CEREC Same-Day Crowns
Yes, CEREC crowns are crafted from a single piece of high-quality porcelain and are just as strong as all-porcelain crowns fabricated in a laboratory.
How CEREC Same-Day Crowns in Irvine Work
Same-day crowns mean you don't have to wait for your new restoration. You'll not need gooey impression materials or temporaries.
The steps:
- Your dentist prepares your tooth for crowning.
- We take digital impressions and forward them to our computer.
- The computer shares the specifications with our 3-D printer.
- After the printer produces your crown, your Irvine dentist makes final adjustments before cementing it over your tooth.
Do CEREC Crowns Look Natural?
CEREC crowns are fully customizable, so they always blend seamlessly with unrestored teeth. No one will guess you have capped teeth.
Reasons You May Need a Dental Crown
Whether it's a lab crown or a CEREC, here are the common reasons your dentist recommends crowning:
- You have a weak or at-risk tooth from injury, decay, or following a root canal infection.
- You have tooth flaws and imperfections you'd like to hide with a dental crown.
- You are getting a dental implant or bridge and need tooth crowns to complete your treatment.

Patients often ask if CEREC crowns (also called same-day crowns) can blend seamlessly with their natural smile. The answer is yes! At our Irvine, CA, dental office, we design each CEREC crown using advanced digital imaging and high-quality ceramic materials that closely mimic the color, translucency, and texture of your natural teeth. This allows your crown to match your surrounding teeth beautifully, creating a consistent, natural-looking smile.
CEREC crowns are custom-made to fit your tooth precisely, preserving your bite and maintaining proper alignment. Because the crown is milled right in our office, we can fine-tune the shape and shade while you wait, ensuring it looks and feels just right. This precision means fewer adjustments, a more comfortable fit, and a natural aesthetic that complements your smile.
Beyond aesthetics, CEREC crowns are durable and stain-resistant, providing a long-lasting solution that maintains their appearance over time. They are an excellent choice for patients who need restorative work but want to avoid multiple appointments or temporary crowns.
