Same-Day CEREC Crowns in Nyack, NY

Walk in with a broken tooth and walk out with the finished crown.

A same-day CEREC crown is a permanent porcelain crown designed, milled and fitted in one appointment. At our Nyack dental office the tooth is scanned digitally, the crown is milled in the office on a Primemill unit, and it is bonded the same day for $1,800, with no temporary and no second visit.

What happens at a crown appointment

Your tooth is prepared and scanned, the crown is designed on screen while you watch, and the mill cuts it out of a solid block of porcelain. That part takes roughly an hour, and Dr. Bodie generally sends patients out to walk around downtown Nyack rather than sit in a dental chair waiting. You come back, he fits it, and you are finished.

The real win? No temporary crown

The conventional route means a temporary crown for two weeks, eating carefully on one side, and the reasonable fear that it will come off at the worst moment. Skipping that stage is what patients actually notice. Several have come in with a broken tooth genuinely surprised they could leave the same day with a permanent, well-fitting, good-looking restoration.

Digital dentistry for crowns

The fit comes from a Primescan digital scan rather than a tray of impression material, which is both more comfortable for you and more accurate for us. Digital dentistry is the reason this practice works the way it does, and same-day crowns are the clearest example of why we do it this way.

How much does a same-day crown cost in Nyack, NY?

A same-day CEREC crown costs $1,800 at our Nyack dental office, the same as a conventional crown, with no extra charge for finishing it in one visit. Your consultation is free, we will check any insurance benefit before you start, and Affirm and HFD can spread the cost monthly.

What is a CEREC crown?

A CEREC crown is a porcelain crown designed on a computer from a digital scan of your tooth and milled in the office from a solid block of ceramic. Because it is made on site, it is fitted at the same appointment rather than sent to an outside laboratory.

Does getting a crown hurt?

Preparing a tooth for a crown involves minimal discomfort and is done with local anesthetic. Patients regularly tell Dr. Bodie the injection was easier than they expected because he takes it slowly, and you will always be told how much time is left.

How long do CEREC crowns last?

A well-fitted CEREC crown commonly lasts well over a decade and often much longer. What decides it is the health of the tooth and gum underneath, plus whether you grind, which is why a night guard is sometimes recommended alongside.

How many appointments does a same-day crown take?

One. Preparation, scan, design, milling and fitting all happen in the same visit, with about an hour in the middle while the crown is milled. Most patients spend that hour out of the building.

Is a same-day crown as good as a lab-made one?

Yes, and the fit is often better because it is taken from a digital scan rather than an impression that can distort. The porcelain is milled from a single solid block, and the whole thing is designed by the dentist who prepared the tooth.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • My crown came off in Nyack, NY. What can I do?

    Call us. Same-day crowns exist for exactly this, and if we can get you in there is a realistic chance you leave with the permanent one fitted.

  • Do I have to sit in the chair the whole time you’re working on my crown?

    No, and most people do not. The milling takes about an hour and Dr. Bodie usually suggests a walk around downtown Nyack. Come back and it is fitted.

  • I’ve always hated impression trays. Is there another option?

    Yes, and you will be relieved. We don’t use putty or trays; the fit comes from a digital scan, which is one of the most common things patients say they are grateful for.

  • Will my crown match the tooth next to it?

    It is shaded and designed in our office, against the tooth beside it, by the person who prepared it. If whitening is in your plans, do it first so the crown is matched to your final shade.

  • Does insurance cover crowns?

    Many plans contribute toward crowns. We will check your specific benefits before treatment rather than guess, and tell you the balance up front so there is no surprise afterward.
