CEREC Same-Day Crowns Westchester, NY

Traditional crowns require two dental visits. The first involves preparing the tooth and placing a temporary crown while the permanent one is crafted at an outside lab. During the second visit, Dr. Mejia places the permanent crown.However, CEREC® technology allows the entire process to happen in a single appointment, providing a more efficient approach to restoring your smile.

Dr. Mejia can prepare your tooth, design a custom crown, and place it—all in one visit. This eliminates temporary crowns and saves you from multiple trips to the office. If you want a convenient, streamlined way to restore your smile, CEREC® same-day crowns are an excellent solution.

CAD/CAM technology makes CEREC® crowns possible, which stands for Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing. This state-of-the-art system allows Dr. Mejia to design and precisely create your crown.

Here’s how the process works step by step:

• A special camera captures your tooth.
• Dr. Mejia designs your custom crown.
• Our system sends the design directly to the milling unit.
• The milling unit crafts your crown from strong porcelain.
• Dr. Mejia then bonds the crown to restore strength and beauty.

One of the most significant advantages of CEREC® crowns is their lifelike cosmetic result. In fact, these restorations closely mimic the appearance of natural teeth. Unlike metal crowns or silver fillings, CEREC® restorations are crafted from tooth-colored porcelain that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. They’re ideal for both front and back teeth, providing lasting strength while noticeably improving your smile.

Beyond their natural appearance, CEREC® crowns offer several additional benefits:

• Durable porcelain resists daily wear.
• Smooth surface prevents plaque buildup.
• Digital design ensures perfect fit.
• No need for multiple visits.

In some cases, CEREC® crowns can also support full mouth rehabilitation. This treatment rebuilds multiple teeth in a way that promotes healthier jaw function. Over time, worn, uneven, or damaged teeth can disrupt the bite. As a result, added strain may develop in the jaw joints and contribute to TMJ symptoms. Rebuilding the teeth with CEREC® crowns helps create a more balanced bite, reduce muscle tension, and support long-term TMJ comfort.

Typically, an ideal candidate for a crown has a large cavity but still retains enough healthy tooth structure to support it. In some situations, a tooth may require extraction. In those cases, crowns can be paired with other treatments to create a permanent replacement that restores your smile and promotes a more stable, TMJ-friendly bite.

• Old or large fillings
• Chipped or cracked teeth
• Enamel damage or decay
• Misshapen or uneven teeth
• Crowded or misaligned teeth
• Sensitivity to hot or cold
