Our dentists can use a dental crown to solve multiple smile problems. If you have ever needed a crown in the past, you may have had to wait up to two weeks or even longer while your permanent restoration was made in an off-site dental lab. At Avanti Dentistry, Dr. Farshad Farhoumand and associates can use the CEREC system to craft and place your new permanent crown in just one visit. Call our office at (703) 952-0663 if you would like to schedule your appointment for CEREC same-day crowns in Tysons Corner, Virginia.
Traditionally, dental crowns have required two appointments to complete. Using state-of-the-art CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) technology, our dentists can create and place your crown in a single visit, saving you time and preventing the need for multiple visits to our office to restore your smile. Your dental crown is designed using an advanced imaging system, which creates a digital impression. From this impression, our dentists can design and mill a custom dental crown in a matter of minutes to complete your restoration and help you leave our office with a renewed smile.

When you visit our office for a same-day dental crown, our dentists will:
- Thoroughly examine your teeth to ensure that a crown is the right treatment for you
- Remove weakened, decayed or broken tooth material
- Capture a digital picture of your mouth
- Convert that picture into a 3D model
- Create your restoration based on the 3D model
- Mill your crown from a block of tooth-colored material
In a matter of a few minutes, your crown will be ready. Our dentists will then place it in your mouth, check that it fits properly, bond it into place and polish it to complete your treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions About CEREC Same-Day Crowns
What are the differences between getting a CEREC crown in McLean and the traditional crown process that requires multiple visits?
In McLean and the surrounding areas, many patients appreciate that CEREC crowns eliminate the need for multiple dental visits. Traditional crowns often require at least two appointments: one for preparation and impressions, and another weeks later for placement. CEREC technology uses advanced 3D imaging and in-office milling to create your crown in a single visit. This means fewer interruptions to your schedule, no need for temporary crowns, and a custom fit designed precisely for your tooth on the same day. Patients love that they can restore their smile in the morning and still have time for afternoon errands or work.
Can a CEREC crown be made to blend with the rest of my smile for patients in Falls Church or Vienna?
Absolutely! The digital design process allows our dentists to select a ceramic shade that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. Patients in Falls Church, Vienna, and nearby communities benefit from real-time shade matching right in the dental chair, ensuring your crown looks natural from every angle. This personalized approach helps you leave with a confident, uniform smile. Even under bright lights or in close-up photos, the crown is virtually indistinguishable from your surrounding teeth.
Are CEREC crowns strong enough for back teeth for patients in Great Falls or Annandale?
Yes. CEREC crowns are milled from high-quality ceramic designed to handle the pressure of chewing and grinding, even on molars. In Great Falls, Annandale, and beyond, patients who need durable restorations often choose CEREC because the materials offer excellent fracture resistance. With proper brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups, these crowns can last as long as traditional lab-made crowns—often well over a decade.
How do CEREC crowns help avoid the hassle of temporary crowns for patients in Dunn Loring?
Temporary crowns can be prone to loosening or breaking, creating unnecessary dental visits. In Dunn Loring and the surrounding areas, CEREC’s same-day capability means you skip the temporary phase entirely. You walk out of our office with your permanent crown securely bonded, reducing the risk of discomfort or inconvenience between visits. This saves time and spares you the frustration of dealing with a crown that doesn’t quite fit as comfortably as the final version.
Can CEREC technology help if I need an emergency crown in Arlington or Fairfax?
Yes, and this is where CEREC truly shines. If you crack a tooth, we can scan, design, and place a permanent crown during the same appointment. This minimizes discomfort, protects your tooth quickly, and restores function without waiting weeks for a lab-made restoration. Many patients are surprised that they can walk in with a damaged tooth and leave the same day, ready to smile and eat normally again.
How does the comfort of the digital scan compare to traditional impressions for local patients?
Patients from McLean to Fairfax often comment on the comfort of our digital scanning process. Unlike traditional impressions that require trays filled with putty, CEREC uses a small wand to capture precise images of your teeth. This is faster, cleaner, and far more comfortable, especially for those with a sensitive gag reflex. The process is so smooth that even patients who have avoided dental work in the past due to discomfort find it surprisingly easy.
