If you’ve ever dealt with a damaged or decayed tooth, you know the discomfort and the frustration of waiting for your smile to be restored. Fortunately, same-day crowns offer a solution that combines convenience with high-quality results. At Sopris Smiles, we use advanced CEREC technology to craft dental crowns in just one visit, allowing you to leave our office with a fully restored tooth. Whether you’re dealing with a cracked tooth, a decayed tooth, or a cosmetic concern, same-day crowns are designed to provide you with an efficient, long-lasting, and natural-looking solution.
At Sopris Smiles, we are proud to offer CEREC crowns—the cutting-edge solution that eliminates the need for a temporary crown and multiple appointments. CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, and it utilizes computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology to craft a ceramic dental crown in our office. The process starts with us taking digital impressions of your tooth, which allows for precision in creating your new crown. These impressions are used to mill the restoration in-house, ensuring it fits perfectly and matches the shade of your natural teeth.
One of the most significant benefits of same-day crowns is the elimination of the need for multiple visits. Traditional methods of crafting crowns typically require a temporary crown and at least two appointments—one for impressions and one for placement of the permanent crown. With CEREC technology, you only need to come in for one visit, making it the ideal solution for busy individuals who don’t have the time to wait.
Traditional crowns are typically created by a dental lab after taking impressions of your tooth. This process can take anywhere from one to two weeks, during which time you may be required to wear a temporary crown to protect your tooth. The traditional crowns are often made of porcelain, metal, or a combination of both, and while they are durable, the process is slower and requires follow-up visits.
In contrast, CEREC crowns are made from high-quality ceramic materials that are as strong and durable as traditional dental crowns. The major advantage of same-day crowns is the convenience factor—your crown is ready to be placed on the same day as your appointment, with no need for a temporary crown or follow-up visits. The CEREC crown is also designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, ensuring a beautiful and natural-looking result.
While traditional dental crowns have been used for years with great success, CEREC crowns represent the future of restorative dentistry. They combine the durability of conventional crowns with the speed and efficiency of modern technology, giving you a complete restoration in a fraction of the time.
Time-saving: With same-day crowns, you can have your tooth restored in just one dental visit. There’s no need for multiple appointments or waiting for lab work. Same-day crowns eliminate the need for temporary crowns, so you can get back to your normal routine without delay.
Precision and Comfort: The CEREC machine uses digital impressions, which eliminates the discomfort of traditional molds. These digital impressions provide a highly accurate fit for your crown, resulting in a comfortable restoration. The precision of CEREC crowns ensures that the crown fits perfectly with the surrounding teeth, enhancing both function and aesthetics.
Durability: Same-day crowns are made from strong ceramic materials, ensuring that they are durable and long-lasting. With proper care, you can expect your CEREC crown to last just as long as traditional crowns—often decades. As long as you maintain good oral hygiene habits and avoid hard foods, your CEREC crown will remain strong and functional for many years.
Natural-Looking: One of the key benefits of same-day crowns is that they are crafted from materials that mimic the appearance of natural teeth. The porcelain-like material used in CEREC crowns matches the translucency and color of your teeth, ensuring that your restoration looks completely natural.
Immediate Results: Unlike traditional crowns, which require multiple appointments and waiting for lab work, same-day crowns are created and placed in one appointment. The convenience of getting a new crown and leaving with it on the same day cannot be overstated. This makes it a perfect option for patients who are looking for fast, effective solutions without the hassle.
If you’ve suffered from a cracked or decayed tooth and are seeking an efficient, high-quality solution, same-day crowns at Sopris Smiles might be the perfect choice for you. We understand that dental emergencies or time constraints can make waiting for a traditional crown challenging, which is why we’ve invested in CEREC technology to offer you the ability to restore your smile with ease and speed.

Same-day crowns, made using CEREC technology, are created and placed in a single visit, eliminating the need for multiple appointments. Conventional dental crowns, on the other hand, require at least two appointments and a waiting period of about two weeks for the lab-made crowns to be created. The conventional process also involves wearing a temporary crown. With CEREC, there’s no need for a temporary crown, and your restoration is completed in just a few hours.
The CEREC process uses advanced computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology to create highly accurate dental crowns in a single visit. After taking digital impressions of your tooth, the data is fed into a milling machine, which fabricates the crown onsite. The entire procedure eliminates the waiting time associated with lab-made crowns, ensuring a seamless, natural-looking result that fits perfectly with your other teeth.
A same-day crown can be completed in about two hours, thanks to the precision of the CEREC system. Traditional crowns, however, typically take about two weeks as they need to be crafted in a dental laboratory. During that time, patients often wear a temporary crown. With CEREC, there’s no waiting, and you can leave the office with a fully restored smile immediately.
Yes, CEREC crowns are just as durable as conventional dental crowns, which are often made from porcelain or metal. The high-quality ceramic material used for CEREC crowns ensures longevity and strength, capable of withstanding everyday use. As long as you maintain good oral hygiene practices, including brushing with fluoride toothpaste and avoiding hard foods, your CEREC crown should last for many years, similar to lab-made crowns.
Same-day crowns, made with advanced CEREC technology, offer an aesthetic advantage because they are designed to match the natural color and translucency of your teeth. Unlike conventional crowns that may require follow-up adjustments, CEREC crowns are milled in-office for a precise fit and seamless integration with your existing teeth. This results in a more natural, aesthetically pleasing appearance and immediate satisfaction.
