What are Same-Day Crowns with CEREC?

CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is advanced dental technology that allows us to design, mill, and place a ceramic crown in a single appointment.

Traditionally, crowns require multiple visits, temporary restorations, and weeks of waiting for a dental lab. With CEREC, we use digital 3D scanning and in-house milling to create a durable, natural-looking crown right here in our office so you can leave with your permanent restoration the same day.

OUR PATIENT SAME-DAY TRANSFORMATION

A Life-Changing Day for One of Our Patients

When this patient first came to Legacy Dental Pasadena, he felt embarrassed to smile and had been living for years with missing and broken teeth. He told us he wanted to feel comfortable talking and laughing again, but he didn’t think it could happen in just one day.
‍
Our team guided him through every step, using advanced digital planning and implant technology to restore his full smile in a single visit. Before he left our office, he looked in the mirror with tears in his eyes, seeing a confident, complete smile for the first time in years.
‍
Now, he smiles freely again. “I can finally eat, laugh, and talk without hiding my mouth,” he shared. Moments like this are why we do what we do, helping our patients rediscover confidence through compassionate, same-day transformations.

DECADES OF Trust, TOLD BY OUR Patients

"I recently started my Invisalign treatment and honestly, the service I received was above my expectations. Dr. Sean used a 3D scanner to give me a detailed look at my teeth, which made everything so clear. Trustworthy and effective. He’s not just a dentist; he’s truly passionate about his work. His approach made me feel comfortable and confident in my treatment decision. Extremely grateful for the care I received"

Jennifer L.

"After getting my cleaning and exams, I can't say enough good things. The staff was welcoming and accommodating, which really helped me relax. I had internal bleaching done for my root canal treated tooth, and the results were nothing short of amazing. Dr. Sunyoto’s professionalism stood out to me. It truly was a painless experience. I left with a brighter smile and more confidence. Strongly recommend stopping by!"

"By far the best experience at a Dentist I have ever had. I am a new patient and both my cleaning and fillings were painless which is just a testimony of how gentle and caring they are. Everybody is so nice, listening, helping and taking into account my questions. Making appointments, finding parking is also super easy. Wait am I actually liking going to the dentist now?! I may."

Benoit O.

"I went in for wisdom teeth pain that I should’ve had extracted over 15 years ago. I was nervous having them extracted as I’m over 30 and I’ve heard all the stories. Dr. Sean and his staff made me feel very comfortable and the entire process was actually and honestly a breeze. He was able to remove three teeth in an hour and the days following had very minimal pain and swelling. Thank you, Dr. Sean and staff, you have a new patient as long as I live in Pasadena"
