A damaged tooth can interrupt your day and cause stress, especially when you expect a long treatment process. Same-day porcelain restorations simplify that experience with fast results that look natural. Many people in Abington choose this option because it saves time while still maintaining quality. The convenience of modern digital scanning makes the process smooth from start to finish.

At McDowell Dental & Aesthetics Dental & Aesthetics in Rydal, Dr. Ashley McDowell brings advanced training and decades of family dental knowledge to every treatment. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from Temple University’s School of Dentistry and continued her education at the Las Vegas Institute of Advanced Dental Studies. Dr. McDowell uses CEREC technology and digital imaging to create precise restorations that blend with your smile. 

Benefits of CEREC Crowns

Same-day crowns appeal to patients who want a smooth experience without multiple visits. The digital workflow helps create a secure porcelain restoration that fits comfortably and looks natural. These points highlight the advantages of this approach:

• Single-appointment convenience: Treatment and crown placement occur in one visit.
• Digital impressions: Scanning removes the need for traditional impression trays.
• Natural appearance: The porcelain matches surrounding teeth for a seamless look.
• Long lifespan: Porcelain crowns often last 10 to 15 years with proper care.
• No temporary crown: You avoid wearing a fragile temporary restoration.

These features create a simple and comfortable process for people who want reliable results.

CEREC Technology

Modern CEREC technology supports same-day restorations by capturing detailed digital scans of your tooth. A 2024 study in BMC Oral Health examined the accuracy of several CEREC scanners and found that they produced precise digital impressions across different dental materials. That level of precision helps your crown fit comfortably and limits the need for adjustments. 

Once the scan is complete, Dr. McDowell uses the digital model to shape your porcelain crown in the office with a milling unit. Most crowns are finished the same day, so you leave with a strong and natural-looking tooth instead of a temporary.
