramic crowns in a single appointment, completely eliminating the need for multiple visits and long wait times.
Same-day crowns are custom-designed restorations used to repair damaged teeth, replace missing teeth, or improve the aesthetics of your smile. A crown, also known as a cap, completely covers a damaged or weakened tooth, strengthening it and dramatically enhancing its appearance, shape, and alignment. Same-Day Crowns may be used to… • Replace a large filling when there’s little tooth structure remaining • Protect a weak tooth from fracturing • Restore a fractured tooth • Attach a bridge • Cover a dental implant • Cover a discolored or poorly-shaped tooth • Cover a tooth that has had root canal treatment
CEREC crowns are highly effective for achieving optimal esthetic outcomes. They can be used to correct teeth that are discolored, misshapen, worn, or misaligned. With CEREC technology, you can get a restoration that fits perfectly with your natural smile, offering the best in both form and function.
The process of receiving a CEREC crown begins with careful planning and preparation. Using an intraoral camera, we take digital impressions of the tooth to be treated. These images are uploaded to our computer, where they are transformed into a 3D model using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) technology. The model is then used to design the perfect restoration that fits your tooth and mouth precisely. Once the design is ready, a milling machine creates your crown using high-speed diamond precision, all while you relax in the chair. The final restoration is then bonded to your tooth, and the result is a beautiful, durable crown that restores both the function and appearance of your tooth.
CEREC crowns not only provide stunning esthetics, but they also restore the natural function of your tooth. They are ideal for repairing teeth that are fractured, cracked, or suffer from large, failing fillings. Whether you're dealing with extensive tooth wear or damage, same-day crowns offer a reliable solution that ensures your tooth functions like new.
How long does the CEREC process take? The CEREC process typically takes about 2-3 hours, including tooth preparation, digital impressions, design, milling, and placement of the final restoration. Is CEREC suitable for all types of dental restorations? CEREC is ideal for crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers. Its application depends on your specific case, and your dentist will determine the most appropriate treatment for your needs. How durable are CEREC Same-Day Crowns? CEREC crowns are known for their durability and longevity. With proper care, including regular oral hygiene and dental check-ups, they can last for many years. Is CEREC technology safe? Yes, CEREC technology is considered safe. The materials used for CEREC crowns are biocompatible, and the digital impression process eliminates the need for traditional, often uncomfortable, impression materials. Does insurance cover CEREC Same-Day Crowns? Coverage for CEREC crowns varies depending on your insurance provider. It's best to check with your insurance company to understand the extent of coverage for CEREC restorations. Can anyone get CEREC Same-Day Crowns? CEREC is suitable for most patients, but in some cases, traditional crowns or other restorative options may be recommended. Your dentist will assess your individual needs to determine the best treatment option. Are there any post-placement care instructions for CEREC crowns? Post-placement care for CEREC crowns is similar to that for traditional crowns. Regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups are essential to ensure the longevity of your crown. Your dentist will provide specific care instructions based on your oral health. With CEREC Same-Day Crowns, we provide fast, efficient, and high-quality dental restorations that save you time without sacrificing results.

"Dr. Davis was AMAZING!! I don’t have a bad thing to say about him, the office, or the other staff. Everyone is so nice and welcoming. As someone who has had severe dental anxiety, they did an excellent job at keeping me comfortable and even let me watch Grey’s Anatomy on the tv while getting cavities filled (the fillings turned out beautiful). 100% would recommend them to anyone. I am SO PLEASED!"
