Dental crowns are used in restorative dentistry to cover and protect damaged or decayed teeth, like a cap. The crown is typically custom-made to match the patient’s tooth shape and bite.

Traditionally, this process can take over a week and require multiple dental appointments.

Thankfully, we now offer same-day CEREC crowns, allowing you to restore your smile in just one visit to our dental clinic in London.

How same day CEREC crowns work

CEREC, which stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic, is a procedure that replaces traditional metal crowns with high-quality ceramic restorations.

CEREC is a trusted system for same-day ceramic crowns. It can be used for inlays, onlays and full crowns, allowing us to design, mill and fit your permanent crown within hours instead of days.

Digital impression

3D digital scanning using intraoral scanners replaces traditional impressions. This means no putty or moulds - just a quick and comfortable scan.

Designing

Your dentist uses computer-aided design (CAD/CAM) technology to create a precise, customised crown based on your digital scan.

Milling

The design is then created from a high-quality ceramic block using the CEREC milling system.

Same day placement

Your new crown is fitted on the same day using strong dental bonding. No temporary restorations are required.

Comprehensive care with same day crowns

At Tavistock Dental, we provide complete dental care alongside your CEREC crown treatment.

Root canal treatment

If you have had root canal treatment, a CEREC crown can provide protection and help restore strength to the tooth.

Dental implants

Losing a tooth affects more than just your smile - it can change the way you eat, speak and feel about yourself. Implants are the closest thing to replacing a natural tooth, offering a permanent, stable solution that looks and feels like the real thing. Arjinder leads all implant treatment here, bringing a level of care and attention to detail that patients travel across London for.

Emergency dental care

A broken tooth, sudden pain or a lost filling never comes at a good time. When something goes wrong, you need to be seen quickly by someone who knows what they're doing. We keep space for emergency appointments so you're not left waiting days in discomfort - just get in touch and we'll get you seen as soon as possible.

Book your appointment

Getting same day CEREC crowns is more accessible than ever with Tavistock Dental. Our approach combines advanced technology with personalised care to ensure precision, comfort and long-lasting results.

We offer flexible appointment times for busy patients, helping you fit treatment around your schedule.

Frequently asked questions in Bloomsbury, WC1H

How much time does it take to have same day CEREC crowns?

You can have same day CEREC crowns fitted in as little as 2 hours, although some cases may take longer depending on your treatment needs.

How long do I have to wait before eating after treatment?

We recommend soft foods and liquids for the first 2 to 3 hours after treatment while the anaesthetic wears off. For harder foods, it is best to wait 24 to 48 hours to allow the bonding to fully set.

Is it painful to have CEREC dental crowns?

The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel discomfort during treatment. You may experience mild sensitivity afterwards, particularly if combined with other procedures such as root canal treatment.

How long do CEREC crowns last?

CEREC crowns typically last ten to fifteen years or longer with proper care. Maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding excessive pressure on the crown will help prolong its lifespan.
