CEREC Same-Day Crowns

We’re excited to offer one of the most advanced technologies in modern dentistry—CEREC PrimeScan, now available at our clinic.

As one of the first practices in the UK to adopt this state-of-the-art system, we can design, create, and fit your custom crown in just one appointment.

This innovative digital scanner captures incredibly accurate, high-resolution 3D images of your teeth in full colour. These scans are then used to craft your bespoke restoration using our in-house milling unit—often within just two hours.

No messy impressions. No temporary crowns. No waiting weeks for a lab-made crown. Just fast, precise, same-day dentistry.

iTero Digital Scanning – A Modern Alternative to Traditional Impressions

Say goodbye to messy impression trays, unpleasant flavours, and sore jaws. With iTero digital scanning, your dental experience is quicker, cleaner, and far more comfortable.

Paired with our CEREC technology, this trusted system—used successfully since 1987—delivers precise, long-lasting results. You can expect your restored smile to look and feel just as natural years from now as it does on the day of treatment.

Short on time? CEREC is the ideal solution. It offers same-day results, no extra cost compared to traditional crowns, and saves you the hassle of a second visit and another round of anaesthetic.

How Does Same-Day CEREC Treatment Work?

3D Digital Scanning

We begin by capturing a highly accurate 3D image of your teeth—no messy putty required!

Custom Digital Design

Using advanced software, we design your custom crown, inlay, onlay, or veneer right on-screen. This virtual model is then sent wirelessly to our in-house CEREC milling machine.

Precision Milling

A ceramic block, matched to your tooth shade, is shaped with pinpoint accuracy. The milling process takes just 15 minutes in our on-site lab.

Instant Results

Your restoration is bonded in place the same day—beautifully natural and functionally strong, all in a single visit!

FAQs - Same Day Crowns

Is a CEREC crown better for front or back teeth?

CEREC crowns are ideal for back teeth because of their exceptional strength and longevity. For front teeth, where fine aesthetics and subtle colour matching are crucial, we may recommend collaborating with our skilled in-house lab technician to achieve the most natural appearance possible.

Not at all! CEREC technology isn’t limited to crowns. We can also create veneers, inlays, and onlays—all in a single visit, depending on your specific treatment needs.

One visit is usually all it takes! With CEREC, we can complete most restorations—including scanning, designing, milling, and fitting—in just a single appointment. No need for temporary crowns or a return visit.
