Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What are same-day crowns?
A. Same-day crowns are custom-made dental restorations created and placed in one visit using advanced digital scanning and CAD/CAM technology. Unlike traditional crowns that require multiple appointments and temporaries, same-day crowns are milled in-office and delivered on the same day.
Q. How does CEREC same-day crown technology work?
A. We use digital impressions and in-office milling to design and fabricate your crown while you wait. A digital scanner captures your tooth, a computer models the restoration, and our mill creates a highly precise, natural-looking crown that’s placed during the same appointment.
Q. Am I a good candidate for a same-day crown?
A. Most patients needing a crown due to decay, cracked teeth, or large existing fillings qualify for same-day crowns. Ideal candidates have good overall oral health with no active gum disease. Your dentist will evaluate your specific needs during a consultation.
Q. How long does the same-day crown appointment take?
A. Same-day crown appointments typically take about 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on complexity. During this visit, we prepare the tooth, scan digitally, mill the crown, and place it—all in one appointment.
Q. Are same-day crowns durable and long-lasting?
A. Yes. Same-day crowns are made from high-strength ceramic materials that provide both durability and excellent aesthetics. With proper oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, these restorations can last many years.
Q. Will the same-day crown match the color of my natural teeth?
A. Absolutely. Digital shade matching and precise fabrication allow us to customize your crown to blend seamlessly with the surrounding teeth for a natural, beautiful result.
Q. Is the same-day crown procedure painful?
A. Most patients experience minimal discomfort. Local anesthesia ensures a comfortable procedure, and because you don’t need a temporary crown, there’s less sensitivity after treatment compared with traditional methods.
Q. Can a same-day crown be done if I have other dental treatments scheduled?
A. Yes. Same-day crowns can often be coordinated with other procedures such as fillings, laser therapy, or periodontal care, allowing comprehensive dental treatment in fewer visits.
