CEREC Technology – Modern Dentistry at Your Fingertips

CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics — a computer-assisted system that allows dental professionals to produce tailor-made ceramic crowns in-practice, without outsourcing to an external laboratory.
At Ferny Smiles Dental, this advanced system integrates digital scanning, 3D design software, and in-house milling equipment to craft precise restorations. Unlike traditional crowns that require messy impressions, temporary covers, and multiple appointments, the CEREC process delivers high-quality results in one visit — supported by our clinic’s brand-new digital equipment.

When Might You Need a CEREC Crown?

Same-day CEREC crowns may be recommended when a tooth needs added strength or a cosmetic refresh. Common scenarios include:

  • A tooth weakened due to decay
  • Large or deteriorating fillings
  • Cracks, chips, or fractures
  • Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment
  • Teeth with discolouration or irregular shape requiring cosmetic enhancement


A comprehensive dental assessment at our Ferny Smiles clinic will determine if CEREC technology is the right fit for your unique situation.

Same Day Crowns vs Traditional Crowns

What’s the difference?

Same day crowns have changed the way we restore teeth. Here’s how they compare to traditional crown methods:
Feature Traditional Crowns Same Day CEREC Crowns
Number of visits Typically 2 or more Completed in 1 visit
Impressions Physical moulds (can feel uncomfortable) Digital scanning, no messy impressions
Temporary crown Required between visits Not needed
Waiting time Around 1–2 weeks for lab fabrication Crown made on the same day
Convenience Multiple appointments required Minimal disruption to your schedule
Technology Lab-based fabrication Designed and milled in-clinic
Fit and precision Accurate Digitally designed for precise fit
Materials Porcelain or mixed materials High-quality ceramic

What a game changer.

For many patients, this means less time in the dental chair, fewer appointments, and a faster return to normal eating and function.

What Happens During a CEREC Crown Appointment?

Consultation and Tooth Preparation
Your appointment begins with a thorough evaluation to determine the best course of treatment. If a crown is recommended, the tooth is carefully shaped to support a long-lasting restoration.

Digital Impressions
Using a handheld scanner, detailed 3D images of the tooth and surrounding area are captured — replacing the need for traditional moulds.

Custom Design
Advanced software helps us design your crown based on your unique tooth anatomy. You can even view the proposed crown on screen before it’s made.

Onsite Milling
Once the design is finalised, our in-house CEREC machine mills your crown from a solid block of ceramic — typically within 20 minutes.

Fitting and Bonding
Your new crown is then polished, checked for fit and bite accuracy, and permanently bonded. Any final adjustments are made for optimal comfort.

Caring for Your New CEREC Crown

With proper care, your ceramic crown can serve you for many years. Maintaining healthy brushing and flossing habits, as well as attending your regular dental check-ups, helps ensure your crown stays in top condition. During your visits to Ferny Smiles Dental, we’ll monitor the integrity of your crown and the health of the surrounding teeth and gums.
