CEREC® Same-Day Crowns: High-Tech. No Wait.
Dental work doesn’t have to mean multiple appointments, temporary crowns, or weeks of waiting. With CEREC® technology at Harbor City Dental, we can design, craft, and place custom ceramic restorations—all in a single visit.
That means less time in the chair, fewer injections, and no second appointment. Just efficient, comfortable care with long-lasting results.
What Is CEREC®?
CEREC® stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. In simpler terms: it’s a cutting-edge system that allows us to create high-quality ceramic crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers right here in the office, while you wait.
The system includes:
A high-resolution scanner to create 3D digital images of your tooth
CAD software to design a custom-fit restoration
An in-house milling machine that crafts your new crown from a solid ceramic block
From scan to placement, it’s all done under one roof—often in under two hours.
