Same Day Dental Crowns Explained
Forget the hassle of multiple dental appointments and temporary crowns. With this revolutionary Same-Day Dental Crown technology, you won’t need to sit around with a chipped or broken tooth for a moment longer than necessary. The procedure is quick, easy and efficient, leaving you with a newly restored smile in just one appointment.
Say goodbye to those awkward temporary crowns that always seem to fall off at the most inopportune times. Same-day dental crowns are the future of dental restoration work, and we are here for it.
Here’s everything you need to know about same-day crowns and how they work.
What is a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns are a type of dental restoration that covers the entire visible part of the tooth. It is used when a tooth is seriously damaged or decayed beyond that which can be fixed with a filling – but before we consider a dental extraction.
In the past, getting a dental crown was about as enjoyable as a root canal. Multiple visits, temporary crowns, and a lot of waiting around made it feel like climbing Mount Everest.
Same-day crown technology means one visit, no temporary crown, and a more accurate, natural-looking dental crown within the day.
What are the Benefits of Choosing Same-Day Dental Crowns
- The primary advantage of same-day crown technology is convenience and speed—you only have to make one trip to your dentist’s office instead of multiple visits spread out over time.
- Also, same-day crowns are natural-looking because they are made from tooth-coloured ceramic materials and designed to match your other teeth.
- You’ll never have to worry about your crown fitting perfectly since everything is done digitally. The result is more accurate measurements and better fitting restorations every time.
Understanding the Process – How does it work?
Step One: Once we’ve determined that a dental crown is the right treatment for you, we will meticulously remove any damaged surface of the tooth and any existing tooth decay. This crucial step allows us to establish a strong and healthy foundation for your new crown, ensuring its stability and a perfect fit.
Step Two: We then take a 3D digital scan of your mouth, capturing all the necessary details without requiring any impression paste or other traditional materials. We may also perform X-rays as needed.
Step Three: From your digital scan, our experienced dental professionals carefully design a precise blueprint. This digital representation of your tooth means that your crown will integrate seamlessly with your current teeth, ensuring not only an aesthetically pleasing result but also a more comfortable and long-term solution.
Step Four: Our innovative CEREC technology is enlisted to carefully mill your custom-made dental crown from tooth-coloured ceramic materials, resulting in a restoration that not only looks natural but also functions flawlessly.
Step Five: Finally, we secure your custom-designed dental crown using adhesive dental cement.

Potential Pitfalls to Avoid with Same-Day Dental Crowns
Same-day dental crowns are a significant advancement in modern dentistry, allowing patients to receive a perfectly fitted dental crown in just one visit. However, to achieve the best possible results and avoid any potential pitfalls, it’s important to be mindful of a few key factors.
- Firstly, always ensure that you visit an experienced dentist proficient in using the advanced technology required for same-day crown procedures (like Dr George and Dr Summer here at Smileologie), as unskilled handling could lead to poorly constructed crowns.
- Secondly, communicate openly with your dentist about your concerns and expectations, enabling them to provide the most appropriate treatment.
- Lastly, pay close attention to your oral hygiene routine and follow your dentist’s aftercare advice meticulously. Any lapse in maintaining the health of your remaining teeth and gums could jeopardize the longevity of your newly placed same-day dental crown.
