Same-Day Crown

What is a Same-Day Crown? (Your Permanent Crown in a Single Visit)

Imagine needing a dental crown and getting the entire process—from preparation to the final, permanent placement—done in just one appointment. No messy impressions, no fragile temporary crown, and no need to schedule a second day off work.

This isn’t a futuristic dream; it’s the reality of the Same-Day Crown.

Using advanced in-office CAD/CAM technology (like CEREC), we have completely revolutionized the traditional crown procedure. For busy parents, dedicated professionals, or anyone who values efficiency and modern comfort, the single-visit crown is the ultimate solution.

The 5 Big Advantages of a Same-Day Crown

Compared to the old two-visit process, the benefits of getting your crown in a single appointment are immense.

1. Your Time is Valuable. This is the number one advantage. We handle everything in a single, efficient visit that takes a couple of hours. You walk in with a damaged tooth and walk out with your final, permanent crown.
2. Goodbye, Goopy Impressions. The process starts with a clean, quick, and comfortable digital scan of your tooth using a small wand.
3. No More "Temps". You get to skip the entire two-to-three-week phase of wearing a temporary crown. This means no worries about it feeling weird, falling off, or having to restrict your diet.
4. A Perfect, Digital Fit. The seamless digital workflow, from the 3D scan to the computer-aided design to the in-office milling, results in a crown with microscopic precision and a flawless fit.
5. Beautiful, Metal-Free Results. We use the same high-quality, durable, and aesthetic ceramic materials (like e.max and Zirconia) that the best dental labs use. Your crown will be strong and beautiful.

How is a Single-Visit Crown Possible?

We follow a simple, streamlined process right here in our office:

1. Scan & Design: After preparing your tooth, we take a 3D digital scan. On a screen right in front of you, we use that scan to design your custom crown, perfecting its shape and bite.
2. In-Office Milling: We send the final design to our on-site milling unit. You can watch as this robotic sculptor carves your exact crown from a solid block of tooth-colored ceramic.
3. Final Placement: Once the crown is milled, we add custom staining and glazing, polish it to perfection, and permanently bond it to your tooth. That’s it. You’re done.

Here's what we want you to remember:

A same-day crown leverages advanced CAD/CAM technology to deliver your permanent, custom-fit crown in one appointment. It's the ultimate combination of convenience and quality, eliminating the need for uncomfortable impressions and fragile temporary crowns.

Every patient's situation is unique.

While same-day crowns are an amazing and ideal solution for the vast majority of cases, we always assess your specific clinical needs. We'll help you decide if a single-visit crown or a lab-fabricated crown is the best path to your perfect, long-lasting result.
