CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) crowns are high-quality, custom-made dental crowns created in our office using 3D imaging and computer-aided design. Instead of waiting for weeks while a traditional crown is made offsite, CEREC allows our Lawrence team to scan your tooth, design it digitally, and mill it from ceramic—right before your eyes. The result: a custom, permanent restoration completed in a single visit.

The biggest difference is time and convenience. Traditional crowns require messy impressions, a temporary crown, and a follow-up appointment once the permanent crown is ready from a dental lab. With CEREC crowns at our Lawrence office, everything happens in one visit—there is no need to wear a temporary crown or return for another appointment. Plus, digital impressions are more comfortable than traditional molds.

CEREC crowns are built to be long-lasting and can typically serve you well for 10 to 15 years—or even longer with excellent care. Like traditional crowns, their longevity depends on good oral hygiene, regular dental checkups, and avoiding habits like teeth grinding or chewing on hard objects. Brush twice daily, floss regularly, and maintain routine cleanings at our Lawrence office to keep your crown and natural teeth healthy.

Most patients who need a dental crown are great candidates for CEREC. Whether you have a cracked tooth, a large cavity, or a worn-down filling, our team will assess your situation and determine if same-day crown technology is right for you. CEREC is also ideal for those with busy schedules who want efficient, long-lasting results.
