Same Day Crowns offer a modern solution for restoring your smile in just one appointment. Unlike traditional crowns that require multiple visits for measurements and molds, advancements in dental technology now allow us to design, create, and place your crown in a single visit. When a custom crown needs to be crafted at an outside lab, patients can be forced to wait several weeks to receive their restoration.
We know that finding time for dental appointments can be challenging. That’s why, with cutting-edge CEREC® technology, we provide a fast, efficient solution to restore both the appearance of your smile and the function of your bite—all in just one convenient visit.
WHAT ARE SAME DAY CROWNS?
Same Day Crown technology, also known as CEREC® (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic), is a breakthrough in dentistry that uses computer aided design (CAD) technology to create an image of the tooth, and then uses this image to craft a crown at the dental practice rather than at an outside lab.
This means patients no longer have to wait weeks for a permanent crown or deal with temporary restorations. With CEREC®, the entire process—from digital impressions to milling and placement—happens in just one visit, providing a precise, custom-fit crown made from durable, natural-looking ceramic. Not only does this technology save time, but it also enhances comfort by eliminating the need for traditional molds and reducing the number of anesthetic injections required.
HOW DO SAME DAY CROWNS WORK?
Getting a same-day crown is a quick, multi-step process completed in just a few hours. During your appointment, we’ll take a digital scan of your tooth using advanced CAD technology. Your custom crown is then crafted from durable, tooth-colored ceramic to match your natural enamel.
Within minutes, Dr. Armstrong will have your custom restoration ready for placement. After preparing the tooth by removing minimal structure, he will securely bond the crown using strong dental adhesives, ensuring a perfect fit. Any necessary adjustments will be made to optimize your bite.
With this advanced technology, you’ll leave our office the same day with a secure, natural-looking crown—no temporary crown, no two-week wait.
BENEFITS OF SAME DAY CROWNS OVER TRADITIONAL CROWNS
In addition to the fact that they are much faster, more convenient, and more cost-effective, there are also so many benefits of same-day crowns compared to traditional crowns.
They are designed to look just like your real teeth. We’ll use our digital scanner to replicate the precise color and shape of your teeth for your crown. That means once it’s fitted, your crown will not only be super comfortable but also undetectable from the rest.
With same-day crowns, there is no need for dental putty. We’ve noticed that one of the things our patients enjoy the least is the dental putty used to take a mould for traditional crowns. The great news is that with same-day crowns there is no need for this putty as all the measurements are done with state-of-the-art high-tech equipment.
With same-day crowns, you don’t need a temporary crown fitted. No need to wear a poorly matched temporary crown for weeks and your tooth will have maximum protection right away.
Improved comfort. Due to the enhanced imaging provided by same-day crown technology a more natural and comfortable fit can be achieved.
Same-day crowns are more cost-effective than traditional crowns. While you might expect same-day crowns to be more expensive than the traditional variety. This is not the case. Indeed, because they only require a single appointment for measurement, crafting and fitting, same-day crowns can be more cost-efficient than traditional ones.
