Dental crowns traditionally require at least two office visits and the use of a temporary restoration.

We offer same-day crowns to save you both time and money.

Traditional vs Same-Day Crowns

Same-Day Dental Crown Procedure

During your consultation, our dentistry team will evaluate the structure of your smile and assess your oral health to determine if you are a candidate for treatment. Here are the steps you can expect during the procedure:

Anesthesia

If you qualify for a same-day crown, we can begin by numbing the tooth and gums for your comfort. Sedation options are also available to keep you comfortable if desired.

Prepping the Tooth

We will remove all compromised tissue before reshaping the tooth. This process is usually necessary to restore your health and ensure that your crown will fit correctly in your smile.

Dental Impressions

We can then take digital impressions using CEREC technology. Unlike traditional impressions, which require messy dental putty, digital impressions are fast, clean, and convenient.

Designing the Crown

Once the impressions have been taken, we can upload them directly onto a computer screen. We can then design the crown to match your tooth shade and dental anatomy.

Crown Fabrication

We then send the information to our on-site milling machine. Over the next one to two hours, this unit can manufacture your crown from a solid block of medical-grade porcelain.

Placement of Crown

After your crown is complete, we can assess the fit. If no adjustments are needed, we can secure your porcelain restoration in place with dental cement.

Single-Visit Crowns for Ultimate Convenience

At Parkway Dental, we can prepare your tooth for crown placement, manufacture the crown, and place the crown all in one appointment. Thanks to our digital technology, you can actually work alongside us to determine the shape and appearance of your crown. Our single-visit approach saves patients the headaches and inconvenience of ill-fitting, temporary crowns.
