CEREC One-Day Crowns at
The Dental Co. Bloemfontein
Needing a crown doesn’t have to mean multiple appointments, uncomfortable impressions, or weeks of waiting. At The Dental Co. in Bloemfontein, we’ve refined the process with CEREC one-day crowns, allowing us to restore strength, function, and aesthetics in a single visit.
Using advanced digital scanning and precision milling, we craft a custom-fitted ceramic crown while you relax. There’s no need for temporary crowns or return visits—just a smooth, efficient experience that leaves you with a strong, natural-looking restoration before you walk out the door.
Restoring Strength and Aesthetics in Just One Visit
Traditional dental crowns require multiple visits, temporary restorations, and messy impressions. CEREC technology streamlines the process, allowing us to create high-quality ceramic crowns in a single appointment. This advanced system ensures a precise fit, strong restoration, and a natural appearance without the inconvenience of waiting weeks for a final crown.
By using digital scanning and in-house milling, we eliminate the need for traditional moulds, reducing discomfort while maintaining exceptional accuracy. This means you walk out with a permanent, custom-fitted crown on the same day, restoring both function and aesthetics without delay.

Our CEREC Crown Process
At The Dental Co., we follow a precise six-step process to ensure your crown fits perfectly and feels natural:
- Preparation of the Tooth
The damaged or decayed portion of the tooth is carefully reshaped to ensure a secure fit for the crown. - Digital Scan
A detailed 3D scan of your tooth is taken to capture its exact dimensions and shape. - Custom Design
Using advanced CAD/CAM software, your crown is digitally designed to fit your bite and match neighbouring teeth. - In-House Milling
The design is sent to our in-practice milling unit, where your crown is crafted from high-strength ceramic. - Fitting & Adjustments
We test the crown for comfort and make any necessary refinements to ensure a precise bite. - Final Polish & Finish
The crown is permanently bonded to your tooth and polished for a natural, smooth finish.
