New Year, Fast Fix: Get Your Permanent CEREC Crown in Just One Visit

It’s the start of a new year. That means it’s time to reset, start fresh, and finally take care of the things you’ve been putting off. If dealing with a broken or damaged tooth has been on your to-do list for too long, there’s good news!

You can get a beautiful, permanent dental crown in just one visit to Northstar Dental in Lakewood. No multiple appointments. No temporary crowns. Just fast, high-quality care using cutting-edge CEREC technology, all in a comfortable, spa-inspired environment that prioritizes your peace of mind from the moment you walk through the door.

No Temporary Crowns, No Waiting, Just One Visit

Traditionally, getting a dental crown was a process that stretched across multiple visits. You’d walk in, have your tooth prepared, wear a temporary crown for weeks, then return to have the permanent crown placed. That meant more time off work, more discomfort, and more back-and-forth.

But with same-day CEREC crowns at Northstar Dental, that’s all changed. Thanks to advanced CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and manufacturing) technology, Dr. Eric and the team can design, mill, and place your permanent crown during a single appointment, giving you back your smile and your time.

What Is a CEREC Crown?

CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. It’s a state-of-the-art system that allows dentists to design and create porcelain crowns, inlays, and onlays with stunning precision, right in the office. 

Instead of sending impressions to a lab and waiting weeks for them to fabricate your crown, everything happens in-house, usually in under two hours. Here’s how the CEREC process works at our office:

• Digital Scan: Instead of gooey impressions, we use an iTero scanner to create a precise 3D model of your tooth.
• Design: Dr. Eric designs your custom crown on a digital model, ensuring it fits perfectly and restores your bite.
• Milling: The design is sent to our in-office CEREC milling machine, which crafts your crown from a durable ceramic block.
• Placement: Once it’s ready, we bond your crown in place, no temporary needed, and you walk out with a complete, confident smile.

Speed isn’t just convenient. It can be life-changing when you’re in pain or anxious about dental procedures. But fast results don’t mean sacrificing quality, either. Here’s why CEREC crowns have become the go-to solution for patients seeking efficient, high-quality restorations:

• Time Efficiency: Save time with a full treatment in just one visit, no second appointments, no downtime.
• Long-Lasting Durability: Same-day crowns are crafted from high-grade ceramic that mimics the strength and appearance of natural teeth.
• No Temporaries: Skip the discomfort and hassle of temporary crowns, which often don’t fit well and can crack or fall off.
• Comfort-Driven Technology: Digital impressions are faster and far more pleasant than traditional molds.
• Precision Fit: The crown is designed and adjusted on the spot, reducing the risk of future bite or sensitivity issues.

FAQs About CEREC Same-Day Crowns

Are CEREC crowns as strong as traditional ones?

Yes. CEREC crowns are made from high-quality ceramic and are comparable in strength and lifespan to lab-made crowns. With proper dental hygiene, they can last over a decade or more.

Is the procedure painful?

Not at all. The process is minimally invasive and designed to be as gentle as possible. Most patients are surprised at how quick and comfortable it is.

Can I eat normally after getting a CEREC crown?

Yes, because it’s a permanent crown, you can resume normal eating right away, just avoid anything super sticky or hard for the first 24 hours as your crown settles in.

What if I need more than one crown?

Depending on your needs and case, multiple CEREC crowns may be completed in one visit. Dr. Eric will walk you through a personalized plan to ensure the best and most efficient care.
