Advantages of Same-Day Crowns

Time and Convenience Benefits

Same-day crowns eliminate the typical 2–3 week waiting period required for traditional crowns. You can schedule your appointment and leave the same day with a fully functional, beautiful crown. This is particularly valuable for patients with busy schedules or those who prefer to complete their dental treatment quickly.

No Temporary Crowns

Traditional crown procedures require wearing a temporary crown while your permanent restoration is made in a dental laboratory. Temporary crowns can be uncomfortable, may come loose, and don’t provide the same level of protection as permanent restorations. With one-visit crowns, you skip this inconvenient step entirely.

Superior Comfort and Fit

Digital impressions used for same-day crowns are more comfortable than traditional impressions, which can trigger gag reflexes and cause discomfort. The precise digital measurements ensure an excellent fit that often exceeds the accuracy of traditional impression methods.

High-Quality Materials

Same-day crowns are made from durable, biocompatible ceramic materials that closely mimic the appearance and strength of natural tooth enamel. These porcelain crowns are stain-resistant and can last many years with proper care.

Immediate Function

Because your permanent crown is placed the same day, you can return to normal eating and speaking immediately after your appointment. There’s no adjustment period or dietary restrictions associated with temporary crowns.

Reduced Anxiety

For patients who experience dental anxiety, completing crown treatment in a single visit can be much less stressful than multiple appointments spread over several weeks.

The Same-Day Crowns Process

Digital Impression and Design

Your appointment begins with tooth preparation, similar to traditional crown procedures. Instead of messy impression materials, Dr. Nijhawan uses a digital scanner to capture precise 3D images of your prepared tooth and surrounding area. These digital impressions are immediately uploaded to the CEREC design software.

Computer-Aided Crown Design

Using the digital impressions, Dr. Nijhawan designs your crown on a computer screen, ensuring optimal fit, function, and aesthetics. The software allows for precise customization of the crown’s shape, size, and contours to match your natural bite and smile perfectly.

In-Office Milling

Once the design is finalized, your crown is milled from a solid block of high-quality ceramic material using our in-office milling machine. This process takes approximately 15–20 minutes while you relax comfortably in our office.

Fitting and Placement

After milling, Dr. Nijhawan checks the fit and appearance of your new crown, making any necessary adjustments for optimal comfort and function. The crown is then permanently bonded to your prepared tooth using strong dental cement.

Final Adjustments

Before you leave, Dr. Nijhawan ensures your bite is comfortable and makes any final adjustments needed for optimal function. You’ll receive care instructions and can immediately return to normal activities.
