What Are Same-Day Crowns?
Same-day crowns are a breakthrough in restorative dentistry, allowing us to complete what used to require multiple visits in just one appointment.
Crafted from high-quality ceramic, these crowns are designed to match the natural color, shape, and size of your teeth, restoring your smile's beauty and function with remarkable precision.
How Do Same-Day Crowns Work?
The magic behind same-day crowns lies in CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology.
This advanced system enables us to take accurate digital impressions of your tooth, design the crown on a computer, and then mill your custom crown right in our office while you wait. The process eliminates the need for temporary crowns and multiple visits, making it the perfect solution for busy families and professionals.
The Benefits of Same-Day Crowns
- Time-Saving: Complete the entire process in a single appointment, saving you time and eliminating the need for temporary crowns.
- Comfort: Digital impressions are more comfortable for the patient than traditional methods, with no need for messy impression materials.
- Precision: CAD/CAM technology ensures a precise fit, reducing the risk of future dental issues.
- Aesthetics: Ceramic crowns are matched to your natural tooth color, providing a seamless and attractive restoration.
- Durability: Made from high-quality materials, same-day crowns are durable and designed to last.

Frequently
Asked Questions
Are same-day crowns as durable as traditional crowns?
Yes, same-day crowns are made from high-quality ceramic materials that are comparable in strength and durability to those of traditional crowns. They are designed to last for many years with proper care, including good oral hygiene practices and regular dental checkups.
Will my same-day crown look natural?
Absolutely. One of the significant advantages of same-day crowns is their aesthetic appeal. The ceramic used can be matched to the color of your natural teeth, ensuring that your new crown blends seamlessly with your smile.
Is the procedure for a same-day crown painful?
Our goal at Kingston Bay Dentistry is to ensure every procedure is as comfortable as possible. Local anesthesia is used to numb the area around your tooth, minimizing discomfort during the preparation and placement of the crown. Most patients report feeling little to no pain during the procedure.
How long does it take to get a same-day crown?
The entire process for a same-day crown, from preparation to placement, can be completed in just one visit, usually within a few hours. This is a significant time-saving benefit compared to traditional crowns, which typically require at least two appointments spread over a few weeks.
How do I care for my same-day crown?
Caring for a same-day crown is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups are essential. Although the crown is resistant to decay, the tooth beneath it and the surrounding gum tissue can still be susceptible to gum disease and cavities, making oral hygiene crucial.
Can anyone get a same-day crown?
Most patients needing a crown are candidates for a same-day crown. However, the final determination will depend on the specific dental needs and the health of the tooth and surrounding area. A consultation with one of our dentists can determine if a same-day crown is the best option for you.
How much is a same-day crown, and is it covered by insurance?
The cost of a same-day crown is comparable to that of traditional crowns, and many dental insurance plans cover them. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to understand your coverage. Our team at Kingston Bay Dentistry is also here to help with insurance questions and payment options.
Why choose Kingston Bay Dentistry for your same-day crown?
Choosing Kingston Bay Dentistry means selecting a practice that values your time, comfort, and satisfaction. Our use of advanced CAD/CAM technology, coupled with our commitment to personalized, quality care, ensures that your same-day crown process is as efficient, comfortable, and rewarding as possible.
