A same day crown is a custom-made porcelain crown made in the dentist office - it is designed, milled, and fitted in one appointment.

Rather than taking traditional impressions and sending the case to an external laboratory, the cerec crown is made on site using digital technology.

This allows the tooth to be restored in a way that is:

• Efficient

• Precise

• Natural-looking

• Completed without a temporary crown in many cases

For the right situation, it can be a very convenient option.

Same Day Crowns made in the dentist office are often used when a tooth needs more protection than a filling can provide, but can still be restored with a well-fitting ceramic crown.

This may be appropriate for teeth that are:

• Broken or chipped

• Worn down

• Heavily filled

• Weakened after root canal treatment

• Structurally compromised and needing extra support

They are also called cerec crowns. We will assess whether a same day crown is the best option for your tooth and your bite.

The treatment is designed to be efficient, but still carefully planned. Once the tooth is prepared, digital scans are taken and used to design the new crown. The crown is then milled on site and fitted during the same visit.

This usually involves:

• Preparing the tooth

• Taking digital scans

• Designing the crown

• Milling it in practice

• Fitting and adjusting it for comfort and bite

The result is a streamlined process that avoids the need to come back for a second fitting appointment.

What Makes the Result Look Natural:
A Same Day Crown should not only protect the tooth, it should also blend in comfortably with the rest of the smile.

The shape, shade, and fit all matter in creating a result that feels seamless.

We pay close attention to:

• Colour matching

• Tooth shape and contour

• Bite fit and comfort

• The way the crown sits within the smile

• Long-term function and durability

The aim is a restoration that feels stable, looks refined, and works well in everyday life.

For many patients, the biggest advantage is convenience. Ceramic crowns made in the dentist office save you time.Completing the treatment in one visit means less disruption and no need to manage a temporary crown between appointments.

Patients often appreciate:

• One appointment instead of two

• No temporary crown in between

• A more efficient treatment experience

• Digital rather than traditional impressions

• Restoring the tooth sooner

It can be particularly helpful for busy patients who want a high-quality result with fewer visits.

Every smile is different, which is why every treatment begins with a personalised consultation.

We'll take the time to understand your priorities and goals, assess your oral health and recommend the treatment that's right for you.

During your consultation, we'll discuss:

• Your personalised treatment options

• Your expected treatment timeline

• Cerec Dental crown material options

• Upfront treatment costs

• Available payment options and finance where applicable

Our goal is to make the process clear, transparent and stress-free, so you feel informed and confident before moving forward with your treatment.
