From Start to Finish: What to Expect with Same Day Crowns


When it comes to restoring your smile, dental crowns are a common solution for damaged or weakened teeth. Traditionally, getting a crown meant multiple visits, temporary restorations, and weeks of waiting. Fortunately, advancements in dental technology have made it possible to receive same day crowns in just one appointment. At The Center of Cosmetic and Family Dentistry, we are proud to offer this convenient, time-saving option to our patients.
 

What Are Same Day Crowns?

Same day crowns are custom-designed restorations that are created and placed in a single visit using advanced CAD/CAM technology. CAD/CAM stands for Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing. This technology allows us to design and fabricate your crown right in our office, eliminating the need for a dental lab.
 

What to Expect During the Process

First, we begin with digital impressions. Using a small handheld scanner, we capture a detailed 3D image of your tooth. This advanced technology eliminates the need for traditional impression trays, providing a more comfortable experience. The resulting digital model allows us to design your custom crown with precision and accuracy.
 

Next comes the crown design. Your dentist uses the 3D image to create a digital model of your crown. This step is quick and ensures that the final crown will align with your bite and match the natural contours of your tooth for both comfort and appearance.
 

Once the design is finalized, the in-office milling process begins. A block of high-quality ceramic is placed into our milling machine, which sculpts your crown on the spot. This part of the process typically takes less than an hour, allowing for minimal wait time.
 

After the crown is milled, it is carefully polished and checked for fit and color. Once everything looks and feels right, the crown is bonded securely to your tooth. The ceramic material is both durable and lifelike, blending seamlessly with your natural teeth and built to last for years with proper care.
 

Finally, you will leave your appointment with a fully restored smile. There is no need for a second visit or a temporary crown. With same day crowns, you can enjoy immediate results and walk out of our office with renewed confidence.
