CEREC Same Day Crowns in Renton, WA

Remember the old days of getting a crown? Two visits, messy impressions, wearing a temporary crown for weeks, hoping it doesn't fall off before your permanent crown is ready? At Michael J. Scoles, DMD in Renton, WA, we've left those days behind. With CEREC same-day dentistry, Dr. Michael Scoles—a CEREC master trainer—can design, create, and place your permanent crown in a single visit.

What Is CEREC?

CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. It's a sophisticated system that allows us to create high-quality ceramic dental restorations right here in our office while you wait. No dental lab, no temporary crowns, no second appointment—just one visit and you're done.

How Does CEREC Work?

The CEREC process is surprisingly straightforward:

1. Preparation – We prepare your tooth just as we would for a traditional crown, removing decay and shaping the tooth.
2. Digital scanning – Instead of messy impression material, we use a small camera to take precise 3D images of your tooth.
3. Design – Using advanced software, we design your custom crown right at chairside. You can even watch the process on a screen.
4. Milling – Our in-office milling machine carves your crown from a solid block of high-quality ceramic. This takes about 10-15 minutes.
5. Placement – We check the fit and color, make any final adjustments, and permanently bond the crown to your tooth.

The entire process typically takes about 2 hours, and you leave with your permanent restoration complete.
