CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns in San Jose

Strong, Beautiful, Natural-Looking Restorations — All in One Visit

When a tooth is cracked, broken, worn, or weakened, a crown helps protect and strengthen it so you can chew comfortably again. Traditionally, getting a crown required two or more appointments, temporary crowns, impressions, and waiting weeks for a lab to create the final restoration.

At Smiletheory in San Jose, we use CEREC digital technology to design, craft, and place your crown in a single visit to our San Jose office, so you leave the same day with a strong, natural-looking tooth.

No temporary crowns.

No second appointment.

No messy impressions.

Just beautiful, precise, same-day results.

Why a Crown May Be Needed

A crown restores function, comfort, and protection when a tooth is:

  • Cracked or fractured

  • Worn down from grinding

  • Weakened after a large filling

Instead of patching or repairing repeatedly, a crown offers a long-term, stable solution that protects your natural tooth from further damage.

  • Damaged from trauma

  • Treated with a root canal

  • Chipped or broken

What Makes CEREC Crowns Different

CEREC crowns are crafted using advanced digital scanning and ceramic milling technology. Instead of impressions and waiting weeks for a lab, your crown is designed and created right here in our office.

Benefits of Same-Day Crowns:

  • Strong + durable ceramic material

  • Natural-looking, tooth-colored appearance

  • No temporary crown needed

  • Precise digital fit — no guesswork

  • Comfortable — no impression trays

  • Leave with your final crown the same day

This approach not only saves time, it creates better long-term outcomes for many patients.

Quick and comfortable — nothing to hold in your mouth.

You can relax while we design.

4. On-Site Ceramic Milling

About 10–20 minutes of relaxed waiting.

5. Final Placement

What Happens :

We bond your new crown securely and check your bite.

How It Feels:

It immediately feels natural and stable.

You walk out of your appointment with your final restoration, not a temporary one.

A Natural Look You’ll Feel Confident Wearing

Your new crown is:

  • Color-matched to your natural teeth

  • Designed to reflect light like real enamel

  • Shaped to harmonize with your smile

  • Smooth and comfortable to the touch

  • Completely free of metal

The result is a crown that doesn’t look like dental work, it simply looks like your tooth.

Comfort Matters — Always

We know dental restoration can feel intimidating if you’ve had stressful experiences before.
Here, in our San Jose office, we take a gentle, slow-paced, supportive approach.

Comfort options may include:

  • Trusted numbing techniques

  • Breaks at any time, you are in control

  • Headphones & calming environment

  • Nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”), if desired

Your emotional comfort is part of the treatment plan.

How Long Do CEREC Crowns Last?

With good home care, daily hygiene, and routine check-ups, CEREC same-day dental crowns in San Jose are long-lasting. Many patients enjoy 10–20+ years of use.

To help protect the crown long-term, we may recommend:

  • A nightguard for clenching or grinding

  • Gum health maintenance visits

  • Gentle bite alignment adjustments when needed

The goal is lifelong comfort and function.
