Skip the Hassle, Keep Your Smile
You've got a damaged tooth and need a crown. The thought of multiple appointments, temporary crowns, and weeks of waiting probably isn't thrilling. What if you could get a permanent, high-quality crown in a single visit—often in just an hour or two?
That's exactly what same day crowns offer.
How Same Day Crowns Work
Traditional crowns require multiple visits. First, your dentist prepares the tooth, takes impressions with dental putty, fits you with a temporary crown, sends the impressions to a lab, and then brings you back weeks later to cement the permanent crown.
Same day crowns use advanced digital technology to streamline the entire process:
- Digital scanning captures precise images of your tooth—no messy putty required
- Computer-aided design creates a crown that matches your bite and tooth contours exactly
- In-office milling crafts your permanent crown from a solid block of high-quality zirconia
- Same-visit placement means you leave with your permanent crown in place
The whole process typically takes one to two hours, and you're done.
Why Choose Same Day Crowns?
No Temporary Crowns
With traditional crowns, you're stuck wearing a temporary for weeks while the lab makes your permanent one. Temporaries don't fit perfectly, they're not designed to look natural, and they can be uncomfortable or even come loose. Same day crowns let you skip temporaries entirely—you walk out with the crown you'll keep.
Save Valuable Time
Instead of scheduling multiple appointments over several weeks, you complete the entire process in one visit. For busy families, professionals, or anyone who'd rather not spend extra time in the dental chair, this is a game-changer.
High-Quality BruxZir® Zirconia
Same day crowns aren't temporary solutions—they're permanent restorations made from premium materials. We use BruxZir® zirconia, a metal-free material that's incredibly strong and biocompatible. Zirconia won't irritate your gums, and it shares many properties with natural tooth enamel, making it an ideal choice for long-term comfort and function.
Precision Fit
Digital scanning and milling technology ensures your crown fits perfectly on the first try. The system accounts for your unique bite pattern and every contour of your tooth. If any minor adjustment is needed, we can make it immediately—no waiting, no second appointment.
Better Aesthetics
Same day crowns are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Unlike traditional crowns that can leave dark lines along the gum line or look obviously artificial, zirconia crowns match the color and translucency of your real teeth. You can smile, laugh, and eat with confidence.
More Conservative Preparation
Traditional crowns often require removing more of your natural tooth structure. Same day crowns allow us to preserve more of your existing tooth, which is always our goal. Less drilling means a more comfortable experience and a healthier foundation for your restoration.
Exceptional Durability
Don't let the speed fool you—same day crowns are just as durable as traditional crowns. Zirconia is one of the strongest dental materials available, designed to withstand years of normal chewing and biting forces.
What to Expect
When you come in for a same day crown, here's what happens:
- We'll examine your tooth and discuss whether a same day crown is the right solution
- We'll prepare the tooth and use a digital scanner to capture detailed 3D images
- While you relax, our in-office milling machine crafts your custom crown
- We'll check the fit, make any needed adjustments, and bond the crown permanently in place
- You'll leave with care instructions and a fully restored smile
Most patients are surprised by how comfortable and straightforward the process is.
Is a Same Day Crown Right for You?
Same day crowns are an excellent option for many situations, including:
- Cracked or broken teeth
- Teeth weakened by large fillings
- Teeth damaged by decay
- Simple restorations that need durable protection
During your visit, we'll evaluate your specific needs and recommend the best approach for your smile.
