If you’ve ever had a dental crown, you probably remember multiple visits, temporary crowns, and a whole lot of waiting in between appointments. But what if that process could be faster, easier, and more comfortable? At Fairway Dental, we use state-of-the-art Glidewell IO technology to create same-day CEREC crowns.

These are custom restorations that are designed and placed in just one appointment at our office. patients, this means less time off work, fewer injections, and no uncomfortable temporaries. But beyond the convenience, CEREC crowns offer lasting strength and a natural feel that helps you smile with confidence again.

How Does a CEREC Crown Work?

CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) crowns are made using advanced CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology directly in our office. 

Unlike traditional crowns that require impressions and lab work, this modern approach streamlines the entire process without compromising quality. Here’s what you can expect during a same-day crown appointment at Fairway Dental Group with Dr. Johnson:

  • Digital Scanning: We use a small, handheld scanner to create a precise 3D image of your tooth. No gooey impressions required.
  • On-Site Designing: Dr. Johnson digitally designs your custom crown right in front of you, ensuring it fits comfortably and blends naturally with your surrounding teeth.
  • Milling in Minutes: The design is sent to our in-office milling machine, which crafts your crown from high-quality ceramic materials in about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Immediate Placement: After checking the fit and making final adjustments, your crown is bonded securely to your tooth. The entire process is finished in just one appointment.

Why Choose a CEREC Crown?

Same-day crowns aren’t just a time-saver. They’re a game-changer for patients who want quick results, reliable function, and a stress-free experience. Whether it’s a chipped molar or a tooth weakened by decay, a CEREC crown offers fast relief with long-term benefits. The key advantages of CEREC crowns include:

  • Speed: Finish your crown in one appointment. No need to return or wear a temporary.
  • Precision: Digital imaging ensures a better fit and fewer adjustments.
  • Comfort: No messy impressions or temporary crowns shifting around.
  • Aesthetic Quality: Ceramic crowns are color-matched to your natural teeth for beautiful results.
  • Durability: CEREC crowns are designed to withstand everyday chewing and last for many years with proper care.
