We get it: waiting weeks for a dental crown while wearing a temporary one isn’t just inconvenient, it can be uncomfortable and even a little stressful. That’s why we’re proud to offer same-day crowns at our practice. With this advanced technology, you can walk in with a damaged tooth and walk out with a beautifully restored smile, all in just one visit!
Dr. Donald and Dr. Alissa Roman use cutting-edge CEREC technology to design, craft, and place your crown right here in our office. No messy impressions, no second appointments, and no temporary crowns that might come loose or feel awkward.
Who’s a Good Fit for Same-Day Crowns?
If you’ve got a tooth that’s cracked, worn down, or has a large cavity, and the root is still healthy, you might be a great candidate. Same-day crowns are especially helpful if:
- You’re juggling a busy schedule and can’t make multiple visits
- You’d rather skip the hassle of a temporary crown
- You feel anxious about dental work and want to get everything done in one visit
- You’ve recently had a root canal and need to protect the tooth quickly
- You grind your teeth and need a durable, fast solution
We’ll take a close look at your tooth and talk through your options to make sure this is the best fit for you.
Why Patients Love Same-Day Crowns
Here’s what makes this treatment so popular with our patients:
- It’s fast: one visit, one crown, done.
- It’s comfortable: no goopy impressions or temporary crowns.
- It’s precise: digital imaging and design mean a perfect fit.
- It’s strong and natural-looking: the ceramic we use is durable, beautiful, and blends right in with your smile.
- It protects your tooth immediately: no waiting around with a vulnerable tooth.
When you combine all these benefits, it’s easy to see why so many of our patients choose same-day crowns when they need tooth restoration. It’s dental care that actually fits into your life, rather than disrupting it.
What Happens During Your Appointment
We’ll start by gently preparing your tooth and taking a digital scan—no uncomfortable trays needed. Then, while you relax, we’ll design your crown using advanced software and mill it right here in our office. In about 15–20 minutes, your custom crown will be ready to try on. Once we’ve made sure it fits just right, we’ll bond it in place and that’s it! You’re good to go.
Caring for Your New Same-Day Crown
Once your crown is in place, you might be wondering, “Now what?” The good news is that caring for your same-day crown is pretty straightforward, and it should feel completely natural within a few hours. We always recommend waiting about an hour after the procedure before eating or drinking anything, just to let the bonding fully set. After that, you’re free to enjoy all your favorite foods again. Your new crown is designed to function just like your natural tooth, so you can brush and floss normally.
With proper care, same-day crowns can last 10-15 years or even longer. The ceramic material we use is incredibly durable and resists staining better than natural tooth enamel. We’ll want to see you for regular checkups to make sure your crown is doing well, and if you’re someone who grinds their teeth at night, we might recommend a night guard to protect your investment. Most patients forget they even have a crown after a few weeks – it becomes that much of a natural part of their smile.
