A Guide to CEREC Same-Day Crowns
When you have a damaged, decayed, or missing tooth, you might groan, roll your eyes and think, great, multi-visits, two-to-three-week repair process, right? With CEREC same-day dental crowns in Seattle, WA, fixing that tooth has never been easier
What’s our secret? CEREC, which is …
CEREC Vs. Traditional Crowns
A CEREC crown, short for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic, is not that different from a regular crown; it’s also a cap that fits over the decayed or damaged tooth and restores its appearance, shape, and function.
The difference is that a traditional crown requires two dental visits spread over two to three weeks. During the first visit, a dentist preps the tooth and makes impressions, while the second is to place the permanent crown. As you wait for the permanent crown, the dentist places a temporary one.
With CEREC same-day crowns, however, you skip right to getting the permanent crown!
Wondering how that’s possible? Read on!
The CEREC Difference
Before you receive a same-day crown, our dentist will inspect the tooth or lack thereof and the severity of the damage.
Through this evaluation, they will determine if CEREC is a feasible option. Fortunately, most people who qualify for a crown are also eligible for CEREC.
You’re given a local anesthetic for same-day crowns in Seattle, WA. Then, our dentist will prepare the tooth by removing any decay. The next step is taking digital impressions of your teeth and gum tissue.
Our dentist then inputs the impressions into the machine to create the crown. Finally, they will place the crown and adjust the fit as necessary.
After your visit, you’ll have a crown that will last just as long as a traditional restoration, except it takes only a fraction of the time and much less hassle.

Like traditional crowns, our dentist can use this option to replace a missing tooth, too.
