What Are CEREC Same-Day Crowns
A faster, modern way to restore damaged teeth.
CEREC same-day crowns use advanced technology to design and create a custom crown in our Irvine office during a single visit. Instead of waiting several weeks for traditional crowns, we use CEREC technology, computer-aided design, and computer-aided manufacturing to craft strong ceramic restorations while you relax.
These same-day dental crowns restore a damaged tooth, broken tooth, or weak tooth without messy dental impressions. Our digital scanner captures precise images of your mouth. Then our milling machine shapes your new crown from a solid block of high-quality ceramic materials.
The result is a restoration that closely mimics natural teeth and blends with your natural smile.

Who Is a Good Candidate?
When a same-day crown may be right for you.
If you have a damaged tooth or a large cavity, you may need a crown to restore strength and function.
You may be a candidate if you have:
- A broken tooth
- A weak tooth after root canal therapy
- Severe decay
- A cracked or damaged tooth
- An old crown that needs replacement
- A tooth supporting a dental bridge
- A dental implant that needs a crown
When tooth decay or damage weakens natural teeth, a crown acts as a cap that covers and protects the tooth. It restores shape, strength, and appearance. At Spectrum Dental Group in Irvine, our dental team evaluates your teeth and explains your treatment options clearly. CEREC same-day crowns in Irvine, CA, work well for many cases, but we always recommend the best solution for your long-term dental health.
