Same-Day CEREC® Crowns for Fast Restorations

CEREC® Crowns offer a convenient way to restore damaged teeth in a single visit. When a tooth is cracked, weakened, or affected by decay, a dental crown can help protect it and restore normal function. Traditional crowns often require multiple appointments and a temporary crown while waiting for a dental lab. CEREC® technology allows many patients to receive a permanent crown in one appointment. At Sommers Family Dentistry in Norwalk, Ohio, CEREC® Crowns are part of our commitment to modern dental technology and patient-centered care. This approach supports strong restorations, efficient treatment, and a natural appearance, all while respecting busy schedules.

What Are CEREC® Crowns?

CEREC® stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. CEREC® crowns are dental crowns created using advanced digital imaging and CAM technology directly in the dentist’s office. Instead of physical impressions and multiple visits, the crown is designed, crafted, and placed during a single appointment. Each CEREC® dental crown is made from a solid block of ceramic material designed to closely resemble natural teeth. The result is a durable restoration that fits comfortably and blends with surrounding teeth.

When Are CEREC® Crowns Recommended?

CEREC® crowns may be recommended for patients with a damaged tooth, a cracked tooth, or significant tooth decay. They are often used when a tooth needs more support than a filling can provide. Common reasons for CEREC® crowns include:
  • A tooth that is cracked or in bad shape
  • A tooth weakened by decay
  • A tooth that has undergone root canal treatment
  • Replacing an old or failing crown
  • Restoring function and appearance after dental problems
CEREC® crowns are suitable for many patients seeking a fast and reliable dental restoration option.

How the CEREC® Crown Procedure Works

The CEREC® crown procedure is designed to be efficient while maintaining accuracy and comfort. The entire process typically takes place in one dental visit. First, the dentist prepares the damaged tooth by removing decay and shaping it to support the crown. Digital imaging is then used to create a detailed digital model of the prepared tooth. This digital impression replaces traditional physical impressions, improving comfort and accuracy. Using CEREC® technology, the crown is designed on a computer and milled from a ceramic block using an in-office CEREC® machine. Once the new crown is complete, necessary adjustments are made to ensure a proper fit and comfortable bite. The permanent crown is then bonded in place.

Benefits of CEREC® Crowns

CEREC® crowns offer several advantages for patients who want efficient and high-quality dental care. Benefits include:
  • Completion in a single visit
  • No temporary crown needed
  • Digital impressions for improved comfort
  • Precise fit and natural appearance
  • Durable ceramic materials
  • Reduced time away from work or daily activities
For many patients, CEREC® crowns are a good choice when convenience and quality are both important.

CEREC® Crowns vs Traditional Dental Crowns

Traditional dental crowns typically require two visits. During the first visit, impressions are taken and sent to a dental lab. A temporary crown is placed while the permanent crown is fabricated over a couple of weeks. A second visit is then needed to place the final crown. CEREC® crowns streamline this process. By completing the entire procedure in one appointment, patients avoid temporary crowns and multiple dental visits. This makes CEREC® crowns especially appealing for patients with busy schedules or those who prefer fewer appointments.

Appearance and Comfort

CEREC® crowns are designed to provide a natural look that complements surrounding teeth. The ceramic materials used offer color and translucency similar to natural enamel, making them suitable for visible areas of the smile. A precise digital impression helps ensure a good fit, which supports comfort, proper bite alignment, and long-term oral health. The crown is shaped to work harmoniously with opposing teeth and surrounding structures.

Caring for Your CEREC® Crown

Caring for a CEREC® crown is similar to caring for natural teeth. With proper care, CEREC® crowns can provide long-lasting function and aesthetics. Recommended care includes:
  • Brushing twice daily
  • Flossing regularly
  • Maintaining good oral hygiene habits
  • Attending regular dental visits
  • Avoiding chewing hard objects
Proper care helps protect both the crown and the underlying tooth structure.

CEREC® Crowns and Restorative Dentistry

CEREC® crowns are an important part of restorative dentistry. They allow dentists to restore damaged teeth efficiently while maintaining strength and appearance. CEREC® technology is also used in combination with other dental services, including crowns placed on dental implants and restorations following root canal treatment. By using advanced digital tools, our team can provide consistent results that support long-term dental health.
