What Is a CEREC Same-Day Crown?

CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. It’s a high-tech system that allows us to design, fabricate, and place your dental crown right here in our Murphy office—while you wait.
  • Digital Imaging – We scan your tooth using a 3D intraoral camera—no messy impressions.

  • Onsite Design – Your crown is digitally designed for an accurate, custom fit.

  • In-Office Milling – A ceramic block is carved into your custom crown using our in-house CEREC machine.

  • Same-Day Placement – Your crown is bonded and polished—all in a single visit.

No second visit. No temporary crown. Just one appointment and done.

Why Choose a CEREC Crown?

  • Single Visit Convenience – Get a permanent crown in just one appointment.

  • No Temporaries – Skip the hassle, discomfort, and risk of temporary crowns falling out.

  • Highly Precise Fit – Digital scans ensure your crown is accurate and comfortable.

  • Durable Ceramic – Strong, tooth-colored material designed to last and look natural.

  • Natural Appearance – Crafted to match the color and shape of your other teeth.

CEREC crowns save time while delivering long-lasting results.

How CEREC Compares to Traditional Crowns

  • Fewer Appointments – Traditional crowns require at least two visits, while CEREC is completed in one.

  • No Temporary Crowns – Skip the temporary crown stage entirely with CEREC.

  • Digital Precision – CEREC uses 3D imaging for better fit and fewer adjustments.

  • Material Options – Both use durable ceramics, but CEREC crowns are milled from a single solid block for strength and esthetics.

  • Convenience – CEREC saves time, minimizes discomfort, and eliminates the need for a return trip.

While both options are effective, CEREC delivers speed, comfort, and precision—without compromising quality.

Who’s a Good Candidate for CEREC?

You may be eligible for a CEREC crown if you:

  • Have a cracked, worn, or broken tooth

  • Need a crown after a root canal

  • Have a large cavity that can’t be filled

  • Want a metal-free, natural-looking restoration

  • Prefer not to return for multiple visits
