What Are CEREC Same-Day Crowns?

CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) crowns are a revolutionary dental restoration that eliminates the need for multiple appointments and temporary crowns. Using advanced CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and manufacturing) technology, we can create a custom-fitted crown from high-quality ceramic material right in our office—restoring your tooth in a single visit.

Benefits of CEREC Same-Day Crowns

Choosing CEREC crowns over traditional options provides several advantages, including:

  • Same-Day Convenience: No need for multiple appointments or temporary crowns.
  • Precision Fit: Digital impressions ensure a perfect fit and natural appearance.
  • Durability: High-quality ceramic material offers strength and longevity.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: Tooth-colored ceramic blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.
  • Minimally Invasive: Conservative tooth preparation helps preserve healthy enamel.
  • Comfortable Experience: Digital impressions replace messy traditional molds.

If you're dealing with a cracked, decayed, or weakened tooth, CEREC same-day crowns can restore your smile quickly and effectively.

What to Expect During Your CEREC Crown Appointment

When you visit our Redmond dental office for a CEREC same-day crown, the process is straightforward and efficient. Here's what to expect:

  1. Digital Impressions: Instead of traditional molds, we use a digital scanner to capture precise images of your teeth.
  2. Crown Design: Using CAD technology, we design a custom crown that matches the shape and color of your natural teeth.
  3. Milling Process: Our in-office milling unit fabricates your crown from a solid block of ceramic in under an hour.
  4. Crown Placement: Once ready, we bond the crown securely to your tooth, ensuring a comfortable and natural fit.
  5. Final Adjustments: We check your bite and make any necessary refinements for optimal comfort and function.

Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after their appointment, enjoying a fully restored tooth in just one visit.

Are CEREC Crowns Right for You?

CEREC same-day crowns are an ideal solution for patients needing to restore teeth affected by:

  • Severe decay or cavities
  • Cracked or fractured teeth
  • Large fillings that need replacement
  • Root canal-treated teeth requiring protection
  • Cosmetic concerns such as misshapen or discolored teeth

If you're unsure whether CEREC crowns are the right choice for you, our team will conduct a thorough evaluation and discuss your treatment options.

CEREC Crowns vs. Traditional Crowns

While both CEREC and traditional crowns provide excellent restoration, there are key differences to consider:

CEREC Same-Day Crowns:

  • Completed in a single visit, saving you time and reducing multiple trips to the dentist.
  • No temporary crown needed, as the permanent restoration is placed the same day.
  • Made from high-quality ceramic, offering durability and a natural appearance.
  • Digital impressions provide a precise fit without the discomfort of traditional molds.
  • Ideal for those looking for a quick, efficient, and aesthetic solution.

Traditional Crowns:

  • Typically require two or more visits, with a temporary crown placed during the waiting period.
  • Custom-crafted in a dental lab, taking 2-3 weeks for completion.
  • Available in various materials, including porcelain-fused-to-metal and all-ceramic options.
  • Manual impressions are used, which may require adjustments for a proper fit.
  • May be a better option for complex cases requiring specialized materials or techniques.

For those seeking a convenient, durable, and aesthetic solution, CEREC same-day crowns provide a modern and efficient alternative.

Caring for Your CEREC Crown

With proper care, CEREC crowns can last for many years. Follow these tips to maintain your restoration:

  • Brush and floss daily to keep your crown and surrounding teeth clean.
  • Avoid chewing on hard objects such as ice or pens.
  • Schedule regular checkups and dental cleanings to monitor your oral health.
  • Wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth to prevent damage.

Our team will provide personalized recommendations to help you care for your new crown effectively.
