Beautiful ceramic crowns made in one visit.
CEREC technology allows Country Club Dentistry to design, create, and place many ceramic dental crowns in a single appointment. No temporary crown. No second visit for the final restoration. Just precise, natural-looking restorative dentistry designed around your tooth, bite, and smile.
What are CEREC dental crowns?
CEREC crowns are custom ceramic dental crowns created with chairside CAD/CAM technology. Instead of taking traditional impressions, placing a temporary crown, and waiting for a lab to fabricate the final restoration, Country Club Dentistry can digitally scan your tooth, design your crown, mill it in the office, and place it the same day for many cases.
A dental crown covers the visible portion of a tooth above the gumline. It can restore strength, shape, appearance, and function when a tooth is damaged, weakened, worn, cracked, heavily filled, or restored after root canal therapy.
A damaged tooth that needs strength, protection, or a better appearance.
- Cracked, broken, or weakened teeth
- Large, failing, or old fillings
- Teeth restored after root canal therapy
- Worn or damaged biting surfaces
- Cosmetic tooth shape or color concerns
- Dental implant restorations
Dental crowns protect teeth while rebuilding the way they look and function.
Crowns are one of the most versatile restorations in dentistry because they can strengthen damaged teeth, improve tooth shape, restore bite function, and complete dental implant treatment.
Rebuild Worn Teeth
Crowns can restore damaged biting surfaces and help improve chewing comfort when teeth have worn down over time.
Repair Decay
When decay or a failed filling removes too much tooth structure, a crown can provide full-coverage protection.
Strengthen Cracks
A crown can help hold a cracked or weakened tooth together and protect it from additional damage.
Protect Root Canal Teeth
After root canal therapy, a crown may be recommended to protect the remaining tooth structure.
Improve Appearance
In some cases, a crown can improve tooth color, shape, proportion, and symmetry when more support is needed than a veneer can provide.
Restore Implants
A dental implant replaces the tooth root, while a crown replaces the visible tooth above the gumline.
Same-day crowns without the usual crown process.
Traditional crowns often require a temporary restoration and a second visit after the dental lab fabricates the final crown. CEREC changes the process by allowing many crowns to be digitally designed and created in the office during one appointment.
This gives Dr. Strober more control over fit, contours, shade, bite, and final details while helping patients avoid the inconvenience of multiple visits whenever same-day treatment is appropriate.

CEREC crowns are designed to combine digital precision, ceramic strength, and patient convenience.
Completed In One Day
Your tooth can often be prepared, scanned, designed, milled, fitted, and bonded in one visit.
No Temporary Crown
Because the crown is created in the office, many patients avoid wearing a temporary crown.
Digital Impressions
Digital scanning replaces many traditional impression steps and helps create a precise model of your tooth.
Natural-Looking Ceramic
Ceramic material can be shaped and shaded to blend naturally with surrounding teeth.
In-Office Control
Dr. Strober can refine the restoration chairside before final placement.
How your same-day crown is made.
CEREC uses a digital workflow to move from diagnosis to crown placement more efficiently. Your exact process depends on the condition of your tooth, your bite, the material selected, and the clinical details of your case.
Explore Advanced TechnologyExam & Tooth Preparation
Dr. Strober evaluates the tooth, removes damaged structure, and shapes the tooth for a precise ceramic crown.
Digital Scan
A digital impression captures the prepared tooth and surrounding bite details without traditional impression trays in many cases.
Custom Crown Design
The crown is designed digitally to match the shape, contacts, contours, and bite relationship needed for your smile.
In-Office Milling
The restoration is milled from a ceramic block in the office, then refined for shade, surface detail, and fit.
Fit, Bond & Polish
Your crown is checked, bonded, adjusted, and polished so it feels comfortable and blends naturally.
CEREC crowns, lab crowns, veneers, inlays, and onlays.
The right restoration depends on how much tooth structure is damaged, how the tooth looks, how your bite functions, and whether the tooth needs full coverage.
Same-day full coverage
A CEREC crown covers the visible portion of the tooth and is created in the office using digital scanning, design, and milling.
Lab-made full coverage
A lab crown can be an excellent option, but typically involves a temporary crown and a second visit for final placement.
Cosmetic front surface
Veneers usually cover the front of the tooth, while crowns cover the tooth more completely when more protection or structural support is needed.
Partial ceramic repair
Inlays and onlays can restore teeth that need more than a filling but may not require full crown coverage.
CEREC can also support other ceramic restorations.
CEREC is used most often for same-day dental crowns, but it can also help create ceramic inlays, onlays, and select bridge restorations. These options can help preserve more tooth structure when a full crown is not needed.
Inlays and onlays are often recommended when a tooth has too much damage for a filling but does not need full-coverage crown protection. Dr. Strober will explain which option is best for your tooth after a clinical exam.
How to care for a CEREC crown.
CEREC crowns are designed for durability, but every restoration needs proper care. Good oral hygiene, routine dental visits, and avoiding habits that can damage teeth help protect your crown and the tooth beneath it.

These answers are general patient education. Your appointment at Country Club Dentistry will determine whether a same-day CEREC crown is right for your tooth.
What is a CEREC dental crown?
A CEREC crown is a ceramic dental crown created with digital scanning, CAD/CAM design, and in-office milling. It can often be designed, made, and placed in a single visit.
Can CEREC crowns be completed in one appointment?
Yes. Many CEREC crowns can be completed in one appointment, depending on the condition of the tooth, the material selected, and the clinical details of the case.
Are CEREC crowns as good as lab-made crowns?
CEREC crowns are made from high-quality ceramic materials and can provide excellent strength, fit, and appearance. Some cases may still require a lab-made crown depending on complexity, material needs, or esthetic goals.
Do I need a temporary crown with CEREC?
Many patients do not need a temporary crown because the final CEREC restoration can often be created and placed during the same visit.
Does getting a CEREC crown hurt?
The area is typically numbed before treatment, and most patients remain comfortable during the procedure. Some temporary sensitivity can occur after any crown treatment.
How long do CEREC crowns last?
Crown longevity varies based on oral hygiene, bite forces, diet, habits, grinding or clenching, and regular dental care. Good home care and routine dental visits help protect your crown.
Can CEREC make inlays and onlays?
Yes. CEREC technology can also be used for ceramic inlays and onlays when a tooth needs more support than a filling but may not require a full crown.
