What Are CEREC Crowns and Onlays?

CEREC crowns and onlays are advanced dental restorations designed to repair and strengthen damaged teeth in a single visit. Using state-of-the-art digital technology, your dentist creates and places a perfectly fitted restoration without the need for temporary crowns or multiple appointments.

The CEREC system scans your tooth digitally, designs the restoration on-screen, and mills it right in the office using durable ceramic material. Once shaped and polished, it’s bonded directly to your tooth for a natural, long-lasting finish that blends seamlessly with your smile.

Professional CEREC crowns and onlays deliver stronger, more precise results than traditional lab-made or mail-order options. With the expertise of Dr. Boeschenstein and Dr. Middleton, you’ll receive a restoration designed for comfort, durability, and a natural appearance, all in just one visit.

How to Prepare for Your CEREC Crowns and Onlays

Before your appointment, brush and floss thoroughly to remove food particles and plaque. Inform your dentist of any recent dental issues or discomfort so your treatment plan can be fully customized.

Avoid eating sticky or hard foods right before your visit, and plan a light meal since you may experience mild numbness afterward. If you take daily medications, continue them as prescribed unless otherwise directed.

CEREC treatments are completed in a single day, so set aside one to two hours for your visit. You’ll leave with your final restoration placed and polished—no temporary crown, no follow-up waiting.

Aftercare for CEREC Crowns and Onlays

After your CEREC restoration, you may experience mild sensitivity for 24–48 hours, especially to temperature changes. This is normal and should subside quickly. Over-the-counter pain relief can help with any temporary discomfort.

Avoid chewing hard foods or ice on the treated side for the first day, and stay away from sticky candy that could put stress on your new restoration. Continue gentle brushing and flossing to keep the area clean.

To maintain your results, schedule routine checkups and cleanings every six months. With good oral hygiene and professional monitoring, your CEREC crowns and onlays can last for many years—keeping your smile strong and natural-looking.

I really enjoyed getting my teeth cleaned today, as Dr B explained everything she was doing and that she could help me with my dentures as they didn’t fit. She was able to help me out so I don’t have to get new ones. She wants to see me in two weeks if having any issues or cancel it if they are working out.
