Discover more about CEREC same-day crowns with our guide below.
Same-Day Crowns With CEREC
Typically dental crowns require construction in a dental laboratory, which often takes a few days to a few weeks to complete. But at Herman Family Dentistry, we offer same-day dental crowns with the help of the CEREC system. CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic. Among their many advantages, same-day crowns play a major role in streamlining and improving the dental implant process.
How CEREC Technology Works
During the planning phase of your implant treatment, we’ll use the CEREC Omnicam to generate high-quality 3D images of your entire mouth. These digital impressions help Dr. Herman anticipate any obstacles that could interfere with your implant. As a result, we can customize your treatment plan and perform implant surgeries with unmatched precision.
Best of all, the CEREC system can take these 3D scans and use them to mill a natural-looking porcelain restoration 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. You’ll leave our Vincennes office at the end of your appointment with your new, permanent crown.
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:
- Biting down hard
- Grinding their teeth
- 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 details of the procedure. For an accurate estimate, we recommend contacting your insurance provider for any questions regarding your specific coverage. We provide flexible financing options to ease your financial worries.
