The same-day crowns process

1

Digital scanning and assessment

Our dentists begin by examining your tooth and taking detailed 3D scans. This technology captures every contour of your bite, ensuring your crown will fit perfectly and restore full function.

2

Custom design

Using advanced design software, our dentists create your crown to match the exact shade, shape, and bite of your natural teeth. You can even preview the design before it’s made.

3

In-office milling

Your crown is crafted on-site using a high-quality ceramic block and our precise milling unit. This portion of the crown process typically takes less than an hour and ensures a strong, long-lasting result.

4

Placement and final adjustments

Once your crown is ready, our dentist bonds it securely in place and makes any needed adjustments. You’ll leave with a fully restored smile that feels comfortable and looks completely natural.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do same-day crowns last?

With proper care, same-day crowns can last 10–15 years or more. Their durability is comparable to crowns made in a dental lab, thanks to the strong, high-quality ceramic used. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups with our dentists will help extend the life of your crown and protect the tooth underneath.

Are same-day crowns as strong as traditional crowns?

Yes — same-day crowns are made from the same durable ceramic utilized by top dental laboratories, designed to withstand normal biting and chewing forces. Our in-house technology allows for precision shaping and strong bonding, so you can trust your crown to function like a natural tooth. For patients who grind their teeth at night, our dentists may recommend a custom night guard to provide extra protection.

Will my same-day crown match my other teeth?

Absolutely. We select the shade based on your surrounding teeth and fine-tune it during the design process to ensure a seamless blend. Because our dentists oversee every step — from scanning to design to placement — your crown is customized not just for fit, but for a natural, beautiful appearance.
