What are CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are protective covers that are designed to guard and strengthen an underlying tooth that is moderately to severely decayed or damaged. They are typically made out of ceramic material that is meant to mimic natural tooth enamel as well as durable enough to withstand excessive pressures from chewing. Not only can it treat damaged or sensitive teeth, but it can also help improve the aesthetics of a patient’s tooth.
While traditional dental crowns usually take a couple of visits to complete the process, CEREC restorations can be finished within a single appointment. This means patients won’t have to wear a temporary crown or wait too long to improve the function of their pearly whites.
The Process of Getting a CEREC Same-Day Dental Crown
To begin the procedure, our team will numb your mouth with a local anesthetic so that you’re pain-free while we prepare your tooth. We’ll then take digital impressions of your smile so that we can get the most precise measurements. These 3D images will be used to construct your dental crown to match your unique specifications exactly. The milling unit will sculpt your dental crown in only around 20 minutes. Afterward, we’ll place your new crown and permanently bond it to your underlying tooth. You’ll be able to show off your brand-new tooth on the same day!

Understanding the Cost of CEREC Dental Crowns
Even if you understand that CEREC dental crowns are the most functional and convenient way to rebuild or resculpt your damaged or misshapen tooth, it’s still perfectly reasonable to ask how much the restoration will cost. While the team at Whitinsville Family Dentistry can’t provide you with a proper cost estimate until we have seen you at our office for your consultation, here’s a quick guide to how these incredible devices are usually priced as well as a few excellent ways to make them easier to fit in your budget.
Factors That Affect the Cost of CEREC Dental Crowns
Each CEREC dental crown will be completely customized based on the patient’s needs, so the cost of one appliance can vary significantly from that of another. A few factors that will determine most of the cost of your crown include:
- The severity of the damage: Dental crowns that replace more dental structure are larger and, therefore, more expensive.
- Preliminary treatments: You’ll need to be free from oral infections before receiving dental crowns. The cost of any necessary restorative work will be represented on your bill, but it may receive partial insurance coverage.
- Material: Dental crowns can be made from a variety of materials that come at a range of price points such as amalgam, gold, porcelain, and ceramics.
- Manufacture: CEREC dental crowns may be priced differently than traditional crowns, but they take much less time to place, which means you may not have to take additional time off work.
Does Dental Insurance Cover CEREC Dental Crowns?
Dental insurance policies usually cover restorative treatments such as dental crowns by 50% to 80%, but this depends entirely on the specific provisions of a patient’s plan. During your consultation, our skilled dental team will be sure to meticulously go over your policy so you can understand exactly what it will pay for before you commit to treatment.
