Same-Day CEREC Dental Crowns
Walk In With a Damaged Tooth. Walk Out With a Perfect Crown. All in One Visit.
Revolutionary Single-Visit Crown Technology in Aloha & Beaverton
At Aloha Modern Dentistry, we've eliminated the traditional two-week waiting period for dental crowns. Using advanced CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) technology, Dr. Ostovar creates, customizes, and permanently places your crown in a single appointment - typically completed in just 2-3 hours.
For patients throughout Aloha, Cedar Hills, Tigard, and greater Washington County, this means no messy impressions, no uncomfortable temporary crowns, no second visit, and no disruption to your daily routine. You arrive with a compromised tooth and leave with a fully restored, beautiful smile - all in one convenient appointment at our Beaverton office.
What Makes CEREC Same-Day Crowns Different?
Traditional crown procedures require multiple visits, temporary crowns that can break or fall off, uncomfortable impression materials, and weeks of waiting for an outside laboratory to fabricate your restoration. CEREC technology transforms this outdated process into a streamlined, comfortable, single-visit experience.
Our in-house CEREC system combines precision digital imaging, advanced computer-aided design (CAD), and sophisticated milling technology to create crowns that match or exceed the quality of traditional lab-made restorations - but in a fraction of the time.
⚙️The Advanced CEREC Process
- Digital Precision Scanning: We capture a detailed 3D digital impression of your tooth using an intraoral scanner - completely eliminating the need for messy, uncomfortable impression materials. This digital model is more accurate than traditional impressions and provides an exact blueprint for your crown.
- Custom CAD Design: Using sophisticated software, Dr. Ostovar designs your crown with microscopic precision, ensuring perfect fit, proper bite alignment, and natural aesthetics. You can watch the design process on our screen and provide input on the final appearance.
- In-Office Milling: Our state-of-the-art milling unit carves your custom crown from a solid block of premium dental ceramic in approximately 15-20 minutes. This produces a restoration that's actually stronger than traditional layered crowns.
- Artistic Characterization: Dr. Ostovar personally stains and glazes your crown to match the exact color, translucency, and surface characteristics of your natural teeth, ensuring seamless integration with your smile.
- Permanent Bonding: Using advanced bonding protocols, your crown is securely and permanently attached to your prepared tooth. You leave with a complete, functional restoration - no temporary crown required.
Premium Materials for Exceptional Results
At Aloha Modern Dentistry, we exclusively use high-performance ceramic materials designed specifically for CEREC technology. Our primary materials include IPS e.max (lithium disilicate) ceramics, which offer exceptional strength, durability, and aesthetics.
The Science Behind Superior Strength
IPS e.max ceramic blocks represent the pinnacle of dental material science, offering properties that surpass traditional crown materials:
Comprehensive Benefits of Same-Day Crowns
Ultimate Convenience
Complete your entire crown procedure in one 2-3 hour appointment. No time off work for a second visit, no juggling your schedule, no waiting weeks for results. Perfect for busy professionals throughout Aloha and Beaverton.
Superior Precision
Digital impressions and CAD design eliminate human error and material distortion common with traditional impressions. Your crown fits with microscopic accuracy, reducing sensitivity and ensuring long-term success.
Enhanced Comfort
No gagging on impression materials. No fragile temporary crowns that break, come loose, or cause sensitivity. No second round of anesthesia. The entire experience is dramatically more comfortable than traditional crown procedures.
Natural Aesthetics
Our premium ceramic materials mimic natural tooth enamel in translucency, color, and light reflection. With expert characterization by Dr. Ostovar, your crown becomes virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
Exceptional Durability
Milled from solid ceramic blocks rather than layered materials, CEREC crowns are incredibly strong and resistant to fracture. With proper care, they routinely last 15-20 years or more.
Biocompatible Materials
Our ceramic materials are completely metal-free, hypoallergenic, and highly biocompatible. They don't conduct temperature extremes and won't cause the dark gum lines sometimes seen with older crown types.
Common Situations Requiring Crowns
Dr. Ostovar recommends dental crowns for a variety of restorative and cosmetic situations:
- Teeth weakened by large fillings that occupy more than 50% of the tooth structure
- Cracked or fractured teeth requiring stabilization and protection
- Root canal-treated teeth that need structural reinforcement
- Severely worn teeth from grinding (bruxism) or acid erosion
- Cosmetic enhancement of misshapen, discolored, or poorly positioned teeth
- Replacement of old, failing crowns or outdated metal restorations
- Restoration of dental implants (abutment crown)
- Anchor teeth for dental bridges

What to Expect During Your Same-Day Crown Appointment
Your comfort and understanding are priorities at Aloha Modern Dentistry. Here's what you can expect during your CEREC crown appointment:
Before Your Appointment
If you're experiencing dental pain or have a dental emergency, call us immediately at (503) 922-1166. For planned crown procedures, we'll schedule a comprehensive examination to assess your tooth, discuss treatment options, verify insurance benefits, and answer all your questions.
During Your Visit (2-3 Hours)
After administering gentle anesthesia to ensure your complete comfort, Dr. Ostovar carefully prepares your tooth, removing any decay and shaping it to receive the crown. We then take a quick digital scan - a painless process that takes just minutes. You'll watch as your crown is designed on our computer, providing input on the shape and appearance. While your crown is being milled (approximately 15-20 minutes), you can relax in our comfortable treatment room. Finally, Dr. Ostovar artistically finishes your crown and permanently bonds it to your tooth.
After Your Appointment
You can return to normal activities immediately - no dietary restrictions with temporary crowns to worry about. Your permanent crown is fully functional from the moment you leave our office. Some sensitivity is normal for a few days as your tooth adjusts. We'll schedule a brief follow-up to ensure perfect comfort and function.
Care and Longevity of CEREC Crowns
With proper care, your CEREC crown should serve you well for 15-20 years or longer. Follow these guidelines to maximize your crown's lifespan:
- Maintain excellent oral hygiene with brushing twice daily and daily flossing
- Attend regular dental cleanings and examinations every six months
- Avoid using your crowned tooth as a tool (opening packages, biting nails, etc.)
- If you grind your teeth at night, wear a custom night guard to protect your restoration
- Be mindful when eating extremely hard foods like ice, hard candies, or unpopped popcorn kernels
- Contact us immediately if your crown feels loose, high, or uncomfortable

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the CEREC crown procedure painful?
No. We use effective local anesthesia to ensure you're completely comfortable throughout the procedure. Most patients report that getting a CEREC crown is no more uncomfortable than having a standard filling placed. Since there's no temporary crown and no second appointment, many patients find CEREC actually more comfortable than traditional crown procedures.
How long will my CEREC crown last?
With proper care and maintenance, CEREC crowns typically last 15-20 years or longer. The solid ceramic construction and precision fit often result in longevity that matches or exceeds traditional lab-made crowns. Regular dental checkups and good home care are essential for maximizing your crown's lifespan.
Can you tell the difference between a CEREC crown and a natural tooth?
When properly designed and characterized, CEREC crowns are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. Dr. Ostovar carefully matches the color, translucency, and surface texture to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth.
