CEREC Same Day Crowns: How We Transform Your Smile in Just One Visit
Your typical traditional dental crown requires 2-3 weeks to make and several visits to get it in. This means patients must take time off work, arrange childcare, and deal with temporary crowns, which can fall off or cause sensitivity.
Our dental office makes your experience better with chairside economical restoration of esthetic ceramics (CEREC) dental technology. Using our CEREC Primemill and CAD/CAM tools, the Lewis Family & Implant Dentistry team can design, make, and fit your permanent crown in one visit.
Most dental offices use the standard crown process. First, you have an appointment for tooth prep and impressions. Then, they place a temporary crown. After that, the molds go to an outside lab. You wait 2-3 weeks for the crown to be made. Finally, you return for the permanent crown placement.
During that process, patients deal with messy impression materials and poorly fitting temporaries. They also worry about eating normally while worrying if their temporary crown will come loose at the wrong time.
So get a beautiful, durable CEREC crown without hassle. No temporaries, no extra visits, and no waiting weeks. Just relax in our office while we take care of you.
CEREC Crown Technology
Many patients worry that faster means lower quality. But a same day-made crown can match the strength and look of traditional lab-made crowns.
We use CEREC technology and precise milling machines to create crowns from top-quality ceramic blocks, more durable than traditional lab crowns. Our digital scanning gets rid of messy impressions, and computer-aided designs guarantee a perfect fit and a natural look.
Often, we complete several restorations during one visit, saving you time in the dental chair and giving quicker results for smile makeovers.

Our Process for Creating a Same-Day Crown
Getting your crown in a single visit is surprisingly straightforward. Here’s what you can expect when you choose same-day crown technology at our practice:
- Digital Scanning: We use a small handheld scanner to create a precise 3D image of your tooth in just minutes. It’s comfortable, quick, and incredibly accurate.
- Custom Design: We’ll design your crown using advanced software. You can actually watch on the screen as we perfect the shape, size, and fit to match your natural teeth perfectly.
- In-House Milling: Our milling unit carves your crown from a solid block of high-quality ceramic. This typically takes about 20-25 minutes.
- Finishing Touches: After milling, we’ll polish and glaze your crown. This will match the shade and shine of your other teeth.
- Permanent Placement: After checking the fit and your bite, we’ll permanently cement your new crown in place. You’ll walk out with a fully restored tooth that’s ready for normal use immediately.
The entire process typically takes about two hours from start to finish. No temporary crowns, no second appointments, no waiting weeks for a lab. Just one visit and you’re done!
Quick, Easy Dental Restorations
Temporary crowns are known for causing issues, such as falling off while eating. They can also cause sensitivity to hot and cold. Food can get trapped, leading to bad breath. Plus, they usually don’t look or feel like your natural teeth. They are quick fixes, not permanent solutions.
Lewis Family & Implant Dentistry’s same-day crown service cuts out time and hidden costs linked to traditional crowns. CEREC technology helps you spend less time in the dental office and avoid emergency visits for failed temporary crowns.
