CEREC® Same-Day Crowns
Where Modern Dentistry Meets Comfortable Care
Same-Day Crowns with CEREC Technology
CEREC same-day crowns allow you to restore a damaged or weakened tooth quickly and efficiently. Using advanced digital scanning and in-office milling, a custom ceramic crown is created to match your natural teeth while providing long-lasting protection and support.
When a Dental Crown Is Needed
A crown is used to strengthen and protect a tooth when it cannot be restored with a filling alone. It covers the entire tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and function.
- Cracked or Worn Teeth Reinforces weakened structure and helps prevent further damage.
- Large or Failing Fillings Replaces compromised areas with full coverage for better durability.
- After Root Canal Treatment Adds strength and protection to prevent future fractures.

Unlike traditional crowns that require multiple appointments, CEREC allows the entire process to be completed in a single visit for greater convenience and efficiency.
- Detailed exam and tooth preparation
- Digital scan with no messy impressions
- In-office design and milling of the crown
- Precise placement and bonding for a natural fit
