CEREC Same Day Crowns in Chesterfield, MI

CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, a cutting-edge system that uses digital imaging and computer-aided design to create dental crowns on-site during your appointment. Instead of waiting weeks for a traditional crown from an outside lab, your CEREC crown is crafted in-office and permanently placed that same day.

At Chesterfield Family Dental, the process begins with a digital scan of your tooth—no gooey impressions needed. We then use 3D CAD/CAM software to design your new crown in real time. That digital design is sent to our in-office milling machine, which precisely carves your crown from a block of high-quality ceramic. Once ready, we bond the crown securely to your tooth—all in one efficient visit.

While traditional crowns often require two or more visits, CEREC same-day crowns can be completed in a single appointment. You won’t need a temporary crown or a second injection of anesthetic. Plus, CEREC’s digital precision results in a better fit, less sensitivity, and a more comfortable overall experience.

CEREC crowns are made from durable, high-strength ceramic or porcelain materials. These are biocompatible, metal-free, and designed to closely match the color and appearance of your natural teeth. The result is a restoration that looks as good as it feels—strong, seamless, and long-lasting.

Choosing CEREC crowns offers many advantages:

• Immediate results – no return visit or temporary crown
• Durable, long-lasting material that stands up to daily wear
• Digital accuracy for a secure and comfortable fit
• Less invasive with fewer injections and less chair time

CEREC crowns are an ideal solution for many patients, including:

• Those with cracked, worn, or broken teeth
• Individuals who’ve recently had a root canal and need tooth protection
• Patients looking for efficient, same-day treatment
• Those who prefer a more comfortable and mess-free dental experience

Not every case is suited for same-day crowns, so we’ll evaluate your needs to ensure the best possible outcome.

Getting ready for your appointment is easy. Simply maintain your normal hygiene routine—brushing and flossing as usual. We recommend avoiding heavy meals beforehand and discussing any comfort needs or sedation preferences in advance. Expect to spend around 90 minutes to 2 hours at our office from start to finish.

In most cases, a CEREC crown appointment takes about 1.5 to 2 hours. That includes scanning, designing, milling, and bonding your new crown—all completed in one streamlined visit. You do not need to remain in the chair during the manufacturing process. Therefore, in some cases, the appointment may be divided into two shorter sessions on the same day.

There is little to no downtime after receiving your same-day dental crown. Most patients return to normal activities immediately. You may experience slight sensitivity for a few days, but it typically fades quickly. Best of all, there’s no need for a second appointment to finalize your restoration.

The cost of a crown can vary based on your dental needs and insurance coverage. However, many patients find the value well worth it: no temporary crown, no second visit, and long-lasting, high-quality results. Our team will walk you through your options and provide a detailed estimate before treatment begins.
