What Is a Same-Day CEREC Crown?

CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is a cutting-edge system that allows us to digitally design, craft, and place a ceramic crown during one visit—right here in our Reno office.

Traditionally, getting a crown meant two or more visits, a temporary crown, and weeks of waiting. With CEREC, we skip the lab and produce your permanent crown on-site while you relax.

When Do You Need a Dental Crown?

A crown may be needed to:

• Restore a cracked or fractured tooth
• Protect a tooth after a root canal
• Replace a large or failing filling
• Cover a worn-down or weak tooth
• Restore a dental implant
• Improve tooth appearance or shape

We use strong, tooth-colored ceramic to ensure your crown looks and functions like your natural tooth.

How the CEREC Crown Process Works

At Blue Water Dental Care, our same-day crown process is efficient and comfortable:

1. Digital Scan – We take precise 3D images of your tooth (no impressions needed).
2. Crown Design – Using CAD software, your custom crown is digitally shaped to fit your bite.
3. In-Office Milling – We mill your crown from a solid ceramic block while you wait.
4. Placement & Polishing – The crown is bonded, adjusted, and polished—all in the same visit.

You’ll leave with a fully restored, permanent crown—no follow-up appointment required.

Restore and Protect Your Smile

Crowns aren’t just cosmetic—they’re functional and protective. A properly placed crown can:

• Prevent further cracking or decay
• Restore chewing function
• Strengthen weakened enamel
• Extend the life of your natural tooth
• Enhance the shape or appearance of a visible tooth

Need to replace an old or failing crown? We can do that in one visit too.
