Same-Day Dental Crowns in Rittenhouse Square

What Is a CEREC Crown?

A CEREC crown is a custom-made, ceramic dental crown designed, milled, and placed — all in one appointment. Using 3D imaging and in-office milling, we’re able to build a precise, natural-looking crown while you relax in our Rittenhouse Square office.

No goopy impressions. No second visits. No weeks of waiting.

Perfect for restoring teeth that are cracked, decayed, or weakened by old fillings, CEREC crowns offer the same strength and beauty of traditional crowns in a fraction of the time.

“I couldn't believe I walked out with my permanent crown the same day. Dr. Ames made the process quick and painless — and it looks fantastic.” — Philly Smiles Patient

When Is a CEREC Crown the Right Choice?

We may recommend a same-day crown if you have:

• A large cavity that’s too big for a filling
  
  
• A cracked or worn-down tooth
  
  
• An old crown that needs replacement
  
  
• A tooth that has undergone root canal therapy
  
  
• Cosmetic concerns that affect function
  
  

Not all cases are suited for CEREC. If a traditional crown is a better fit due to bite or material needs, we’ll always let you know — and explain your options clearly.
