Same-Day Dentistry in Georgetown & North Austin: CEREC® and Sirona Technology in One Visit

Same-Day Dentistry in Georgetown & North Austin: CEREC® and Sirona Technology in One Visit

When a tooth breaks, a crown falls off, or you are told you need a major restoration, the last thing you want to hear is, “We’ll see you again in three weeks when your crown comes back from the lab.”

At Hammons Family Dental, our goal is to keep that from happening. As a trusted Georgetown, TX dentist and North Austin, TX dentist, we’ve invested in advanced CEREC® digital imaging, in-office milling technology, and the Sirona Suite of Technology so you can get strong, natural-looking restorations in a single visit—often in just a couple of hours.

To learn more about how we use this technology every day, visit our dedicated Same Day Crowns page.


What Is Same-Day Dentistry with CEREC®?

Traditional crowns and many larger restorations often require:

  • Goopy impressions
  • A temporary crown
  • A 2–3 week wait for a dental lab
  • A second visit for final placement

CEREC® changes that. Using advanced CAD/CAM digital imaging and a chairside milling unit, your dentist can scan, design, mill, and place a custom ceramic restoration in one appointment.

Instead of sending your case to an off-site lab, your crown, inlay, onlay, or veneer is designed and crafted in our office while you relax. It is a modern solution that busy patients in Georgetown, TX and North Austin really appreciate.


The Sirona Suite of Technology Behind Your Same-Day Smile

Our CEREC® workflows are powered by the Sirona family of digital tools that work together as a streamlined system:

  • Digital intraoral scanner – A 3D scanner captures ultra-precise images of your teeth in seconds, replacing messy traditional impressions and improving accuracy.
  • CEREC® design software – Using your 3D scan, we design your crown or restoration chairside, customizing the shape, fit, and bite to match your natural teeth.
  • In-office milling unit – A Sirona milling machine carves your restoration out of a high-strength ceramic block with high precision, often in minutes.

This integrated Sirona Suite of Technology means fewer delays, fewer remakes, and a smoother experience whether you are visiting us from neighborhoods near our North Austin office or communities around our new Georgetown, TX location.


What a Same-Day Crown Visit Looks Like

Whether you come to our new Georgetown, TX office at 1502 Blue Ridge Dr., Ste. 101 or our established North Austin office on Research Blvd. at 10740 Research Blvd., Ste. 125, your same-day dentistry experience follows a predictable, patient-focused path:

  1. Consultation & Exam
    We evaluate the tooth, review digital X-rays, and discuss your options. If a crown or similar restoration is needed, we can often proceed the same day.
  2. Comfortable Tooth Preparation
    The tooth is gently reshaped and prepared for a crown or restoration. We emphasize comfort with careful anesthetic techniques and, when appropriate, sedation options.
  3. Digital Scan Instead of Impressions
    A handheld digital scanner captures a detailed 3D image of your teeth—no trays, no impression material, no gagging. The scan is instantly sent to our CEREC® design software.
  4. On-Screen 3D Design
    Your restoration is designed chairside with careful attention to your bite, function, and aesthetics. You can even see the proposed shape of your new tooth on-screen before it is made.
  5. In-Office Milling
    The final design is transmitted to our in-office milling unit, which carves your custom restoration out of high-quality ceramic. This step typically takes just minutes.
  6. Try-In, Adjustments, and Bonding
    We check the fit, make any fine-tuning adjustments, then permanently bond the crown or restoration in place. You leave with your final result—not a temporary crown.

Why Georgetown & North Austin Patients Love Same-Day Dentistry

For many patients searching for a Georgetown, TX dentist or a North Austin, TX dentist, convenience is important—but never at the expense of quality. CEREC® same-day dentistry backed by Sirona technology helps us deliver both:

  • One Visit, One Injection
    No need to numb the same tooth twice or schedule multiple appointments around work and family.

    CEREC® restorations are crafted from advanced ceramic materials designed for durability and a natural appearance.
  • Digital Precision for a Better Fit
