Same-Day Crowns: A Fast & Convenient Solution for a Healthy Smile

If you have a chipped, cracked, or severely worn tooth, waiting weeks for a traditional crown isn’t always practical. Same-day crowns offer a faster, more efficient way to restore your smile without multiple appointments or temporary crowns. Using advanced CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design & Manufacturing) technology, we can design, create, and place your new crown in just one visit which saves you time while ensuring a perfect, natural-looking result.  

What Are Same-Day Crowns?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its function and appearance. Traditional crowns require multiple appointments, temporary restorations, and a waiting period while a dental lab fabricates your final crown. Same-day crowns eliminate this delay by using state-of-the-art digital technology to create and fit your crown in a single visit.

The Benefits of Same-Day Crowns

  • One Visit, Instant Results No need for multiple appointments or waiting weeks for a lab-made crown-everything is completed in one visit.
  • No Messy Impressions Traditional crowns require gooey, uncomfortable moulds. Same-day crowns use digital scanning for a more precise and comfortable fit.
  • No Temporary Crowns Temporary crowns can feel uncomfortable and are prone to damage. With same-day crowns, you leave with a permanent restoration immediately.
  • Strong, Natural-Looking Results Made from high-quality ceramic, these crowns are durable, stain-resistant, and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
  • Minimally Invasive & Tooth-Preserving Digital scanning and milling allow for a precise fit, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.

Who Can Benefit from a Same-Day Crown?

You may be a candidate for a same-day crown if you have:
  • Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
  • A tooth with severe decay
  • A weakened tooth needing extra protection
  • An old or worn-out crown that needs replacement

How Does the Same-Day Crown Process Work?

1️⃣ Digital Scan – We use advanced digital technology to scan your tooth, creating an accurate 3D model.
2️⃣ Crown Design & Milling – Using the 3D model, we design your crown and mill it from high-quality ceramic right in our office.
3️⃣ Fitting & Bonding – Once the crown is ready, we securely bond it to your tooth-ensuring a perfect fit and natural look.

Are Same-Day Crowns Durable?

Yes, same-day crowns are highly durable and designed to withstand the daily stresses of chewing, biting, and speaking. These crowns are made from high-quality materials like ceramic or porcelain that mimic the natural strength and appearance of your teeth. However, the overall durability can depend on several factors, including the material used, the care you provide, and your individual habits.

Caring for Your Same-Day Crown

To keep your new crown in top condition: ✔️ Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste
✔️ Floss daily to prevent plaque buildup
✔️ Avoid chewing on hard foods like ice or nuts
✔️ Visit your dentist for regular check-ups

Is a Same-Day Crown Right for You?

Same-day crowns are an excellent solution for most patients. However, some cases, such as those requiring complex bite adjustments or very large restorations, may still benefit from a traditional crown. Your dentist will assess your needs and recommend the best option for you.
