Same-Day Dental Crowns in Newmarket
Restore a damaged or weakened tooth with CEREC crowns in Newmarket at Tanzil Dental & Associates. Digital crown technology can make it possible to design, create, and place a custom ceramic crown during a single appointment when the tooth is suitable.
Restore Damaged Teeth With CEREC Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a custom restoration that covers a tooth to help restore its shape, strength, and function. Crowns may be recommended for teeth affected by significant decay, fractures, large existing fillings, or certain types of wear.
CEREC technology uses computer-aided design and manufacturing, also known as CAD/CAM, to create ceramic restorations. At Tanzil Dental, we assess the condition of your tooth and determine whether a same-day crown is appropriate or if another restorative approach would better meet your needs.

What to Expect During Your Same-Day Crown Appointment
Your dentist begins by examining the affected tooth and discussing the recommended restoration. When a crown is appropriate, the tooth is prepared and a digital scan may be taken to capture its shape and surrounding bite.
Using CEREC technology, the crown can be digitally designed and manufactured from a ceramic material. The restoration is then checked for fit, appearance, and bite before being secured to the tooth. Some cases may require additional appointments or a different fabrication method.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a CEREC dental crown be completed in one visit?
CEREC technology can allow a suitable dental crown to be designed, manufactured, and placed during one appointment. However, same-day treatment is not appropriate for every tooth or clinical situation. Your dentist will assess the amount of damage, the required restoration, and other factors before confirming whether a single-visit crown is possible.
What are CEREC dental crowns made of?
CEREC crowns are commonly made from dental ceramic materials selected for their appearance and functional properties. The specific material depends on the tooth being restored and the forces it experiences during biting and chewing. Your dentist can explain the available materials and recommend an option based on your clinical needs.
How long does a same-day dental crown appointment take?
A same-day crown appointment generally takes longer than a routine dental visit because it includes tooth preparation, digital design, crown fabrication, and placement. The exact time varies with the tooth and treatment complexity. Your dental team can provide an estimated appointment duration after examining the tooth and confirming the treatment plan.
How long do CEREC dental crowns last?
The lifespan of a CEREC crown depends on factors such as the ceramic material, tooth location, oral hygiene, bite forces, and grinding habits. Crowns can wear, chip, or loosen over time. Routine dental examinations and appropriate home care help your dentist monitor the restoration and identify problems that may require attention.
Are same-day crowns suitable for every damaged tooth?
Not every damaged tooth can be restored with a same-day crown. Some teeth may require additional treatment, different restorative materials, or a crown made through another process. The amount of remaining tooth structure, gum health, and bite conditions all influence the recommendation. An examination is needed to determine the most appropriate approach.
