CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns

When you have a broken or decayed tooth, you deserve a dental restoration option that repairs both the appearance and ability of your smile. Dental crowns are an effective way to do just that. At DeStefano Dentistry, we are proud to provide porcelain and CEREC same-day dental crowns in Pittsford, New York! 

This restorative treatment is used when your tooth has become too damaged by dental decay for a traditional dental filling and can be completed in only one visit. Call our dental office today to schedule an appointment with our dentist, Dr. Thomas J. DeStefano.

What Are Dental Crowns?

The Dental Crown Process

With traditional dental crowns, a dentist takes impressions and scans of the sour mouth and the damaged tooth. Then, they send these images to a lab. The lab makes your customized crown, and you come back to the office in a few weeks to have the crown permanently placed.

Because dental crowns both help restore your tooth and improve the look of your smile, they are considered both a restorative and cosmetic dentistry treatment. 

CEREC Same-Day Crowns

While regular dental crowns traditionally take two appointments to complete, here at DeStefano Dentistry, we can offer same-day solutions to your dental crown needs. 

CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) technology lets us create and place custom crowns in just one appointment.

How It Works:

We use CAD/CAM technology to capture a precise 3D image of your tooth.

The digital model is used to design your crown.

Your crown is crafted from a block of tooth-colored material in minutes.

The crown is fitted, bonded, and polished during the same visit.

With CEREC, you save time while restoring your smile’s function and beauty in just one day!

Which Type of Dental Crown Is Right For Me?

Traditional Crowns: Generally speaking, traditional crowns are more versatile and durable. There are more options to match exact tooth shades and translucency, and they may last longer than same-day crowns.

CEREC Same-Day Crowns: On the other hand, CEREC crowns are much more convenient. You’ll see results right away and won’t have to wait for a final restoration to come in from the lab. They are sometimes more expensive, but it depends.
