CEREC Same-Day Crowns in Winston-Salem, NC

When you need a dental crown, you shouldn’t have to wait weeks, wear a temporary, or return for multiple appointments. With CEREC® same-day crowns, you can walk into our office with a damaged tooth and leave the same day with a permanent, custom-crafted restoration — no impressions, no waiting, no hassle.

At Trenton B. Bottoms, DDS, we use cutting-edge CAD/CAM technology to design, mill, and place beautiful ceramic crowns in a single visit. If you're looking for high-tech, convenient dental care in Winston-Salem, our in-office CEREC system delivers comfort, speed, and precision — all without compromising quality.

What Is a CEREC Crown?

CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics — a system that allows us to digitally design and create your custom crown right here in our office while you wait.

Instead of taking physical impressions and sending them to a lab, we use a digital scanner to create a 3D model of your tooth, then mill a high-quality ceramic crown on-site. The result? A natural-looking, durable crown completed in just one visit.

CEREC crowns are ideal for:

• Cracked or broken teeth
  
• Large areas of decay
  
• Replacement of old or failing crowns
  
• Cosmetic improvement of shape or color
  
• Patients seeking a fast, modern solution

What to Expect During Your Appointment

1. Digital Scan & Design
   We begin by scanning your tooth with a small, handheld camera. The digital image is used to create a 3D model of your crown.
   
2. Crown Design
   Dr. Bottoms customizes your restoration on-screen, adjusting the shape, contours, and bite alignment for ideal aesthetics and function.
   
3. On-Site Milling
   Your crown is carved from a solid block of ceramic using our in-office milling machine — right here while you relax.
   
4. Placement & Bonding
   Once milled, the crown is polished, fitted, and permanently bonded to your tooth — all within the same visit.
   

Are CEREC Crowns Right for You?

CEREC same-day crowns are an excellent option for most patients who need a single crown, especially for molars, premolars, and some front teeth. They offer a seamless blend of efficiency, convenience, and aesthetics.

We’ll help you decide between a CEREC crown and a lab-fabricated porcelain crown based on your clinical needs and cosmetic goals.
