Same-Day Dental Crowns with CEREC Technology
Get your custom crown in a single visit with advanced CEREC technology—no temporaries, no second appointments.
Gone are the days of messy impressions, temporary crowns, and multiple appointments. At Prentice Dental, our advanced CEREC technology allows us to design, mill, and place your custom crown in a single visit—usually in under two hours.
What Are Same-Day Crowns?
Same-day crowns are permanent dental restorations created using Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology. Using our 3 Glidewell.IO milling units, we can craft a precision crown from a solid block of ceramic right here in our office—while you wait.
The Same-Day Crown Process
1. Digital Scanning
We use our iTero scanner to create a precise 3D image of your tooth—no messy impressions needed.
2. Custom Design
Dr. Prentice designs your crown digitally, ensuring perfect fit, function, and aesthetics.
3. In-Office Milling
Your crown is milled from a solid block of high-quality ceramic in about 15-20 minutes.
4. Final Placement
The crown is polished, stained to match your natural teeth, and permanently bonded in place.
