If you’ve ever needed a dental crown, you may remember the hassle: messy impressions, temporary crowns, multiple visits and weeks of waiting. At Cary Implant and General Dentistry, we believe your time is just as important as your smile. That’s why we offer same-day dental crowns using state-of-the-art CEREC technology—a fast, comfortable and highly precise solution for restoring damaged teeth in just one visit.

What Are Same-Day Crowns?

Same-day crowns are custom-made ceramic restorations that cover and protect damaged, decayed or worn teeth. Unlike traditional crowns that require two or more visits and a temporary crown, same-day crowns are created and placed in a single appointment.

Using CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics), our team designs, mills, and places your crown while you relax in the dental chair—no goopy impressions, no second visit and no waiting weeks for a lab.

How the Process Works

Here’s what you can expect during your same-day crown appointment at our Cary, NC, office:

1. Digital Scanning: We begin with a quick, comfortable 3D scan of your mouth using an intraoral scanner—no trays or molds needed.

2. Digital Design: Using advanced software, your crown is custom-designed to match your bite, shape and natural tooth color.

3. In-House Milling: The design is sent to our CEREC milling machine, which crafts your crown from a durable ceramic block in about 15–20 minutes.

4. Fitting and Bonding: Once milled, your dentist will ensure a perfect fit and bond the crown in place—no temporary needed.

The entire visit typically lasts about two hours, and you’ll walk out with a fully restored, natural-looking tooth.

Who Can Benefit from Same-Day Crowns?

Same-day crowns are a great option for busy professionals, parents or anyone who values convenience without compromising quality. They’re ideal for patients with:

• Cracked or broken teeth

• Large fillings that need replacement

• Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment

• Cosmetic concerns like misshapen or discolored teeth

Our patients love the efficiency and comfort of this modern alternative to traditional crowns—and the fact that they only need to take time off once!

Losing a tooth—or several—can impact more than just your smile. It can affect your ability to chew, speak and feel confident. At Cary Implant and General Dentistry, we understand how important it is to restore your smile in a way that feels natural, secure and long-lasting. That’s why we specialize in a wide range of dental implant options tailored to your specific needs.

Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, our team is here to walk you through your options with empathy, honesty and a commitment to personalized care.

Single-Tooth Implants: Simple, Effective and Natural-Looking

If you’re missing just one tooth, a single-tooth implant is often the best solution. This involves placing a small titanium post into your jawbone that acts as a new root. Once healed, we attach a custom-made crown that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. The result? A secure, natural-looking tooth that helps preserve bone health and keeps nearby teeth from shifting.

This is a great option for patients looking for a long-term, low-maintenance solution that looks and feels just like the real thing.

Implant-Retained Bridges and Dentures: The Middle Ground

If you’re missing multiple teeth but not ready for a full-arch solution, implant-retained bridges or dentures may be ideal. Unlike traditional removable dentures, these are anchored to dental implants for added security and stability.

You’ll enjoy:

• Improved chewing function

• Fewer dietary restrictions

• Less risk of shifting or slipping

• Better preservation of bone and facial structure

These options offer a strong, reliable alternative for those seeking improved comfort and aesthetics without replacing every missing tooth with an individual implant.

Full-Arch Dental Implants: A Complete Smile Transformation

For patients who have lost most or all of their teeth in an arch, full-arch dental implants provide a stable, life-changing solution. Also known as “All-on-X” implants, this technique uses just a few implants—typically 4 to 6 per arch—to support a full set of fixed teeth.

At Cary IGD, Dr. Jeff Casebier and Dr. Ivy Shen specialize in full-arch implant rehabilitation and complex restorative planning, combining advanced technology with compassionate care. Whether you’re transitioning from dentures or dealing with failing teeth, this solution restores your smile’s function, beauty and confidence.

Beyond the Chair: Building Trust Through Empathy

Many patients walk into a dental office feeling nervous, unsure or even judged—especially if they haven’t been in for a while.

Our team is especially skilled in full-mouth esthetic rehabilitation, single esthetic implants and complex restorative planning. But what sets us apart isn’t just our advanced training—it’s how we listen to understand what’s right for you, not just what’s possible.

Whether you’re 18 or 80, our focus is on how we can help you move forward toward a healthier, more confident smile.
