What Are CEREC Same Day Crowns

CEREC, which stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, is an advanced dental technology that allows Dr. Marisa Patt and the BOCO Dental team to design, create, and place permanent crowns in a single visit.

Unlike traditional crowns that require messy impressions, temporary restorations, and weeks of waiting for a dental lab, CEREC same-day crowns in Boulder streamline the entire process. Digital scanning captures precise 3D images of your tooth, and an in-office milling unit fabricates your custom ceramic crown within minutes.

By the end of your appointment, you’ll leave with a durable, natural-looking restoration that fits perfectly and restores your smile immediately—no second visit required.

The CEREC® Crown Process

Getting a crown at BOCO Dental & Prosthodontics is a quick, comfortable experience. Using advanced CEREC technology, Dr. Marisa Patt designs, creates, and places your custom crown—all during a single visit at our Boulder office. Here’s what to expect:

Evaluation and Scanning: Your visit begins with a detailed examination to determine if a crown is the right solution. Using a digital intraoral scanner, Dr. Patt captures a precise 3D image of your tooth—no messy impressions required.
Custom Design: With the CEREC software, your crown is digitally designed to match your tooth’s shape, size, and shade for a natural appearance. Every detail is customized to ensure a seamless fit and comfortable bite.
On-Site Milling: Once the design is approved, your crown is milled on-site in about 15 to 20 minutes using durable, tooth-colored ceramic. You can even watch the process as your restoration is crafted right before your eyes.
Placement: Dr. Patt then bonds the crown securely to your tooth, checks your bite alignment, and polishes the surface for a flawless finish. You’ll leave the same day with a strong, beautiful, fully restored smile.

CEREC® Same-Day Crowns Aftercare

After receiving your CEREC same-day crown at BOCO Dental & Prosthodontics in Boulder, caring for it is simple. Treat it as you would a natural tooth—brush twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush, floss carefully around the crown, and schedule regular dental checkups to monitor its condition.

Although your new crown is built from durable ceramic, avoid habits that could cause damage, such as chewing on ice, hard candies, or nutshells.
