Same-Day Crowns in Garden City, NY
Restore Your Smile in Just One Visit
A damaged or weakened tooth does not always require two appointments and weeks of waiting. At Henner Dental Associates, Dr. Marc Henner and Dr. Jessica Henner use CEREC technology to design, mill, and deliver porcelain or ceramic restorations in a single visit.
Same-day crowns can restore cracked, decayed, broken, or worn teeth and replace large fillings that no longer provide enough support. With digital impressions, no temporary crown, and no second appointment in many cases, CEREC offers a more convenient way to restore your tooth while keeping treatment precise and personalized.
How CEREC Same-Day Crowns Work
CEREC allows us to complete many crown restorations in about 2.5 hours. After preparing the tooth, your dentist takes a precise digital impression, so there is no putty or messy impression material. The restoration is then designed and milled in our office from porcelain or ceramic before being checked for fit, shape, and bite.
Once everything looks and feels right, Dr. Marc Henner or Dr. Jessica Henner bonds the finished crown securely in place. In many cases, you leave the same day with your permanent restoration.
More Than Full-Coverage Crowns
CEREC technology can be used for more than traditional crowns. Depending on how much healthy tooth structure remains, your dentist may recommend an inlay or onlay instead.
These partial-coverage restorations repair damaged areas while preserving more of your natural tooth. Your dentist will examine the tooth and recommend the option that provides the right level of support.
When a Same-Day Crown May Be Recommended
Same-day crowns can address a wide range of dental concerns, including cracked teeth, decay, broken teeth, worn teeth, and large fillings that need to be replaced. They may also be used when a tooth needs additional strength after significant damage or treatment.
CEREC is not the best choice for every patient. People who grind or clench heavily or have a severe bite problem may need a different restorative material or treatment approach. Dr. Marc Henner or Dr. Jessica Henner will evaluate your tooth and bite before recommending the right option.
What Makes CEREC Same-Day Crowns Different
How Long Do Same-Day Crowns Last?
A CEREC crown can serve your smile for years when it is cared for properly. Regular dental visits allow us to monitor the restoration, your bite, and the health of the surrounding tooth and gums.
Good home care matters too. Consistent brushing, flossing, and following your dentist’s recommendations can help protect both the crown and the tooth underneath it.

Frequently Asked Questions About Same-Day Crowns
What is a CEREC same-day crown?
A CEREC same-day crown is a porcelain or ceramic restoration that is digitally designed, milled, and placed during one appointment. The process often takes about 2.5 hours and does not require a temporary crown.
Do CEREC crowns require traditional impressions?
No. Henner Dental Associates uses digital impressions for CEREC restorations, so there is no need for traditional putty or impression material.
What problems can a same-day crown repair?
Same-day crowns may be used for cracked, decayed, broken, or worn teeth, as well as teeth with large fillings that need to be replaced. Your dentist will evaluate the tooth to determine the right type of restoration.
Can CEREC be used for inlays and onlays?
Yes. CEREC can also be used to create inlays and onlays. These partial-coverage restorations may be appropriate when the tooth needs reinforcement but does not require a full crown.
Is everyone a candidate for a CEREC crown?
Not always. Patients who grind or clench their teeth heavily or have severe malocclusion may benefit from another restorative approach. Your dentist will review your bite and tooth condition before making a recommendation.
How do I care for a same-day crown?
Care for a CEREC crown much like you care for your natural teeth. Brush twice a day, floss daily, and keep up with regular dental exams and cleanings so your dentist can monitor the crown, your bite, and the tooth underneath it.
