Same-Day Crowns (CEREC) in West Covina, CA

CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is a state-of-the-art CAD/CAM system that allows us to design, fabricate, and place a permanent dental crown in a single appointment. At Harmony Dental Care in West Covina, our CEREC technology eliminates the need for messy impressions, temporary crowns, and return visits. Using a digital scanner, Dr. Khaef captures a precise 3D image of your tooth. The crown is designed on-screen, milled from a solid block of high-strength ceramic, and bonded to your tooth—all in about one hour. You leave with a permanent, natural-looking crown in one visit. Busy patients from City of Industry, Irwindale, and Walnut love our one-visit CEREC crown technology — no second appointment needed.

How CEREC Works

Step 1: Digital Scan

The iTero scanner captures a detailed 3D model of your tooth and surrounding teeth—no impression trays needed.

Step 2: Computer-Aided Design

Dr. Khaef designs your crown on-screen using CEREC software, adjusting shape, contours, and bite for a perfect fit.

Step 3: In-Office Milling

The CEREC milling unit carves your crown from a solid block of color-matched ceramic in approximately 15 minutes.

Step 4: Bonding

The finished crown is tried on, adjusted, polished, and permanently bonded. Total chairside time: about one hour.

Advantages of Same-Day Crowns

CEREC crowns save time with one visit instead of two, eliminate the discomfort of temporary crowns, use digital impressions (no messy trays), provide all-ceramic, metal-free restorations, and offer excellent aesthetics and durability comparable to lab-fabricated crowns.

We brought our two young kids in for their checkups, and the whole team was fantastic. They were exceptionally patient, gentle, and somehow managed to make the whole process fun for the kids. We’ve definitely found our forever family dentist.
