CEREC Same-Day Crowns in StevenageOne appointment. No temporaries. No second visit.
Our in-house CEREC Omnicam and milling unit lets Dr Alan design, fabricate and fit a custom porcelain crown in a single 90-minute appointment. No messy impressions, no waiting weeks for the lab, no second visit.
How It Works
Your crown, in a single visit
Digital scan
A handheld camera captures a precise 3D image of your tooth — no gooey impressions.
Design
Dr Alan designs your crown on-screen in CEREC software — shape, fit and contacts, all tailored to your bite.
Milling
A solid block of high-strength ceramic is milled in our in-house unit in around 15 minutes.
Fit & polish
The crown is shade-matched, polished and cemented in place. You leave with a permanent restoration.
Why patients choose CEREC over traditional crowns
One appointment, not two
Traditional crowns need 2–3 visits spread over weeks. CEREC finishes in a single 90-minute visit.
No temporary crown
Traditional crowns use a temporary while the lab makes the permanent — temporaries can loosen or fall off. CEREC skips this entirely.
No messy impressions
Goodbye to the alginate tray. A CEREC scan is a painless 3D image taken with a handheld camera.
100% porcelain
High-strength ceramic, no metal. Aesthetically superior for front and back teeth.
Precise digital fit
CAD/CAM milling is micron-accurate, which typically means less adjustment and a better long-term seal.
Same expert throughout
Dr Alan designs and fits your crown personally. No lab middleman.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a CEREC same-day crown?
CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. It is a CAD/CAM system that lets us design, mill and fit a custom porcelain crown in a single appointment — no impressions, no temporary crown, no second visit. We are the only practice in Stevenage with in-house CEREC technology.
How long does a CEREC appointment take?
A typical CEREC crown appointment takes around 90 minutes from start to finish — including the digital scan, design, milling, and final cementing. You leave with a permanent crown on the same day.
How much does a CEREC crown cost at Bowling Green Dental?
CEREC crowns start from £600. CEREC inlays and onlays (for less extensive damage) start from £550. A written estimate is always provided before treatment.
Are CEREC crowns as good as lab-made crowns?
Yes — in many cases, better. CEREC crowns are milled from a solid block of high-strength ceramic, shade-matched to your natural teeth using digital imaging. They are highly precise, aesthetically excellent, and save you a second appointment.
Who carries out CEREC treatment at Bowling Green Dental?
Dr Alan de Vos has over 15 years of experience with CEREC and is the only dentist in Stevenage offering in-house same-day crowns.
