Same-Day Crowns for Your Smile

A crown is a natural-looking cap that covers a damaged tooth anywhere in your mouth. We know your time is important to you, so we offer same-day crowns so you can get in, get out, and get back to smiling through your day.

CEREC same-day crowns are milled on-site during your appointment in just 10 to 15 minutes. We create your ceramic crown based on a digital 3D image, so there’s no messy, unpleasant-tasting impression materials required. We think you’ll appreciate the single-appointment ease of our CEREC crowns.

Advantages of Same-Day CEREC Crowns

There are many reasons to appreciate a same-day CEREC crown. For example:

Your crown is milled and placed in just one day instead of 2 or 3 appointments over several weeks with traditional crowns.
Your single appointment is usually about 2 hours long.
Your crown is made from durable, natural-looking composite, zirconia, glass or, most often, ceramic, with no unnatural metallic edge.
You don’t need to wear a temporary crown between appointments because you’ll only need a single appointment.

What to Know About Getting a CEREC Crown

A crown is a restorative dental option for a damaged or weakened tooth, a large dental filling, or following a root canal. However, if you are missing one or more teeth, a bridge may be an ideal option.

Your approximately 2-hour appointment will generally look like this:

After applying a local anesthetic, Dr. Blair will file down your tooth to allow the crown to fit.
Dr. Blair will create a digital image of the tooth in question so that a crown matching the colour of your surrounding teeth can be milled on-site.
Dr. Blair will place your crown and check that the fit and your bite are comfortable and accurate.
When the fit is confirmed, Dr. Blair will bond your crown in place.

Caring For Your Crown

With good oral hygiene habits, your crown can last for about a decade.

You can brush and floss your crown just like your natural teeth. Be sure to avoid chewing on hard food items or other materials, like pens or pencils, to help preserve your teeth for a lifetime.
