The Advantages Of Same-Day Crowns
Same-day crowns are an innovative solution for patients who want fast, high-quality dental restorations without the typical waiting period. With this modern approach, you no longer need to schedule multiple appointments or deal with temporary crowns. Instead, you’ll walk out of our office with a fully restored, natural-looking tooth in just one visit.
This technology is ideal for busy professionals, parents, and anyone who wants to minimize time spent in the dental chair. Not only do you avoid the inconvenience of back-and-forth visits, but you also benefit from precise digital imaging and custom craftsmanship—all delivered the same day. It’s a convenient, efficient, and reliable option for restoring your smile.
How Planmeca PlanScan® Technology Creates A Crown In One Visit
Our Planmeca PlanScan system allows us to scan, design, mill, and place your crown in a single appointment—all without traditional impressions or lab delays. The process begins with a high-resolution digital scan of your tooth, creating a detailed 3D image that allows us to design your crown with extreme precision.
Once the design is finalized, the in-office milling unit carves your crown from a durable block of ceramic while you relax in the treatment chair. Before placement, we customize the fit and shade to match your surrounding teeth. The crown is then bonded securely in place, restoring both the function and beauty of your tooth within hours, not days.
Strong & Durable Crowns In Just Hours
Same-day crowns offer the strength and reliability of traditional crowns, but with the added benefit of instant results. These restorations are milled from high-quality ceramic materials that are built to handle everyday biting and chewing forces. Whether you’re repairing a molar or restoring a front tooth, you can count on your new crown to hold up under pressure.
In addition to their strength, same-day crowns are designed with aesthetics in mind. The ceramic material is carefully color-matched to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, offering a realistic look and feel. With proper care—including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups—your crown can last many years while protecting the tooth underneath from further damage or decay.
Same-Day Crowns Vs. Traditional Crowns
Traditional dental crowns typically involve a lengthy process: an initial visit with messy impressions, a temporary crown for two to three weeks, and a second appointment to place the permanent crown. During that time, the temporary crown can fall out, feel uncomfortable, or leave the tooth vulnerable to sensitivity or further damage.
With same-day crowns, the entire process is streamlined into a single, convenient visit. Digital scans replace physical molds, the need for temporary crowns is eliminated, and there’s no need to take additional time off for follow-up appointments. The precision of digital design also means a better fit and more accurate bite alignment, leading to longer-lasting comfort and fewer adjustments later on.
Restoring Your Tooth With A Single Appointment
Whether your tooth has a crack, cavity, or is worn down from grinding, same-day crowns provide a fast, effective way to restore it before the damage worsens. These crowns cover and seal the affected tooth, protecting it from further decay or fracture while restoring its strength and function.
The process is minimally invasive and designed to preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible. From start to finish, we prioritize your comfort, using gentle techniques and efficient tools to ensure a stress-free experience. By the end of your appointment, you’ll leave with a strong, beautiful crown—and the confidence of knowing your tooth is fully restored.
