That's why we offer same-day crowns, combining state-of-the-art technology with expert care to provide you with a quick and efficient dental solution.

What Are Same-Day Crowns?

Same-day crowns are a revolutionary dental solution that allows patients to have their crowns designed, created, and placed in a single appointment. This process eliminates the need for multiple visits and temporary crowns.

  • Digital Scanning: We use advanced digital scanners to create a precise 3D image of your tooth, with fit and bite checked clinically before delivery for your crown.
  • Exocad Design: Our dental experts utilize Exocad software to design a custom crown that matches your natural tooth color and shape.
  • In-House Milling: The DOF Craft 5X lab-grade 5-axis milling machine allows us to craft your crown on-site with precision.
  • Hand Finishing: Each crown is meticulously hand-finished for a natural look and feel.
  • Same-Day Bonding: Once completed, the crown is bonded to your tooth, restoring your smile immediately.
