What are same-day crowns?

Same-day crowns are custom-made restorations created and placed in a single visit using advanced CEREC technology. Instead of wearing a temporary crown and waiting weeks for a lab-made one, you leave our office with a durable, natural-looking crown that same day.

How does the same-day crown process work?

We begin with a digital scan of your tooth, design your crown on-screen, and then use in-office milling technology to craft it from high-quality ceramic. Once ready, the crown is bonded in place - usually in less than two hours from start to finish.

Are same-day crowns as strong as traditional crowns?

Yes. Same-day crowns are made from durable ceramic materials comparable to those used in traditional lab-fabricated crowns. With proper care, they provide long-lasting strength, protect your tooth, and restore normal function just like conventional crowns.

What are the benefits of same-day crowns?

The biggest advantages are convenience, comfort, and speed. There’s no need for messy impressions, temporary crowns, or multiple appointments. Same-day crowns look natural, fit precisely, and save you time while still delivering excellent protection and aesthetics.

How do I care for my same-day crown?

Caring for your crown is simple - just brush and floss as you would with natural teeth. Avoid chewing extremely hard foods like ice to prevent damage. With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, your crown can last many years.

What are dental crowns?

Crowns are a type of dental work that cover the entire tooth. They’re important because they keep teeth from breaking or cracking, and can protect teeth that have very large fillings or have already started to crack.

A crown is also made from very sturdy materials, which helps it to hold the walls of your tooth together. It also matches the color of nearby teeth for a natural look, meaning others won’t even know you have one.

Porcelain crowns are a durable, long-lasting way to replace natural teeth. These crowns will last up to 20 years and late replacement is not recommended as it can cause problems with your natural teeth. Porcelain resists stains and damage as well.

Teeth that have been lost due to trauma, cavities, or other dental health problems can be replaced with porcelain crowns. Porcelain crowns are a type of tooth restoration that is typically used to replace a tooth that has been either lost completely or severely damaged from decay. Crowns cover the entire visible portion of the tooth.

  The ladies at this office are truly wonderful. I was a new patient and there was a bit of a wait to get in - but now I understand why. They are kind, empathetic, and answered all my questions and/or concerns with professionalism. Up-to-date tools/technology as well. A well-managed dental office and I highly recommend them.

  This place is the best! My first visit they made me feel so comfortable. They asked me questions about me, trying to get to know me. They explained everything they were doing. And there was a tv on the ceiling to watch while my teeth were getting cleaned!
