One-Day Dental Crowns: Saving Patients Time and Headaches
February 18, 2025
When you need a dental crown, the last thing you want is a long, drawn-out process filled with multiple appointments, uncomfortable temporary crowns, and weeks of waiting. Thanks to cutting-edge dental technology, CEREC one-day crowns provide a faster, more efficient alternative.
At Akron Smile, we understand the importance of both quality and convenience, which is why we proudly offer same-day CEREC crowns to restore your smile in just one visit. Let’s explore how these advanced crowns save patients time, eliminate unnecessary discomfort, and provide lasting results.
What Are CEREC Crowns?
CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) crowns use computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology to create custom, tooth-colored crowns right in the dental office—eliminating the need for a dental lab and temporary crowns.
With CEREC, a precise 3D scan of your tooth is taken, and the custom crown is milled from high-quality ceramic in a matter of minutes. The result? A strong, natural-looking crown that fits perfectly—all in a single visit!
How Do CEREC Crowns Compare to Traditional Crowns?
| Feature | Traditional Crowns | CEREC One-Day Crowns |
| Number of Visits | 2+ appointments over weeks | 1 appointment, same-day placement |
| Temporary Crown? | Yes, required | No, permanent crown placed immediately |
| Material | Metal, porcelain-fused-to-metal, or ceramic | High-quality ceramic |
| Impressions | Messy putty impressions | Digital 3D scan (no goo!) |
| Customization | Made in an off-site lab | Designed and created in-office |
| Wait Time | 1-2 weeks | Less than 2 hours |
The key takeaway? CEREC crowns eliminate the hassle of traditional crowns, offering a quicker, more comfortable, and more convenient experience for patients.
Benefits of CEREC One-Day Crowns
✅ Saves Time with a Same-Day Procedure
A traditional crown requires two visits, with a temporary crown placed while you wait weeks for the permanent one. CEREC crowns cut that down to just one visit, so you can walk out with a fully restored tooth the same day.
✅ No Uncomfortable Temporary Crowns
Temporary crowns can be uncomfortable, fragile, and prone to falling off, leading to extra visits to fix them. With CEREC, you skip the temporary crown entirely and receive your permanent crown immediately.
✅ More Comfortable & Precise Fit
CEREC technology uses digital 3D imaging to create an exact replica of your tooth, ensuring a precise and comfortable fit without messy impressions.
✅ Natural-Looking, High-Quality Material
CEREC crowns are made from strong, tooth-colored ceramic, which blends seamlessly with your natural teeth—no metal, no dark lines, just a beautiful, natural smile.
✅ Long-Lasting & Durable
CEREC crowns are designed to be just as strong as traditional crowns, lasting 10-15 years or more with proper care.
How Does the CEREC Crown Process Work?
At Akron Smile, the entire CEREC crown procedure is completed in just one visit, typically in under two hours. Here’s what to expect:
1. Digital 3D Scanning
Instead of taking messy, uncomfortable impressions, we use a high-tech digital scanner to create a 3D model of your tooth. This ensures a precise and custom fit.
2. Custom Crown Design
Using CAD/CAM software, we design your crown right in our office, ensuring it matches the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth.
3. In-Office Milling
Your custom crown is then milled from a single block of ceramic using the CEREC milling unit. This high-quality material is both strong and aesthetic, mimicking the look of your natural tooth.
4. Crown Placement & Bonding
Once the crown is ready, we securely bond it to your tooth, ensuring a perfect fit. After a quick polish and bite check, you’re good to go—with a fully restored smile!
