CEREC One Visit Crowns
Same-Day Crowns in Cincinnati, OH
Beautiful restorations made while you wait
What is CEREC?
CEREC is an exciting technology that allows us to perform high-quality, same-day restorations in our office. After your tooth is prepared for a crown or onlay, we use a digital 3D scanner to capture an image of it. The scanner means there are no goopy impressions to take. We use the image in our CAD/CAM computer system to create a custom restoration to repair your tooth. The crown or onlay is made in a 3D mill and then fired in an oven for strength and aesthetics. We will bond the CEREC restoration to your tooth during your visit. No temporary. No return visit. Your permanent crown is done in one visit!
Do CEREC restorations look natural?
Yes! CEREC restorations are made from aesthetic porcelains and resins. They come in a wide range of colors, and we can even add custom staining for the best match possible.
How long does the appointment take?
A CEREC crown appointment typically takes 2-3 hours. During a large portion of the appointment, our team is working outside of your mouth to make the crown. We have movies and TV shows you can watch while you wait for your crown.
Is there an extra charge for a same-day crown?
No! We charge the same fee for crowns whether they are made in our office or at an outside lab.
If you are interested in a same-day crown, call our Winton Road office today.
Do you use CEREC for all crowns?
We use CEREC for most crowns. Some situations call for specific materials that are not available for same-day procedures. In these cases, we use the CEREC machine to capture an image of your tooth and send it digitally to a lab to make your crown.
This sounds pretty cool. Can I watch?
Absolutely, we can show you the entire process. You will see how the crown is designed, and you can watch how it is made in the mill. We love to show it off!
Are CEREC crowns as strong as lab-made crowns?
Yes. We use the same materials and fabrication process dental labs use to make porcelain crowns. In certain circumstances, we may recommend a material that cannot be made in our office. In these cases, we will have your crown made in a lab.
