The process of getting a same-day crown is efficient and patient-friendly. It begins with a thorough exam and preparation of the affected tooth. Instead of traditional impressions, your dentist uses a digital scanner to create a precise 3D image. This scan is used to design your custom crown using in-office software. The design is then sent to a milling machine that fabricates the crown from a ceramic block, often in under an hour. Once ready, the crown is adjusted for fit and permanently bonded, all in a single visit.
The Benefits of Same-Day Crowns vs. Traditional Crowns

Same-day crowns offer several advantages over traditional crowns, particularly in terms of time and convenience. With digital imaging and in-office milling, patients can receive a permanent crown in a single visit, eliminating the need for temporary crowns and follow-up appointments. This streamlined process reduces discomfort and saves time. While traditional crowns may offer more material options, same-day crowns provide excellent durability and aesthetics using high-quality ceramic. For many patients, the ability to restore their smile quickly without compromising quality is a significant benefit
