CEREC Same-Day Restorations

In the past, getting a dental crown or other restoration often meant wearing a temporary for a week or more while your permanent piece was made at an off-site lab. With CEREC same-day restorations in Salt Lake City, Holladay Smiles can shorten that wait considerably. Dr. Michael T. Smith uses CEREC technology to craft many crowns, veneers, inlays, and onlays in a single visit.

CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. Using CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and manufacturing) technology, Dr. Smith takes a digital scan of your tooth, designs your restoration on-screen, and mills it from a solid ceramic block in our office while you wait. CEREC can be used to create crowns, veneers, and inlays and onlays.

Here are some of the benefits of CEREC same-day restorations:

• One visit: Many restorations are designed, milled, and placed in a single appointment.
• No temporary needed: You avoid wearing a temporary restoration while waiting for a permanent one from an outside lab.
• Digital precision: A digital scan supports an accurate fit without a traditional physical impression.
• Efficient scheduling: Same-day treatment means fewer appointments to work around your schedule.

Between our CEREC technology and in-house dental lab, Dr. Smith and our team can often complete your restoration without the wait that traditional lab-made crowns and veneers require.
