Do you know about CEREC crowns? Did you know you can have a dental crown made and placed on the same day? Same-Day Crowns, brought to you by CEREC, are state-of-the-art, beautiful, and made to last. Dr. Janis Milne at Inspiration Dental in Riverview, Florida offers CEREC Same-Day Crowns to get you smiling again.

When you think of dental crowns, do you think of crowns that you have to wait weeks for, that don’t always fit well, and don’t always blend with your smile? CEREC Same-Day Crowns are different.

They are created with technology known as CAD/CAM (Computer-assisted design/Computer-assisted manufacture) which uses precise measurements to create your crown. CAD/CAM combines computer-aided measurements and three-dimensional imaging to produce crowns which are precise and fit perfectly the first time, with no adjustments.

CEREC technology creates your crown out of beautiful, high-grade dental ceramic. The ceramic is light-reflective and closely mimics the look of natural tooth enamel. The qualities of the ceramic mean that your CEREC crown will look just like your teeth. The ceramic can be color-matched to your existing teeth, so it will blend perfectly with your smile. Your new CEREC crown will also resist staining.

There are many reasons why people love CEREC Same-Day Crowns. When you choose CEREC, you will enjoy these important benefits:

  • Convenience, because you will have a new dental crown created right in the office
  • Time savings, because you can have your new crown in just one visit
  • Comfort, because your crown will be made using digital impression, it will fit great

When you choose CEREC, you won’t need to wear a temporary crown while you wait for your crown to be finished. You leave the office with your beautiful new CEREC crown permanently cemented in place.

Your smile deserves the best. Your smile deserves the beauty and precision of CEREC Same-Day Crowns. To find out more about CEREC, call Dr. Janis Milne at (813) 638-0313 for Inspiration Dental in Riverview, Florida. Call today!

CEREC FAQs

How is a CEREC crown different from a traditional dental crown?

CEREC crowns are created and placed in a single visit using CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and manufacturing) technology. Traditional crowns require multiple appointments—one for tooth preparation and impressions and another to place the crown after it’s fabricated in a dental lab. CEREC uses digital impressions, eliminating messy molds, and fabricates the crown on-site using a ceramic block matched to your natural tooth color.

What are the benefits of CEREC same-day crowns?

CEREC crowns offer several significant advantages. They save valuable time by eliminating the need for temporary crowns and multiple follow-up visits, making the process more efficient for busy patients. The procedure is comfortable, using digital impressions instead of traditional impression trays, reducing discomfort and minimizing tooth sensitivity. These restorations are precisely milled from high-quality, durable ceramic materials, ensuring a strong, natural-looking fit that blends seamlessly with your existing teeth. Additionally, patients appreciate the convenience and peace of mind of walking out with a fully completed, custom crown in just one visit—often within two hours—helping to reduce overall dental anxiety and disruption to their daily schedules.

Is the quality of a CEREC crown as good as a lab-made crown?

Yes, CEREC crowns are made from durable, esthetic ceramic materials that rival or exceed the quality of lab-made options. The fit and function are highly accurate thanks to 3D digital imaging and milling technology. While lab crowns may offer slightly more customization in extremely complex cases, CEREC crowns are ideal for most restorations, offering long-lasting performance with proper care.

How long does it take to get a CEREC crown placed?

Most CEREC crown appointments last 90 minutes to two hours. During the visit, your dentist will prepare the tooth, take a digital scan, design the crown using software, and mill it in the office. Once the crown is fabricated, it is bonded to your tooth immediately, so there’s no waiting period or need to return for a second visit.

Are CEREC crowns natural-looking?

Absolutely. CEREC crowns are milled from tooth-colored ceramic and customized to match the shade and translucency of your natural teeth. Digital designing ensures a precise fit, and the crown can be polished or stained to enhance its natural appearance. Most patients struggle to distinguish a CEREC crown from their surrounding teeth.

Are CEREC crowns safe and biocompatible?

Yes, CEREC crowns are made from high-quality ceramic materials that are metal-free and biocompatible, making them safe for most patients—including those with metal allergies. The materials are gentle on surrounding teeth and tissues, and the bonding process ensures strong, long-term adhesion without toxic substances.

Is CEREC technology only used for crowns?

While CEREC is best known for same-day crowns, the technology is versatile and can also be used for inlays, onlays, and some types of veneers. These restorations are custom-designed for precise repairs of decayed, damaged, or cosmetically imperfect teeth—all within the same efficient, single-visit process that defines CEREC treatment.
