How Same-Day Crowns Work
Traditional dental crowns require two appointments spaced weeks apart. First, your tooth is prepared and an impression is taken. Then you wear a temporary crown while a lab fabricates your permanent one. Finally, you return to have the temporary removed and the permanent crown placed.
Same-day crown technology eliminates this waiting period entirely. Using advanced CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing) systems, we design and mill your custom crown right here in our Plainview office while you wait.
The result? You walk in with a damaged tooth and walk out with a beautiful, permanent restoration—all in about two hours. No temporary crown, no second appointment, no multiple rounds of anesthesia.
The Technology Behind It:
3D Digital Scanning
Instead of goopy impression material, we use a precision digital scanner to capture your tooth in perfect detail.
Computer-Aided Design
Advanced software designs your crown for optimal fit, function, and aesthetics based on your unique anatomy.
In-Office Milling
A precision milling machine carves your crown from a solid block of high-quality ceramic in about 15 minutes.

When Might You Need a Crown?
Dental crowns are one of the most versatile restorations in dentistry. They completely cover and protect a damaged tooth, restoring its strength, function, and appearance.
Crown Materials
Our same-day crowns are made from high-quality ceramic that closely matches the appearance of natural teeth. This material is:
- Strong and durable for everyday chewing
- Biocompatible and metal-free
- Color-matched to your natural teeth
- Resistant to staining over time
- Gentle on opposing teeth
Frequently Asked Questions
Are same-day crowns as durable as traditional lab-made crowns?
Yes! The ceramic materials used in same-day crowns are the same high-quality materials used by dental labs. Studies show they perform equally well in terms of strength, fit, and longevity. With proper care, your same-day crown can last 15 years or more.
Does insurance cover same-day crowns?
Most dental insurance plans cover same-day crowns the same way they cover traditional crowns—they're the same procedure, just with different technology. We'll verify your coverage and explain your benefits before treatment.
Is the procedure painful?
No. We use local anesthesia to ensure you're completely comfortable during tooth preparation. The scanning, designing, and milling portions are entirely painless. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the experience is.
How do I care for my same-day crown?
Care for your crown just like your natural teeth: brush twice daily, floss daily, and visit us for regular checkups. Avoid chewing ice or very hard objects. With good care, your crown will serve you well for many years.
