Same-Day Dental Crowns
A precision-milled dental crown designed, fabricated, and placed in a single convenient appointment.
What is it
A dental crown that is digitally designed, milled from ceramic, and permanently placed all in a single appointment, eliminating the need for a temporary crown or second visit.
How it works
The tooth is prepared, a digital scan is taken, and in-office milling technology carves the crown from a ceramic block in under an hour, which is then polished and cemented during the same visit.
How it helps
Restores a damaged tooth fully in one appointment, eliminating the need for a temporary crown and saving the patient an additional visit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who might consider this treatment?
Patients who need a crown but have limited availability for multiple visits, or anyone who prefers to complete their restoration in a single appointment.
What is the typical experience?
The tooth is prepared, scanned, and the crown is milled and cemented all in one visit. Most patients walk out with a permanently restored tooth within a couple of hours.
How long does it usually take?
The crown is designed, milled, and cemented all in one appointment that typically lasts about two hours. There is no need for a temporary crown or a second visit.
Is there anything to keep in mind?
Same-day crowns are highly durable, but like any crown, they can chip under extreme biting force. Patients who grind their teeth should mention this so a night guard can be considered to protect the restoration.
What should I know about recovery after?
No recovery is needed. The same-day crown is permanently placed the same visit and patients can eat normally once any anesthesia has worn off, though avoiding very hard foods initially is advised.
