What Are Same Day Crowns?
Same day crowns are dental crowns designed, created, and fitted same day crowns, usually using CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology. Unlike traditional crowns, which take a week or more to be made at a dental lab, same day crowns are milled right in the dental office using high-quality ceramic or porcelain materials.
This innovation saves time and eliminates the need for temporary crowns, messy impressions, and multiple office visits. The result? A quick and comfortable experience that restores your smile efficiently and effectively.
How Do Same Day Crowns Work?
The process begins with a digital scan of your tooth using an intraoral camera—no need for sticky molds. The dentist uses specialized software to design a custom crown based on your unique bite and tooth shape.
Once the design is finalized, it’s sent to an in-office milling machine, which carves your crown from a solid block of ceramic. The entire process typically takes 1 to 2 hours, after which the crown is polished, adjusted for fit, and bonded into place.
