Restore Your Smile in a Single Visit with Same-day Crowns
At Mint Dental, we understand that it can be difficult for patients to find time for dental appointments during their busy schedules. Thanks to this state-of-the-art CEREC® technology, we can restore the beauty of your smile and the balance of your bite in one convenient visit. Schedule your same-day crown appointment today.
Same-day crowns are custom dental restorations designed, crafted, and placed in a single visit. Using advanced CEREC® technology, we can restore the beauty of your smile and the balance of your bite—all without the wait of an outside dental lab.
The process takes just a few hours. Dr. Damien Armstrong begins by using 3D imaging technology to capture detailed impressions of your tooth. These digital scans are sent directly to our in-office CEREC® milling machine, which crafts your custom crown from durable, tooth-colored ceramic.
Once your restoration is ready, we’ll prepare your tooth by removing a minimal amount of enamel and then bond the new crown securely in place. After a quick bite check and any final adjustments, you’ll leave our office with a strong, natural-looking smile—all in one visit.
Same-day crowns offer all the strength and beauty of traditional crowns without the wait. Benefits include:
Completed in one convenient visit—no temporary crowns or second appointments
Precise digital fit using 3D scanning
Durable, lifelike materials matched to your natural enamel
Comfortable, efficient experience for busy schedules
Yes. Our CEREC® crowns are made from high-quality dental-grade ceramic that’s both durable and esthetic. When bonded correctly, they provide long-lasting protection and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
With proper care, your crown can last 10–15 years or more. Regular checkups, good oral hygiene, and avoiding habits like nail biting or chewing ice will help extend its lifespan.
Absolutely. Each crown is custom-crafted to match the exact color, shape, and contour of your surrounding teeth. Once placed, your restoration will look and feel just like a natural tooth.

A damaged tooth can detract from your smile and diminish your confidence. Dental crowns have helped millions of patients repair the look and function of a damaged tooth. However, when a custom crown needs to be crafted at an outside lab, patients can be forced to wait several weeks to receive their restoration. At River City Dentistry, we offer beautiful same-day crowns fabricated in-office at our Chattanooga, TN, practice. Thanks to advanced technology, Dr. Damien Armstrong can repair your damaged tooth and restore your smile in a single visit. If you are in need of a same-day crown, contact our office today to schedule an appointment.
Creating your same-day crown is a multi-step process that is typically completed in a few hours. First, the doctor will use 3D imaging technology to take detailed impressions of your tooth, which are sent to the CEREC® machine. Your custom restoration is crafted to the exact dimensions of your tooth, using durable dental-grade ceramic that will be matched to the shade of your natural enamel. After only a few minutes, Dr. Armstrong will have a brand new, custom-crafted restoration that is ready to be placed. Next, the doctor will prepare your damaged tooth for crowning by removing a minimal amount of natural tooth structure. Using strong dental adhesives, he will bond your new restoration securely in place. Dr. Armstrong will check your bite and make any adjustments, if necessary. After placement, you will leave our office with a beautiful new restoration that blends indistinguishably with your surrounding teeth.
