Same Day CEREC Dental Crowns in Elkhorn, NE

Durable, Natural-Looking Crowns in Just One Visit

When a tooth is damaged, cracked, or weakened by decay, a dental crown can restore both its function and appearance. At Mizner Family Dental, we’re proud to offer Same Day CEREC Dental Crowns, allowing patients to receive a fully custom, permanent crown in a single visit — without temporary restorations or multiple appointments.

Using advanced CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) technology, we craft high-quality ceramic crowns right here in our office, so you can get back to smiling, eating, and living without delay.

What Is a CEREC Crown?

CEREC crowns are tooth-colored ceramic restorations designed, milled, and placed all in one appointment. Unlike traditional crowns that require messy impressions, off-site labs, and temporary crowns, CEREC technology uses digital imaging and in-office milling to create precise restorations in hours — not days.

Benefits of CEREC crowns include:

  • One-visit convenience
  • No temporary crown needed
  • No physical impressions — digital scanning only
  • Metal-free, natural-looking material
  • Long-lasting durability with proper care
  • Excellent fit and function

These crowns are ideal for restoring teeth after fractures, large cavities, or root canals, and they blend seamlessly with your natural smile.

When Is a Same Day Crown Needed?

Dr. Brandon Mizner may recommend a Same Day CEREC crown to restore a tooth that is:

  • Severely decayed or weakened
  • Cracked or fractured
  • Worn down from grinding
  • Treated with a root canal
  • Misshapen or cosmetically compromised
  • Fitted with an old or failing crown needing replacement

Crowns not only protect vulnerable teeth but also restore your bite, chewing ability, and overall smile appearance. By offering same-day solutions, we help you avoid weeks of discomfort or inconvenience.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

Here’s how we complete your same-day crown from start to finish in just one visit:

  1. Digital Scan & Prep
    We begin by gently removing damaged portions of the tooth and reshaping it for the crown. Then, we take a digital impression using our intraoral scanner — no goopy trays required.
  2. Custom Design
    Using advanced CEREC software, Dr. Mizner designs your crown chairside, adjusting shape, contour, and color for a precise fit and natural look.
  3. In-Office Milling
    Once the design is approved, your crown is milled from a solid ceramic block right here in our office using our CEREC machine.
  4. Cementation
    After ensuring the crown fits perfectly, we bond it securely to your tooth and polish it for a seamless finish — all in the same visit.

You’ll leave your appointment with a fully restored smile and no need for return visits or temporary solutions.

Advantages Over Traditional Crowns

Compared to traditional lab-fabricated crowns, CEREC crowns offer several key advantages:

  • Time savings – No second appointment needed
  • No temporary crown – Avoids potential discomfort or dislodging
  • Digital accuracy – More precise fit from 3D imaging
  • Natural aesthetics – Ceramic blends beautifully with your natural enamel
  • Less sensitivity – Reduced time between prep and placement lowers risk of post-op issues

CEREC technology is an ideal fit for busy professionals, parents, or anyone looking for efficient, high-quality dental care without cutting corners.

Caring for Your New Crown

Like natural teeth, your CEREC crown will need regular care and maintenance:

  • Brush twice daily with a soft toothbrush
  • Floss gently around the crown
  • Avoid chewing ice or very hard foods
  • Visit us for regular cleanings and exams to monitor your crown
  • Wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth

With good care, CEREC crowns can last 10–15 years or more.

Are CEREC crowns as strong as traditional crowns?

Yes. CEREC crowns are milled from durable ceramic materials that match the strength and longevity of traditional lab-made crowns.

How long does the entire appointment take?

The full visit usually takes about two hours, depending on the complexity of your case. You’ll leave with a permanent crown — no follow-up required.

Do CEREC crowns look natural?

Absolutely. The ceramic used in CEREC crowns closely mimics natural tooth enamel and is color-matched to your surrounding teeth for a seamless finish.

Is the procedure painful?

Most molars and premolars are great candidates. Dr. Mizner will determine if a CEREC crown is appropriate based on your tooth structure, bite, and location.
