What Are CEREC Crowns?
CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. In plain terms, it’s a system that lets us design, create, and place a permanent dental crown in just one visit.
CEREC crowns are stunning, all-ceramic restorations. They’re crafted to match the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth, so the results look seamless. Because they’re milled right here in our office, you skip the messy impressions and the wait for an outside lab.
The best part? We can produce and place your permanent crown in a single day. One appointment, one beautiful result.
Why You Might Need a CEREC Crown
A crown does more than improve appearance—it protects and strengthens your tooth. You may be a great candidate for a CEREC crown if you have:
- Damaged teeth from injury, decay, or a large old filling
- Worn teeth caused by grinding or years of normal use
- Misshapen teeth that throw off the balance of your smile
- Discolored teeth that won’t respond to whitening treatments
If any of these sound familiar, a CEREC crown can restore both function and confidence. You don’t have to live with a tooth that looks or feels off—and you don’t have to put your life on hold for multiple visits to fix it.
How the One-Visit Process Works
The CEREC process is straightforward and comfortable:
- Digital scan. We take a precise 3D image of your tooth—no goopy impression trays.
- Custom design. Using that scan, we design a crown that fits your tooth perfectly.
- In-office milling. Our technology shapes your all-ceramic crown right in the practice.
- Same-day placement. We bond the finished crown in place, and you leave with your smile restored.
The entire visit happens under one roof, with one trusted team guiding you every step of the way.
