CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns Ripon
Fast & Easy Restorations
While no one wants to hear that they need a crown, we have some good news for you. With today’s advanced CEREC technology, it is possible for us to design, mill, and place a completely customized crown in just one visit.
Compare this with the experience you might have with a traditional crown. Restoring a tooth with a traditional crown typically takes two visits — sometimes three if you have any problems with your temporary crown. Finding the time for these appointments requires adjustments to your schedule, and then there is the inconvenience of wearing a temporary crown that could break or fall out at any time. At Silver Creek Dentistry in Ripon, you can have your entire procedure completed in one appointment with no need for a temporary restoration or a return visit.

What Are CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that gets placed over the entire portion of a tooth that is visible above the gumline. Its job is to strengthen and protect the underlying dentition while also restoring its function. Crowns can be used for decayed teeth, cracked teeth, root canal-treated teeth, and other dental health conditions.
Traditionally, dental crowns are made in a third-party laboratory. CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) makes it possible for us to make crowns right here in our dental office. Using CAD/CAM technology, we are able to design and fabricate high-quality permanent crowns within just a few hours.
The Process of Getting a CEREC Same-Day Dental Crown
On the day of your appointment, we will first need to prepare your tooth to receive your crown. This typically involves the removal of a portion of its enamel. Then, we will scan your tooth and make a detailed design for your crown. Next, we will send that information to our CEREC machine, which will start milling your restoration while you rest comfortably in our office. When your crown is ready, we will make sure it fits properly and blends in with the rest of your smile before securing it in place. Once your crown is attached, you can leave our office with a stronger, healthier smile that you will be eager to share with others.
Benefits of CEREC Crowns vs. Traditional Crowns
CEREC crowns have a number of advantages when compared to traditional restorations:
- Since the CEREC process can usually be completed in a single appointment, you will not need to worry about making multiple trips to our office.
- No temporary crowns. Temporary crowns do not always fit well or look good. CEREC lets you skip this step of the traditional crown process.
- Digital impressions. No messy putty required! We simply use advanced scanning technology to capture a highly detailed, three-dimensional representation of your smile.
- Beautiful results. We carefully select the color for CEREC crowns so they blend in beautifully with the surrounding dentition.
- CEREC crowns are just as durable as ceramic crowns made in a dental lab.
