CEREC Same-Day Crowns
Digital scanning and in-house milling means a custom ceramic crown, fitted in a single visit.
How it works
Instead of a physical impression sent to an outside lab, we take a digital scan of your tooth. The crown is designed on-screen and milled from a solid ceramic block in the clinic while you wait.
That means no second visit, and no temporary crown in between.
Is it right for every tooth?
CEREC works well for most single-tooth crowns. For more complex cases — multiple teeth, or where a lab-made restoration suits better — we'll let you know during your consultation.
How long does the appointment take?
Usually around 2–3 hours from scan to final fit, all in one visit.
Is a same-day crown as strong as a lab-made one?
Yes — the ceramic material used is the same high-strength material used in traditional crowns.
