Same-Day CEREC Crowns

A damaged, decayed, or root-canaled tooth often needs a crown to restore its strength and shape. With CEREC® same-day crown technology, MacArthur Dental Arts can design, mill, and place a custom ceramic crown in a single appointment, no temporary crown, no second visit, and no waiting weeks for a dental lab to fabricate your restoration.

‍

How It Works

‍

Using 3D digital imaging, our doctors capture a precise digital impression of your tooth, design your crown chairside, and mill it from a solid ceramic block right in our Irvine office. Your new crown is bonded in place the same day, matched to the color and shape of your natural teeth for a seamless result.

‍

Why Patients Choose Same-Day Crowns

‍

• One appointment instead of two
• No uncomfortable temporary crown to wear in between visits
• Precise digital fit designed specifically for your tooth
• Durable, natural-looking ceramic material
• Less overall time in the dental chair

‍

Same-day crowns are a great option whenever a tooth needs full coverage but you'd rather not schedule a second appointment weeks later.

‍

What to Expect During Your Visit

‍

After preparing your tooth, we capture a digital scan instead of a traditional impression, then design and mill your ceramic crown right in our office while you relax. Your crown is checked for fit and bite, then bonded in place, all in one appointment.
