Call 772.336.2300 to request a crown evaluation.
A dental crown covers a tooth to restore its shape and protect weakened tooth structure. A same-day crown can be designed, made, and placed during one treatment visit when the case is suitable. Some teeth require a laboratory-made restoration or additional treatment first.
How Do I Know If I Need A Crown?
A crown may be recommended for a cracked or broken tooth, a tooth with extensive decay or a large filling, or a tooth needing protection after root canal treatment. Crowns can also form part of an implant restoration.
The decision depends on how much healthy tooth remains, your bite, and the condition of the tooth. A filling or inlay or onlay may be sufficient in some cases.
How are Same Day Crowns Made?
Same-day workflows use digital records and computer-aided design and manufacturing to create the restoration. The tooth is prepared, the crown is made, and its fit, shade, and bite are checked before placement.
Appointment length varies with the tooth and treatment required. Ask the office how much time to allow; this page does not promise completion within an hour.
Same-Day or Laboratory-Made Crown?
Both same-day and laboratory-made crowns can restore a tooth. The best choice depends on the required material, appearance, tooth location, remaining tooth structure, and bite. A single visit is a convenience benefit, rather than a guarantee that one crown type is best for every case.
How Do I Get a Same-Day Crown?
Start with an examination. Explain any pain, recent breakage, or problems with an existing crown. The dentist can assess the tooth and discuss the recommended restoration, appointment schedule, and estimate.

How long does a same-day crown last?
A crown may serve for many years, but its lifespan varies with the tooth, bite, habits, and care. Teeth under crowns can still develop problems. Continue daily brushing and cleaning between teeth and attend dental checks on the schedule recommended for you.
How quickly can a dental crown be made?
For suitable cases, a same-day crown can be completed in one treatment visit. An initial evaluation, treatment of decay or infection, or a laboratory restoration may involve additional visits. Confirm the schedule for your particular tooth before arranging time away from work.
Are Same-Day Crowns More Expensive?
There is no universal price difference between same-day and laboratory-made crowns. Cost depends on the restoration and any additional treatment. Request a written estimate, ask whether a buildup or other procedure is separate, and confirm your insurance benefits before proceeding.
What are the Benefits of Same Day Dental Crowns?
A suitable same-day crown can reduce the need for a separate crown-placement visit and a temporary crown between visits. Digital records also offer an alternative to conventional impression materials in the workflows that use them.
The priority remains a restoration that fits your tooth and bite well.
Are Same-Day Crowns Worth It?
Consider the clinical recommendation alongside convenience, cost, and your preferences. Ask why a same-day crown is suitable for your tooth, what material is recommended, and whether a laboratory option would offer an advantage in your case.
What Is A CEREC Crown?
CEREC is a brand of digital dentistry technology used for designing and making restorations, including crowns. The term is not a guarantee of a particular crown material, treatment time, or result. Ask the office about the equipment and material proposed for your treatment.
