Who Is a Candidate for Same-Day Dental Crowns?

If you’re dealing with a weakened, fractured, or decayed tooth, repairing the damage as quickly as possible can be crucial to your comfort and oral health. Same-day dental crowns offer an advanced, custom-tailored option to expedite your tooth restoration in just a single visit. Below, Dr. Jenny Miller defines same-day dental crowns and discusses ideal candidacy for this superior, convenient solution.

Dental crowns act as a tooth “cap” to provide structural support and strength to compromised teeth weakened by decay, trauma, and other damage. Additionally, dental crowns are a common prosthetic option to top dental implants, referred to as implant crowns. By using all-porcelain, metal-free dental crowns made of durable, high-quality ceramic material, the restoration can deliver natural-looking results that blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.

Unlike traditional crowns, which require multiple visits and temporary crowns, our same-day dental crowns involve CEREC^® CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and manufacturing). We can utilize this technology to design, fabricate, and place your crown in a single appointment, an amenity performed by Dr. Miller and Neil Miller, CDT, CMT at Hamburg Expressions’ on-site dental lab.

Fortunately, many patients are eligible for the benefits of same-day dental crowns. You may be a good candidate if you have:

• A cracked, chipped, or fractured tooth
• A tooth weakened by a large filling
• Significant wear due to grinding or erosion
• A tooth that has undergone root canal therapy
• A worn, broken, or damaged existing crown

During a personal consultation and oral evaluation by an experienced, skilled cosmetic dentist, such as Dr. Miller, you can learn more about your options for tooth restoration and whether same-day dental crowns, or an alternative solution, are the best option for your needs.

The Advantage of an In-House Dental Lab

Thanks to state-of-the-art technology, on-site dental labs offer the convenience to oversee every step of the dental crown process – from consultation, tooth preparation, and crown placement – usually all in one day. Additionally, by designing, milling, and customizing your crown on-site, it can ensure a precise fit, optimal comfort, and stunning aesthetics during the same visit. With a more streamlined method, you can walk in and walk out the same day with a strong, confident smile you’ll be proud to share.
