At Mission Peak Dental, we offer CEREC same-day crowns for patients in Fremont, CA who want fast, durable, and natural-looking restorations — without the need for temporary crowns or multiple visits. CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) uses digital impressions and in-office milling technology to design and create your custom dental crown in a single appointment.

This streamlined process begins with a digital scan of your tooth, eliminating the discomfort of traditional impressions. Once the crown is digitally designed, it is milled from a solid block of ceramic using precise CEREC equipment, then bonded the same day. This saves time while maintaining the quality and durability of traditional lab-fabricated crowns.

CEREC crowns are ideal for:

  • Restoring a cracked or broken tooth

  • Covering a tooth after root canal therapy

  • Replacing old, failing crowns

  • Strengthening teeth weakened by decay or large fillings

  • Natural Appearance: Tooth-colored ceramic blends seamlessly with your smile

  • No Messy Impressions: Digital scanning replaces traditional molds for a more comfortable experience

Your crown will be carefully color-matched and contoured to look and feel like your natural tooth. With our experienced dentists, Dr. Aparna Borole and Dr. Audrey Duong Ta, overseeing every step, you can trust that your restoration will be completed with accuracy, efficiency, and a focus on long-term oral health.

To support your crown placement, we may use diagnostic tools such as cone beam CBCT for added precision in complex cases.
