CEREC® Same-Day Crowns

Dealing with a cracked, damaged, or heavily decayed tooth and dreading the idea of multiple appointments and weeks of waiting? Or maybe you’ve been putting off a crown because the thought of a temporary tooth for a month just doesn’t fit your life right now.
A same-day crown could be exactly what you’re after, and our team here at SmileSavers can walk you through whether it’s the right option for you.
CEREC® Same-Day Crowns
A damaged tooth doesn’t have to mean weeks of back-and-forth appointments. CEREC® technology allows us to design, mill, and place a ceramic crown in a single visit, using advanced digital scanning and computer-aided fabrication right here in the chair. No temporary crown, no second appointment, no waiting.
At SmileSavers, we offer both Classic and Premier CEREC® crown options, giving you the flexibility to choose the level of care that suits your situation. Every treatment is planned carefully based on your individual tooth condition and clinical needs, so you leave with a result that looks right, fits right, and holds up over time.
Are CEREC® Same-Day Crowns Right for You?
We’ll help you work out whether a same-day crown is the best pathway for your tooth. It’s often a great solution if:
- Your tooth has been damaged by decay, a crack, or a fracture and needs full coverage to restore its structure
- You have enough healthy tooth remaining to support a crown
- You’d prefer to complete your restoration in a single visit rather than across multiple appointments
- You’re looking for a ceramic restoration that blends naturally with your surrounding teeth
- You’re in good oral health and ready to move forward with treatment
We’ll assess your tooth condition, bite, and overall oral health to confirm whether CEREC® is the right fit, or point you toward an alternative if it better suits your needs.
The Process: Your Crown, Done in a Day
Most CEREC® crown treatments are completed in a single appointment of two to three hours. Here’s what that looks like:

Recovery and Long-Term Care
Most patients walk out and get straight back to their day. CEREC® crowns are designed to feel comfortable from the moment they’re placed.
What to expect:
- Mild Sensitivity. Some sensitivity to temperature in the first few days is normal and usually settles on its own.
- Gum Settling. Minor gum tenderness around the treated tooth can occur and typically resolves quickly.
- Bite Awareness. Your crown will be checked and adjusted before you leave, but occasionally a little further fine-tuning is needed at a follow-up visit.
Protecting Your Crown
Ceramic crowns are strong, but like natural teeth they benefit from care. We recommend avoiding very hard foods in the first few days, and for patients who grind at night, a custom night guard can help protect your restoration and extend its life significantly.
Common Questions About CEREC® Same-Day Crowns
Are CEREC® crowns as strong as traditional crowns?
CEREC® ceramic crowns are crafted from high-quality dental porcelain and are designed to handle the demands of everyday chewing and biting. Their durability depends on factors like your bite, oral habits, and how well you care for them. We’ll discuss the best material choice for your specific situation during your consultation.
Will my crown look natural?
CEREC® technology allows us to closely match the shape and shade of your surrounding teeth, so the result sits seamlessly in your smile. Exact colour matching can vary depending on your natural tooth characteristics, and we’ll talk you through what to expect before we begin.
Can all teeth be treated with a same-day crown?
CEREC® is suitable for most crown restorations, but some clinical situations, such as teeth with very limited remaining structure or complex bite considerations, may be better served by a traditionally fabricated crown. We’ll assess this thoroughly at your consultation and recommend the approach most likely to give you the best outcome.
