What are same-day dental crowns?
Same-day dental crowns provide a convenient way for dentists to repair and protect damaged teeth in just one visit. These crowns are typically used to fix teeth that have been fractured or chipped due to an injury, or to address cavities that are too extensive for a filling. Opting for a same-day CEREC crown can help avoid issues that may arise with temporary solutions or multiple appointments, providing a long-lasting dental fix in a timely manner. Patients with hectic schedules or urgent dental needs can find great value in same-day crowns.
Same-day dental crown treatment process
- Dental Exam & Crown Preparation
First, your dentist will examine and prepare your tooth to ensure a stable base for your new crown. - Digital Impressions
Using a hand-held intraoral scanner, your dentist will create a 3D digital image of your mouth and teeth. - Crown Milling
The digital impressions are used to mill your same-day crown right in the office. - Fit Inspection & Adjustment
Once the crown is ready, your dentist will check for fit and make any necessary adjustments. - Permanent Crown Placement
After final adjustments, your dentist will bond the crown into place permanently, restoring your smile and bite.

Say goodbye to uncomfortable temporary caps and hello to a beautiful, durable crown on the same day of your treatment.
Complete digital process
Your dentist will use an intraoral scanner to take digital impressions of your teeth before starting treatment. These impressions are then sent to the in-office milling machine to create your same-day crown. No messy impressions are needed to achieve a custom-made crown.
