CEREC Crowns at Pure Care Dentists Hoofddorp

Do you have a damaged or weakened tooth and want it restored quickly and durably? With a CEREC crown, this can often be done in just one appointment. Thanks to advanced digital technology, we create a ceramic crown that perfectly fits your smile without messy impressions and without multiple visits.

What is a CEREC crown?

A CEREC crown is a dental restoration that restores the original shape and function of a damaged tooth.

  • CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics.
  • Using a digital scanner, 3D design software, and a milling machine, the crown is created directly in the dental clinic.
  • The crown is made from biocompatible ceramic and contains no metal.


This makes it highly suitable for biological dentistry, which focuses on using natural, tissue-friendly, and durable materials to protect both oral and overall health.

When is a CEREC crown needed?

A crown is recommended when a tooth is too weak to be restored with a filling. A CEREC crown is often placed in cases such as:

  • Teeth with large or multiple fillings that are no longer strong enough.
  • Severely damaged or broken teeth.
  • After a root canal treatment to protect the tooth from fracture.
  • Teeth weakened by wear or erosion.
  • Aesthetic improvements, such as discolored or misshaped teeth.

How does the CEREC treatment work?

The CEREC system makes it possible to place a crown in just one visit:

  1. Preparation – the tooth is shaped to make room for the crown.
  2. Digital scan – your teeth are scanned with a 3D camera (no messy impressions needed).
  3. Design – the crown is digitally designed to match your bite, shape, and tooth color.
  4. Production – the crown is milled on-site from a strong ceramic block.
  5. Placement – after polishing, the crown is permanently bonded. You leave the clinic the same day with a durable restoration.

Does getting a CEREC crown hurt?

The procedure is done under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the treatment.

  • Afterward, the tooth may feel slightly sensitive for a few days.
  • There is no need for a temporary crown that could come loose or cause discomfort.

What are the advantages of a CEREC crown?

  • Fast: completed in one appointment.
  • Comfortable: no messy impressions and no temporary crown.
  • Biocompatible: metal-free ceramic, safe for the body.
  • Natural look: tooth-colored crown blends seamlessly with your own teeth.
  • Durable: much stronger and longer-lasting than a filling, protecting the tooth more effectively.
  • Precision: digital design ensures a perfect fit.

What does a CEREC crown cost?

The cost of a CEREC crown depends on:

  • The size of the restoration.
  • The type of ceramic used.
  • Your dental insurance coverage.

In the Netherlands, fees are determined by the Dutch Healthcare Authority (NZa). We are happy to provide a personal cost estimate.
