What Is Same Day Dental Crowns (CEREC)?
Same day dental crowns, also known as CEREC crowns, refer to a modern dental technology and procedure that allows for the creation and placement of dental crowns in a single dental appointment.
CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, and it’s a system that combines computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) to produce custom dental crowns quickly and efficiently.
Advantages of Same Day Dental Crowns (CEREC)
Same day dental crowns created using CEREC technology offer several advantages to both patients and dentists:
Convenience
One of the primary benefits of CEREC crowns is the convenience they offer. Patients can have their crown procedure completed in a single dental appointment, eliminating the need for multiple visits and reducing the time spent in the dental chair.
No Temporary Crowns
With traditional crowns, patients often need to wear temporary crowns while waiting for the permanent one to be fabricated. These temporary crowns can be uncomfortable and may require additional visits for adjustments. CEREC crowns eliminate the need for temporary crowns altogether.
Customisation
CEREC crowns are custom-designed using digital impressions and CAD technology. This means they can be precisely tailored to match the shape, size, and colour of your natural teeth, providing a more natural and aesthetically pleasing result.
Preservation of Healthy Tooth Structure
CEREC technology allows for more conservative tooth preparation, which means that more of the healthy tooth structure can be preserved compared to traditional crown procedures.

How the Process Works
In the realm of modern dentistry, CEREC technology has transformed the creation of dental crowns into a swift and efficient one-day procedure. Let’s delve into the remarkable steps involved in this cutting-edge approach.
Examination and Preparation
It all begins with a thorough examination of the tooth in need of restoration. Just like the preparation for traditional dental crowns, the dentist starts by meticulously examining the damaged tooth and ensuring it is appropriately prepared by removing any decay or damaged portions.
Digital Impressions
Here’s where CEREC starts to differentiate itself from traditional crown procedures.
Instead of employing messy molds and putty, a digital impression of the prepared tooth is taken using a specialised intraoral scanner. This state-of-the-art scanner is painless and quick, creating a precise 3D digital model of the tooth, which serves as the foundation for the crown’s design.
CAD Design
With the digital impression in hand, the dentist harnesses computer software to craft the crown’s design. This is where the magic happens – the dentist can customise the crown’s shape, size, and even colour, ensuring it harmonises seamlessly with the patient’s natural teeth. This level of customisation is a significant advantage, as it results in crowns that not only fit perfectly but also look natural and aesthetically pleasing.
CAM Manufacturing
Once the digital design is complete and the specifications are fine-tuned to perfection, the CEREC system communicates with an on-site milling machine. This sophisticated machine takes center stage as it carves the dental crown from a block of high-quality ceramic material. Remarkably, this manufacturing process typically takes a mere 15-20 minutes, transforming a digital design into a tangible dental crown.
Placement
After this efficient manufacturing phase, the crown is now ready for placement. The dentist meticulously checks the fit and colour to ensure it matches the patient’s natural teeth seamlessly. Any necessary adjustments are made with precision.
Once everything is in order, the crown is permanently bonded to the prepared tooth using dental cement. The result is a durable, aesthetically pleasing crown that can last for years.
How Long Does Same Day Dental Crown (CEREC) Last?
The lifespan of a same day dental crown produced through CEREC technology can vary but often falls in the range of 10 to 15 years or more with proper care.
These crowns are known for their durability and longevity. However, their endurance is significantly influenced by factors such as diligent oral hygiene practices, a balanced diet that avoids excessively hard or sticky foods, addressing teeth grinding or bruxism if present, the quality of materials used, and the expertise of the dentist performing the procedure.
Regular dental check-ups and maintenance appointments are crucial to monitor the crown’s condition and ensure it remains in good shape over the years, potentially extending its lifespan well beyond the initial decade.
