Say Goodbye to Temporary Crowns: Discover the Convenience of Same-Day Crowns
In today’s fast-paced world, waiting days—or even weeks—for a dental crown is quickly becoming a thing of the past. Thanks to advancements in dental technology, same-day crowns are changing the game. If you’ve ever had to deal with multiple dental visits, temporary crowns that fall off, or just the inconvenience of waiting, this innovation is for you.
What Are Same-Day Crowns?
Same-day crowns, also known as 3D printed crowns are custom-made dental crowns that are designed, created, and placed in just one visit. Using CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and manufacturing) technology, your dentist can craft a permanent crown right in the office, often within a couple of hours.
How Do They Work?
-
Digital Impressions – Say goodbye to messy molds. Your dentist uses a digital scanner to capture a precise 3D image of your tooth.
-
Crown Design – The dentist designs your crown digitally, ensuring a perfect fit and natural look.
-
3d Printing– The crown is pressed from a special machine that makes various products out of a very strong resin/ceramic material.
-
Placement – The crown is polished, checked for fit and bite, and then bonded into place—all in the same appointment.

Are Same-Day Crowns Right for You?
Most patients who need a crown are great candidates for same-day treatment. Whether it's due to decay, a cracked tooth, or after a root canal, same-day crowns are an excellent solution. However, in complex cases or for specific cosmetic concerns, a traditional crown might still be recommended.
Final Thoughts
Dental care doesn’t have to be a drawn-out process anymore. With same-day crowns, you can walk in with a problem and walk out with a permanent, beautifully restored tooth—all in just one visit.
Ready to save time and skip the hassle? Ask your dentist if same-day crowns are available at your next visit—you might be surprised how simple and stress-free getting a crown can be.
