Smile Restoration in a Single Visit

Our same-day dental crowns offer a quick and convenient solution to restore your smile. Using cutting-edge CEREC technology, we can design and create a custom crown right here in our office, often in just a single appointment. No more messy impressions or uncomfortable temporary crowns!

CEREC technology (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) revolutionizes traditional dental restorations by enabling same-day, in-office fabrication of ceramic restorations. Using advanced computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology, CEREC allows Dr. Anast to design, create, and place high-quality ceramic crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers.

The CEREC Advantage

• You don’t have to wait weeks for a permanent crown–you can enjoy the convenience of receiving your restoration in a single visit!
• CEREC technology allows us to create precisely fitted crowns that are tailored to your unique dental structure.
• Your crown is designed and placed on the same day, which means there’s no need for you to get a temporary crown placed.
• We create crowns from durable ceramic and match the color to your natural teeth to ensure they blend seamlessly into your smile.

Are CEREC Crowns Right For You?

Our same-day crowns are great for patients needing an urgent crown because of decay, a fracture, or cosmetic enhancement. Additionally, those with busy schedules who prefer to minimize the number of dental appointments may find same-day crowns particularly appealing. You should consider same-day dental crowns if you have a damaged or decayed tooth that needs restorative care but you want to avoid the traditional weeks-long process of getting a dental crown.

What To Expect

Same-day dental crown placement typically takes about two hours. Your appointment will start with a consultation and examination. Instead of using traditional dental impressions involving messy materials and waiting for molds to set, Dr. Anast will use a handheld wand to capture digital impressions of your prepared tooth. These images are used to design and mill your custom crown right here in our office while you wait.

Using specialized CAD (computer-aided design) software, Dr. Anast will create a virtual model of your dental crown, taking into account factors such as size, shape, and color to ensure a natural and seamless fit with your existing teeth. When the design is finalized, the specifications are sent to an in-office milling unit where your crown is fabricated from a single block of high-quality ceramic material. This process typically takes about 15-20 minutes.

While your crown is being made, Dr. Anast will prepare your tooth by removing any decay and shaping it. He’ll then make sure your crown is fitted to perfection and matches the color of the teeth that surround it before securely bonding it. Once in place, he will polish it to give you a comfortable bite and a beautiful, long-lasting restoration.
