Single Visit Dental Crowns with CEREC Technology

CEREC® brings digital precision and same-day ceramic restorations together to restore form, function, and confidence with fewer visits and a patient-first workflow.

Experience a Finished Restoration in a Single Visit

CEREC® is built around a simple idea: get you back to normal chewing and smiling as quickly and comfortably as possible. Instead of separating preparation, laboratory fabrication, and placement into multiple appointments, CEREC combines design and production right in the dental operatory so a customized ceramic restoration can be completed the same day.

This approach reduces the back-and-forth many patients expect with traditional crowns and onlays. Because the restoration is created on-site, adjustments and shade matching happen before you leave the chair, which improves fit and esthetics while minimizing the chance of repeat visits for small corrections.

Beyond convenience, a single-visit workflow can make treatment easier for patients who struggle with multiple appointments—people with busy schedules, limited mobility, or dental anxiety often appreciate completing care in one well-managed visit.

Skip Temporary Crowns and Messy Impressions

One of the most tangible benefits of CEREC® is how it replaces traditional impressions and temporaries with a precise digital scan. An ergonomically designed intraoral scanner captures a three-dimensional image of your mouth, eliminating the need for goopy impression material and the discomfort that can accompany it.

Because CEREC uses digital data from the start, the restoration is tailored to the exact contours and bite relationships of your teeth. This accuracy helps the final crown or onlay settle comfortably into place, reducing the likelihood of sore spots or adjustments after placement.

The digital workflow also supports more natural-looking results. Shade selection and surface texture can be refined chairside, allowing the dentist to evaluate and tweak the restoration so it blends seamlessly with surrounding teeth.

From Digital Scan to Precision Milling

CEREC’s strength lies in integrating CAD/CAM technology into a single, streamlined experience. After the intraoral scan captures the prepared tooth, specialized software translates those images into a three-dimensional design. The dentist fine-tunes shape, contacts, and occlusion in real time, ensuring a restoration that respects both comfort and function.

Once the design is finalized, the file is sent to a compact milling unit that carves the restoration from a solid block of high-quality ceramic. Milling happens in the operatory while you wait, and the ceramic can be stained or glazed as needed to match surrounding dentition and polish to a lifelike finish.

Because all steps are performed in-house and controlled by the dental team, the cycle from preparation to placement is shorter and more predictable—without compromising the laboratory-grade quality patients expect from modern restorative dentistry.

Ceramic Restorations That Blend and Last

CEREC restorations are milled from advanced dental ceramics chosen for their strength and lifelike translucency. These materials respond to light in a way that mimics natural enamel, making them an excellent option for visible teeth where esthetics matter. The ceramic surface resists staining and maintains polish, helping the restoration look natural over time.

Biocompatibility is another important advantage: ceramic materials are inert and well tolerated by surrounding tissues. That means less irritation and a reduced risk of adverse reactions compared with some metal restorations, especially for patients concerned about metal sensitivity or aesthetics.

With appropriate care—regular checkups, good oral hygiene, and prompt attention to any changes in bite or comfort—CEREC restorations can provide durable service and pleasing appearance for many years.

Care After a CEREC Restoration: What to Expect

After placement, your new restoration will be checked for fit and bite while you are still in the chair. Minor adjustments may be made to ensure your bite feels natural and comfortable. It’s common to experience brief sensitivity in the treated tooth as it settles; this typically resolves within days and can be managed with routine post-operative measures recommended by your dentist.

Long-term care focuses on the same habits that protect natural teeth: brushing twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, and keeping regular dental visits for monitoring and maintenance. Avoiding chewing on very hard objects and having periodic bite evaluations will help preserve the restoration’s integrity.

When new restorations are placed by a coordinated dental team, follow-up is straightforward. If you notice any persistent discomfort, a change in bite, or a chip in the restoration, contact the office so adjustments can be made promptly. Our team at Newpoint Family Dental will assess the restoration and recommend appropriate next steps to maintain comfort and function.

In summary: CEREC® uses advanced digital tools to design, mill, and place ceramic crowns, inlays, and onlays in a single visit—streamlining care while delivering precise, natural-looking restorations.
