Dealing with a broken or damaged tooth can be stressful. You don’t want to wait weeks for a crown. That’s why we offer CEREC same-day dental crowns at Suncreek Dental Group. With this advanced technology, we can repair your tooth in just one visit. No temporary crown. No waiting. Just fast, reliable care.
Get a Custom Crown in One Appointment
Traditional crowns usually take at least two visits. You’d come in for an impression, then wait a few weeks while a lab makes your crown. Then you’d return to have it placed.
With CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics), we do everything in a single appointment. You walk in with a problem tooth and leave with a strong, natural-looking crown that fits perfectly.
How CEREC Crowns Work
We use special 3D scanning technology to create a digital model of your tooth. This means no sticky molds in your mouth. The scan gets sent to our in-office milling machine. This machine carves your custom crown out of a block of ceramic or composite resin. We then fit, polish, and bond the crown—all during the same visit.
You can relax while we create your crown. Most patients are surprised how easy and comfortable the whole process is.
Why Choose a Same-Day Crown?
There are a few good reasons people love same-day crowns:
No Temporary Crowns
We skip the uncomfortable temporary crown that often breaks or falls out. You get the real one right away.
Save Time
Just one visit. You don’t have to take more time off work or school to come back for a second appointment.
Custom Fit and Natural Look
Each crown is made to match your natural tooth shape and color. It blends in and feels like your real tooth.
Strong and Long-Lasting
CEREC crowns are made from durable materials. With good care, they can last 10 to 15 years or even longer.
When Do You Need a Dental Crown?
We may recommend a crown if:
- A tooth is cracked or broken
- There’s a large cavity that can’t be filled
- You had a root canal
- An old crown needs to be replaced
- You’re getting a dental implant or bridge
Crowns protect your tooth and restore how it looks and works. If you’re in pain or notice a tooth is worn down, don’t wait. It’s easier to fix sooner than later.
Our Step-by-Step Crown Process
Here’s what to expect when you come in for a CEREC crown:
Step 1: Tooth Prep and Digital Scan
We clean and shape your tooth, then take a quick 3D scan. It’s painless and fast.
Step 2: Crown Design and Milling
The scan goes to our computer, where we design your new crown. Then the milling machine makes it right here in the office.
Step 3: Fitting and Bonding
We check the fit, color, and shape. Then we polish and bond it to your tooth. You’re all done in about two hours.
You leave with a strong, comfortable crown—no return visit needed.
CEREC Crowns vs. Traditional Crowns
CEREC crowns and traditional crowns both restore damaged teeth, but there are some key differences:
CEREC crowns are done in just one visit, while traditional crowns usually take two or more. With CEREC, there’s no need for a temporary crown, but traditional methods often require one while the permanent crown is being made in a lab.
CEREC uses ceramic or composite materials and is made using a digital scan, which means no messy impression molds. Traditional crowns can be made from different materials and require a physical mold, which some patients find uncomfortable.
When it comes to comfort, CEREC is often preferred because it’s faster and doesn’t involve putty. Traditional crowns may take more time and can require extra adjustments to get the fit right.
Many patients choose CEREC because it saves time and feels more comfortable. We’ll help you decide which option works best for you.
