CEREC Same-Day Crown Technology
CEREC technology lets us design, fabricate, and place a custom ceramic crown in a single appointment — precision dentistry without the wait.
CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is a digital dentistry system that replaces traditional putty impressions and lab turnaround with an in-office digital scan, on-screen 3D design, and a chairside milling unit that carves your restoration from a solid ceramic block while you wait.
The result is the same durable, natural-looking crown you'd get from an outside lab — just without the two-appointment wait, the temporary crown, or the messy impression material.

Questions
Common questions
Yes — CEREC restorations are milled from the same high-strength ceramic materials used by outside labs, so durability is comparable. The difference is speed and convenience, not quality.
Most CEREC crown appointments take a few hours from digital scan to final placement, all in one visit — no return trip needed.
