Yes, CEREC same-day crowns eliminate the need for multiple dental visits by creating your custom restoration in a single appointment. Traditional crown procedures require two separate visits spaced weeks apart, along with temporary crowns and messy impressions. With CEREC technology, you receive digital scanning, custom design, and permanent crown placement all in one efficient visit.
At Dee for Dentist, Dr. Dee Dee Meevasin uses CEREC technology to provide same-day dental crowns for patients throughout Las Vegas. Our team combines advanced digital equipment with personalized care to restore damaged teeth quickly and comfortably. This modern approach helps you live longer and smile more without the hassle of multiple appointments and temporary solutions.
How CEREC Technology Works in One Appointment
The CEREC process begins with digital scanning instead of uncomfortable impression materials. A small camera captures detailed images of your tooth from multiple angles, creating a precise digital model. The dentist designs your crown on a computer screen, adjusting the shape and size to match your natural teeth perfectly. This digital design eliminates guesswork and allows you to see the planned restoration before it’s made.
Once the design is approved, a milling machine in the office carves your crown from a solid block of high-quality ceramic. The entire milling process takes about 15 minutes. During this time, you can relax in the treatment room or receive additional care if needed. Some patients use this downtime to address other dental needs, such as Solea laser dentistry or cleanings, making the appointment even more efficient.
After the crown is milled and polished, the dentist checks the fit and makes any necessary adjustments. The crown is then bonded permanently to your prepared tooth using strong dental adhesives. You leave the office with a fully functional, natural-looking restoration that’s ready for immediate use.
Benefits of Same-Day Crowns
CEREC crowns offer several advantages that improve your overall dental experience:
- Time savings: You complete the entire crown process in approximately two hours, rather than spreading it across two appointments several weeks apart. This saves time off work, reduces childcare coordination, and eliminates the inconvenience of multiple trips to the dental office.
- Comfort improvements: Digital impressions feel much more comfortable than traditional putty molds, which can trigger gagging. You avoid wearing a temporary crown that might fall off, crack, or cause sensitivity. The precise digital scanning often results in better-fitting crowns that require fewer adjustments after placement.
- Immediate results: You walk out with your permanent crown the same day, so there’s no waiting period, no dietary restrictions, and no appearance concerns. According to the American Dental Association, crowns can strengthen teeth with large cavities and protect weakened or broken teeth. Getting this protection immediately reduces the risk of further damage.
- Reduced complications: Temporary crowns can fall off or break, requiring emergency visits. Exposed prepared teeth can develop sensitivity or additional decay while waiting for the permanent crown. By completing everything in one visit, you eliminate these risks entirely.
Same-day crowns are made from durable ceramic materials that resist staining and maintain their color over time. The ceramic matches the strength and translucency of natural tooth enamel, giving you lasting, beautiful results.
