Same-Day Crowns With CEREC
Traditionally, getting dental crowns meant waiting days, or even weeks, for them to be fabricated in a dental lab. However, at Herman Family Dentistry, we provide same-day dental crowns thanks to the innovative CEREC system.
CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic. One of the most significant advantages is the efficiency it brings to the dental implant procedure, streamlining and enhancing the entire process.
How CEREC Technology Works
During the initial stages of your dental implant procedure, we utilize the CEREC Omnicam to capture highly detailed 3D images of your entire oral cavity. These digital impressions aid Dr. Herman in identifying any potential challenges that might affect your implant placement. As a result, we can tailor your treatment plan and conduct implant surgeries with unparalleled accuracy.
The CEREC system uses these 3D scans to fabricate lifelike porcelain restorations in just one hour. There’s no need to send your impressions to a dental laboratory and wait weeks to enjoy your new smile. With CEREC, you’ll be ready to smile with confidence from the moment you leave our office.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do same-day crowns take?
Unlike traditional crowns that take at least two appointments lasting about 90 minutes each, CEREC same-day crowns only take one appointment lasting two to three hours. You’ll have some free time while the CEREC machine mills your new crown, so you may want to bring something entertaining like a book, music, and headphones to pass that time.
Can a CEREC crown be repaired?
Typically, when your crown breaks, you’ll need a new one. Luckily, a replacement crown can quickly be created using CEREC technology. You won’t have to wait with a broken and possibly uncomfortable restoration sitting in your mouth.
How long do CEREC crowns last?
If properly taken care of, CEREC crowns typically last between 10 and 15 years. To get the most out of these convenient restorations, patients with same-day crowns should be cautious and avoid the following biting down hard, grinding their teeth, or frequently clenching their jaw.
What is the average cost of a CEREC crown?
The cost of a CEREC same-day crown varies from patient to patient, depending on insurance plans and the details of the procedure. For an accurate estimate, it’s highly recommended that you contact your insurance provider for any questions regarding your specific coverage. You may also want to ask your dentist if they provide flexible financing options.
