Modern Dental Crown Technology in Reno
At our practice, we value your time and strive to make each visit to our office as efficient and convenient as possible. Now when you visit The Reno Dentist for a dental crown or dental bridge procedure, you can take advantage of our CEREC crown technology right here in Reno.
What is CEREC?
CEREC is a technological innovation that allows us to create beautiful porcelain crowns right here in our office near Spanish Springs and Sparks, NV. The CEREC machine uses a computer and special software, combined with a milling machine to craft crowns based on each patient’s specifications. Without CEREC technology, your dental crown would have to be crafted in a dental laboratory, and a temporary crown would have to be placed. Using CEREC, patients can have their crown complete in one appointment, and won’t have to wear a temporary crown at all.
The CEREC Dental Crown Process
The Benefits of CEREC Same Day Porcelain Crowns
- CEREC Same Day Porcelain Crowns can be created in only one appointment.
- CEREC utilizes the latest technology to create beautiful, perfect crown restorations.
- Our CEREC technology creates crowns using only the highest quality porcelain materials.
- CEREC technology allows our procedures to be more efficient, and allows us to save our patients more time.
When you need a crown placed, we can take a mold of your teeth and enter the data for your crown into our CEREC system. While we continue your regular appointment, the CEREC machine will work, crafting a porcelain crown using the highest quality materials that will fit your needs perfectly. By the time your teeth are prepared for crown placement, your crown will be finished, and you will be able to walk out of our office with a permanent crown after only one treatment.
Caring for Your CEREC Porcelain Dental Crowns
A newly crowned tooth may be sensitive for a few days following your crown placement. Try to avoid chewy, sticky, or hard to chew foods. Continue brushing your teeth twice and flossing once daily. Fluoride mouthwash can also be helpful for teeth cleaning and a sensitivity toothpaste can help with hot and cold sensitivity. Otherwise, it’s recommended that you exercise good dental hygiene as normal and continue to keep up with regular cleanings and exams.

Frequently Asked Questions
What problems can CEREC crowns treat?
CEREC crowns can restore teeth that have severe decay, cracks, fractures, or large fillings. Dentists also use them to strengthen weak teeth and improve the appearance of damaged smiles.
Will my CEREC crown match the color of my natural teeth?
Dentists carefully select porcelain materials that match your natural tooth color. This process helps create a restoration that blends seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.
How should I prepare for a CEREC crown appointment?
You should maintain normal oral hygiene before your appointment and inform your dentist about any medications or dental concerns. Your dentist will examine your tooth and confirm that a CEREC crown is the best solution.
How long does a CEREC appointment usually take?
Most CEREC crown appointments take around one to two hours. During this time, the dentist prepares your tooth, scans the area digitally, and places the custom crown after the milling process is finished.
How do I care for a CEREC crown?
You can care for your CEREC crown just like a natural tooth. Brush twice daily, floss regularly, and schedule routine dental checkups to keep the restoration and surrounding teeth healthy.
Can CEREC crowns replace older dental crowns?
