woman with same day crowns by cerec portland orDental crowns are one of the most important restorations we offer. A crown can save a broken or decayed tooth by holding it together & protecting it from further damage. It can also serve as a beautiful replacement for an unsightly tooth.

A crown, also called a cap, is a good way to cover teeth that are discolored or badly shaped as well, or to cover a dental implant. A crown can make your tooth stronger & improve its appearance.

A crown acts the same way as a tooth, so after your crowns are placed, you should treat it the same way as well. Continue to brush & floss regularly & see your dentist for regular checkups!

What Are Dental Crowns By CEREC®?

In dentistry, a crown or a cap is a fake tooth that fits on top of a damaged tooth. They are custom-made to fit your smile & are built to last. There are a number of conditions that rely on crowns to save your teeth. You may even need a crown after undergoing certain dental treatments. A root canal or large filling can weaken an affected tooth & make it very vulnerable to cracking or breaking, so a crown is needed for protection. Crowns can also be used as a cosmetic treatment to improve the look of a misshapen or discolored tooth.

Same-Day Crowns with In-Office CEREC & Primemill 3D Technology

At Mountainside Family Dentistry, we have eliminated the weeks of waiting, uncomfortable temporary crowns & messy impression trays of traditional crown treatments. Using cutting-edge digital dentistry, we design, mill & permanently place your custom ceramic crown right here in our office in a single appointment:

  • No Gooey Putty Impressions: Our Primescan digital scanner takes a precise, optical 3D model of your mouth in seconds—no gagging or sticky impression material.
  • Zero Temporary Crowns: Because your permanent crown is milled right in our office while you relax, you never have to worry about a fragile temporary crown breaking or falling off over the weekend.
  • Single-Visit Numbing: No need to take multiple days off work or get numbed twice. Your tooth is prepared, custom-designed, milled & permanently bonded in one trip.
  • High-Strength, Natural Aesthetics: Milled from solid biocompatible ceramic blocks with our high-precision Primemill, your crown is color-matched to seamlessly blend with your surrounding smile.

Procedure Overview

Step 1: Gentle Preparation

  • Before the dentist can prepare your tooth for a crown, the tooth is gently shaped & cleared of any decay under comfortable local anesthesia.

Step 2: Optical 3D Digital Scan

  • Once your tooth has been prepared, we will take an impression (mold) of your teeth. In seconds, our handheld 3D Primescan camera captures high-definition digital impressions of your teeth.

Step 3: In-Office 3D Milling

  • While you relax or browse your phone, our in-office Primemill robotic milling unit precisely crafts your custom crown from a high-strength ceramic block.

Step 4: Same-Day Permanent Polish & Placement

  • Dr. Anthony or your doctor checks the fit, verifies your bite, polishes the restoration, and permanently bonds the crown to your tooth. You walk out with a fully restored tooth!

Dental crowns need to be treated with the same care as regular teeth. While the crown itself can’t decay, the tooth underneath it can. Regular brushing & flossing is essential to maximizing your crown’s lifespan. If properly cared for, a typical crown can last anywhere from 10 to 50 years!

Getting a dental crown doesn’t have to be difficult. Let us show you how the CEREC system can restore your smile in just one visit.
