What are CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns?
CEREC stands for “Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics” and is a name for a set of processes that results in the design and crafting of a customized dental crown, inlay, or onlay. The technology used for this system includes CAD/CAM software to design the crown, a digital impression system to capture a putty-free blueprint of your tooth, and an in-house milling machine to craft the restoration.
The Process of Getting a CEREC Same-Day Dental Crown
If you need a dental crown, it’s likely that one of our dentists in Massapequa Park will recommend a same-day restoration for their convenience and durability. The first step will be to prepare your tooth for the restoration. We’ll administer a local anesthetic to numb the area around the tooth, allowing us to comfortably remove a small amount of enamel to allow the restoration to lay flush within the mouth and fit perfectly atop the tooth.
After our team has captured a digital impression of your tooth, we’ll design the crown using CAD/CAM software and send the design to our in-house milling machine. From here, a solid block of porcelain will be meticulously etched and shaped into an inlay, onlay, or dental crown that we’ll cement atop your prepared tooth.

When you decide to invest in a same-day CEREC dental crown in Massapequa Park, you’ll be able to enjoy a number of benefits, including:

Understanding the Cost of CEREC Crowns
You might be thinking that getting a CEREC same-day dental crown to assist your smile sounds too good to be true, and you could be worried that this treatment is going to cost you quite a lot. However, there is no “set cost” when it comes to CEREC crowns since everyone’s needs are different! But by having a better understanding of how these restorations are priced, you’ll have all the confidence you need to commit to your smile’s future. Here’s what you need to know.
Factors That Affect the Cost of Dental Crowns
Dental crowns come in different shapes, sizes, and shades, and determining the price of yours depends on several different factors, with the main ones being:
- The severity of the dental damage/decay and if any preliminary treatments are needed before, such as a root canal or the placement of a dental implant.
- The type of material that will be used to craft your customized dental crown; with CEREC crowns, high-grade ceramic materials are used to ensure durability and a natural appearance.
During your consultation at our office, once we’ve had the chance to examine your smile and walk you through your treatment plan, we’ll also review all of these factors in greater detail so you understand exactly what you’re receiving.
Does Dental Insurance Cover Dental Crowns?
You’ll be happy to hear that in many cases, dental insurance companies are likely to cover the portion of the cost associated with a dental crown. This amount may be up to 50%, since these restorations can be deemed medically necessary. However, the only way to know for sure is to look over your plan before committing to treatment. We understand that dental insurance plans aren’t always easy to navigate, so we’re here to help you confirm your benefits, file your claim, and ultimately ensure that you make the most of your coverage—just let us know how we can help.
