CEREC Same Day Crown
Quick and convenient one-day crowns
Custom crowns in a single visit with CEREC
At Dentélle by WDC, we understand that finding time for multiple dental appointments can be challenging. That’s why we offer CEREC same-day crowns, an advanced technology that allows us to create and place custom dental crowns in a single visit. With CEREC, you can leave our clinic with a well-fitted crown without the need for a temporary crown or return appointment. Here’s an overview of how this technology works and what to expect from the process.

What is CEREC?
CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is an advanced dental technology that allows us to design, create, and place high-quality ceramic crowns in a single visit. Using 3D digital scanning and computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM), we can create precise and durable crowns designed to match the natural colour and contour of your teeth. With CEREC, there is no need for a temporary crown or a second appointment for fitting.

Your CEREC Same-Day Crown process step-by-step
Step 1: Initial Consultation
Your treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation at Dentélle by WDC. During this visit, our experienced dentists will evaluate your dental health, discuss your needs, and determine if a CEREC crown is a suitable option for you. We’ll take digital impressions and photographs of your teeth to create a precise treatment plan tailored to you.
Step 2: Digital Impressions
With CEREC, we use digital imaging to capture a detailed 3D model of your tooth. This advanced technology supports accuracy throughout the process.
Step 3: Custom Crown Design
Using the digital model, our dentists will design your custom crown in our clinic. The CAD/CAM software allows us to create a crown designed to fit your tooth and match the natural colour and shape of your surrounding teeth.
Step 4: Milling Your Crown
Once the design is finalised, the CEREC machine mills your crown from a high-quality ceramic block. This process takes about 15 to 20 minutes. You can watch your crown being crafted right in our clinic.
Step 5: Placing Your Crown
After milling, your new crown is polished and ready to be placed. Our dentist will make any necessary adjustments before permanently bonding the crown to your tooth. Results vary. Individual assessment required.
Risks and Recovery
CEREC crowns are designed and placed on the same day, but as with any restorative procedure, there are risks and recovery considerations.
Possible risks include:
- Temporary tooth sensitivity after crown placement
- Minor gum irritation around the treated tooth
- Risk of crown fracture or loosening under heavy biting forces
- In rare cases, further treatment such as root canal therapy may be needed if the tooth is compromised
Recovery considerations:
- Many patients return to normal activities immediately
- Sensitivity usually settles within a few days
- Avoiding very hard foods initially can help protect the new crown
- Regular dental reviews help ensure long-term success of the restoration
What CEREC same-day crowns can help with?
CEREC crowns may be suitable for a wide range of dental needs, including:
- Broken or chipped teeth: Restore the function and appearance of damaged teeth.
- Large fillings: Replace old or failing fillings with a strong, durable crown.
- Tooth decay: Protect and strengthen teeth affected by decay.
- Cosmetic concerns: Address the shape, size, or colour of a tooth.
- Post-root canal therapy: Restore and protect teeth that have undergone root canal treatment.
During your consultation, our dentists will assess your specific needs and determine if CEREC crowns are a suitable option for your dental restoration.
