Same-Day Crowns in One Visit

Walk in with a cracked or worn tooth and walk out with a permanent, custom crown that same day. No temporaries, no waiting weeks.

Love To Smile Dentistry

If you have ever needed a crown, you know the old routine. Messy impressions, a temporary that pops off at dinner, and a second appointment two or three weeks later. We do it differently. With same-day CEREC crowns, we digitally scan your tooth, design your crown right here on screen, mill it from a solid block of tooth colored ceramic, and bond it in place, all in a single visit. You leave with the real thing, done and finished, so you can get back to your day.

Same-day dental crown, a natural looking ceramic restoration

One appointment, start to finish

Most crowns take two visits and a lot of waiting in between. Same-day CEREC crowns take one. From the first scan to the final polish, your custom crown is designed, made, and cemented while you relax in the chair.

That means no juggling two days off work, no driving back across town, and no living with a temporary crown that feels bulky or comes loose at the worst moment. When you leave, your tooth is fully restored and ready to use.

No goopy impressions, no temporary crown

Traditional crowns start with a tray of thick impression material that you have to bite into and hold while it sets. It is uncomfortable, it can trigger the gag reflex, and it takes several tries to get right.

We replaced all of that with a small digital scanner. We simply glide it over your tooth and a precise 3D model appears on the screen in minutes. It is clean, comfortable, and far more accurate, which means a crown that fits the way it should the first time.

How your same-day crown is made

First, we gently prepare the tooth and capture it with the digital scanner. Next, Dr. Pedersen designs your crown right on the screen, shaping it to match the size, bite, and contours of your natural teeth.

Then our in office milling unit carves your crown from a single block of high strength ceramic while you wait. We match the color to the teeth around it, refine the fit, and bond it firmly in place the same day. You watch your new tooth come to life from start to finish.

Strong, natural looking, and color matched

These crowns are made from durable ceramic that is built to handle real chewing and everyday life. They are strong where you need it and gentle on the teeth they bite against.

Just as important, they look like they belong. We match the shade and translucency to your surrounding teeth so no one can tell which tooth was restored. The result feels natural in your mouth and disappears into your smile.

A rare option that saves you time

Very few practices offer true single-visit crowns, because it takes special training and technology to do it well. We invested in both so you do not have to choose between quality and convenience.

This is a real difference for busy people. Parents, professionals, anyone who cannot spare a second trip weeks later. One visit, one crown, one and done.

Great for cracked, broken, or heavily filled teeth

A same-day crown is a strong choice when a tooth is cracked, broken, worn down, or held together by a large old filling that keeps failing. A crown wraps the whole tooth and protects it so you can bite and chew with confidence again.

If you have been putting off treatment because you dreaded the process, this is the reason to move forward. We can often protect that tooth and finish the work before you leave, which helps prevent bigger problems down the road.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is a same-day crown as strong as a regular crown?

Yes. Same-day CEREC crowns are milled from a solid block of high strength ceramic and are built to hold up to normal biting and chewing. Because they are one precise piece designed to fit your bite, they are strong and long lasting. The main difference from a traditional crown is that you get yours in one visit instead of two.

Will the crown match my other teeth?

It will. We choose a ceramic shade that matches the color and translucency of the teeth around it, then refine it before bonding. The goal is a crown that blends in so well that no one can tell which tooth was restored. Most patients are surprised at how natural it looks once it is in place.

How long does the whole appointment take?

Most same-day crown visits are completed in a single appointment, often in a couple of hours from the first scan to the final bonded crown. That includes preparing the tooth, designing the crown, milling it in the office, and cementing it. We will give you a clear time estimate for your specific tooth before we begin so you can plan your day.

Do I still need a temporary crown?

No, and that is one of the best parts. Because your permanent crown is made and placed the same day, there is no temporary to wear and no waiting period in between. You never have to worry about a temporary coming loose, feeling bulky, or being careful with certain foods for weeks.

Am I a good candidate for a same-day crown?

Many people are, especially if you have a cracked, broken, or worn tooth, or a large old filling that keeps breaking down. A same-day crown protects the whole tooth and restores it in one visit. The best way to know for sure is a quick exam and scan, where we can look at the tooth and talk through your options honestly with you.

Does insurance help cover a same-day crown?

In most cases a same-day crown is covered similarly to a traditional crown, since it is the same restoration made a better way. We are happy to review your benefits with you, and we offer flexible financing and a membership plan for patients without insurance. Our team will walk you through the numbers clearly before any treatment begins.
