Boulder Cosmetic Dentists Serving Boulder and Boulder County, CO

Computer-aided restorations (inlays, onlays, veneers and crowns) reduce time in the dental chair. At Boulder Canyon Dental in Boulder, CO, we are proud to offer CEREC® Same-Day Crowns. This service allows patients to receive a dental crown in one visit, using 3D imaging and CAD/CAM technology. The procedure is completed quickly and easily and results in a perfect fit for the patient's teeth. We believe that this service offers many benefits to our patients, including convenience, affordability, and quality. The advantages of this state-of-the art, clinically proven latest advance in cosmetic dentistry are:


  • Less time needed—same day restoration appointments are available!
  • The pure ceramic porcelain used is stronger than normal porcelain which is built in layers, so CEREC® restorations are less likely to ever break, and this lets us provide you with a dental restoration that actually strengthens your tooth.
  • The stronger material allows us to conserve tooth structure. Often a partial coverage restoration (inlay/onlay) can be completed.
  • It allows us to save as much healthy tooth tissue as possible.
  • The porcelain materials we use match the composition of natural tooth structure, and are chemically bonded to your tooth.
  • There is no metal in a CEREC® restoration.
  • They can be custom stained in our office to match your other teeth.
  • Messy impressions can be avoided.


Using a CEREC® computer, we at Boulder Canyon Dental can custom design your restoration in our Boulder, CO office. This eliminates the need to send the restoration to an outside laboratory; which previously required a second appointment many weeks later for our patients to receive the finished product.


There are 5 Steps in the CEREC® Procedure:

  1. We begin by examining your teeth, and decide on the best preparation method. Any decay is then removed, and your teeth are preparing for an impression.
  2. Before an optical impression (picture), the tooth is powder sprayed with a thin layer of blue anti-reflective contrast medium, imaged by a 3D imaging camera and this image is uploaded to the CEREC® computer.
  3. We then digitally design a restoration with the proper shape and contours to give your tooth its appropriate form and function.
  4. This data is transmitted to our computerized milling machine which manufactures the restoration to exactly fit your teeth using the design parameters we have specified. This milling is done using a single pure ceramic block of material.
  5. Finally we color match and glaze your restoration in our porcelain oven to create your beautiful finished product.


The CEREC® “Computer-Assisted Design-Computer-Assisted Manufacturing”, or “CAD-CAM” technology gives our Boulder dental office complete control over all steps in preparing and producing your restoration. This ensures a perfect fit and a life-like match to your real teeth. Being able to offer our cosmetic and restorative dentistry patients same day service is also a nice feature.

  • What are CEREC® Same-Day Crowns and how do they work?

    Same-day crowns are dental crowns that are created using 3D imaging and CAD/CAM technology. This allows the dentist to create a crown that is a perfect fit for the patient's teeth. The procedure is completed in one visit, which means that the patient does not have to go through the hassle of having a temporary crown installed and then returning to have the permanent crown fitted.

The service allows for a fast and convenient option for those who are looking to restore their smile in a timely manner. 3D imaging and CAD/CAM technology create a precise fit for the patient's teeth, which leads to fewer complications and a more comfortable experience.


  • What are the benefits of CEREC® Same-Day Crowns?

    One of the main benefits of CEREC® Same-Day Crowns is that it is a more convenient option for patients.

    Another benefit of CEREC® Same-Day Crowns is that it results in fewer complications.

    Overall, CEREC® Same-Day Crowns is a convenient and effective service that can provide lasting dental care.


  • What should patients expect after getting a CEREC® Same-Day Crown?

    Once a patient has received a CEREC® Same-Day Crown, they should expect to feel some pressure and minor discomfort. The tooth may also be sensitive to hot and cold temperatures. It is important for patients to follow the instructions provided by our dentist in order to ensure that the crown heals correctly.
