CEREC Same-Day Crowns in Lawrence, KS
If you’ve ever had a dental crown placed the traditional way, you know it usually involves two appointments, a temporary crown, and weeks of waiting. At Jayhawk Dental, we’ve eliminated the wait with advanced CEREC same-day crowns—a fast, high-tech solution that restores your tooth in just one visit.

Restore Your Tooth in a Single Visit — No Temporaries, No Waiting
Our team, including Dr. Michelle Saunders, Dr. Justin Anderson, Dr. Lesley R. Nellor, and Dr. Daniel Davis, uses state-of-the-art CEREC technology to design, craft, and place durable, natural-looking crowns right here in our Lawrence office—no temporary needed.
What Are CEREC Crowns?
CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is a modern dental system that allows us to create same-day dental crowns using 3D imaging and in-office milling technology.
Instead of taking messy impressions and sending them off to a lab, we:
- Use digital scans to map your tooth
- Design your crown with CAD/CAM software
- Fabricate it from tooth-colored ceramic right in our office
- Place the crown permanently—all in a single appointment
CEREC crowns are strong, esthetic, and precisely fitted for comfort and function.
Why Patients Choose Same-Day Crowns
CEREC same-day crowns offer significant advantages over traditional crowns:
- Completed in one visit—no second appointment required
- No temporary crowns or waiting period
- Digital impressions—no goopy trays
- Made from durable, tooth-colored ceramic
- Designed to match your bite and natural smile
- Ideal for emergency or time-sensitive dental needs
They’re perfect for restoring a damaged or decayed tooth quickly—without compromising on quality.
When Do You Need a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is used to protect, restore, and strengthen a tooth when:
- A large cavity weakens the tooth structure
- A tooth is cracked, chipped, or fractured
- After root canal therapy
- To replace a worn or failing old crown
- To anchor a dental bridge
- To restore a dental implant
Our dentists will always walk you through the options and help determine if a CEREC crown is the best solution for your case.
The CEREC Crown Process
Here’s what to expect during your one-visit crown appointment:
Step 1: Digital Scanning
We use an intraoral scanner to create a precise 3D image of your tooth—no need for traditional impressions.
Step 2: Crown Design
Your crown is digitally designed using CAD software, ensuring exact fit and aesthetics.
Step 3: In-House Milling
Our CEREC machine carves your crown from a solid block of ceramic while you relax.
Step 4: Final Placement
Once milled, we bond the crown to your tooth, polish it, and make final adjustments—all in one visit.
You leave with a fully restored tooth—no temporary crown, no second appointment.
