Same-Day Crowns
A same-day crown is designed, made and fitted in a single visit — no temporary crown, and no second appointment weeks later.
The traditional route to a crown takes two appointments and a temporary in between: the tooth is prepared, an impression sent to a laboratory, and you return a few weeks later to have the finished crown fitted. A same-day crown compresses that into one visit.
Why it matters practically
- One appointment instead of two, which matters when the office is open four days a week
- No temporary crown to come loose or feel odd for a fortnight
- No second course of anaesthetic
- The tooth is prepared and protected the same day, rather than being left under a temporary
When a crown is the right answer
A crown covers and holds together a tooth that cannot reliably be restored with a filling — one that is heavily decayed, cracked, worn down, or has had root canal treatment. The purpose is structural: it stops the tooth splitting.
Common questions
- Is a same-day crown as good as a laboratory one?
- Both are well-established and both are strong. Which suits a particular tooth depends on where it sits, how much of it is left and the appearance required. We will tell you if a laboratory crown is the better choice for your tooth.
- How long does the appointment take?
- Longer than a filling — plan for a substantial part of a morning or afternoon. Ask when you book and we will give you a realistic figure for your appointment rather than a general one.

Same-day crowns are custom dental crowns designed and placed during a single dental appointment. Instead of sending impressions to an outside lab, CEREC technology allows your crown to be made right in our office. This process saves time while still focusing on comfort and function.
Dental crowns are often recommended when a tooth has extensive damage that a filling cannot address. This may include fractures or teeth that have undergone root canal therapy . Crowns can also improve the shape and appearance of teeth that are worn or uneven. Same-day crowns make this process faster without changing the purpose of the treatment. Dr. Ruelas will evaluate your specific needs to determine if a crown is right for you.
Benefits of Choosing Same-Day Crowns
There are various advantages to trusting same-day crowns if you have a busy schedule. One of the main benefits is convenience, since treatment is completed in one visit rather than two or more. You also avoid wearing a temporary crown that may feel unstable. A CEREC crown is designed to blend naturally with surrounding teeth so that you feel confident in its appearance. Overall, same-day crowns provide a practical way to restore your smile while respecting your time.
CEREC uses digital scanning to capture a detailed image of your tooth without messy impression materials. This digital model is used to design your crown with precision and accuracy. Once the design is complete, your crown is milled from a solid ceramic block while you wait. The final step is bonding the crown securely to your tooth, all during the same appointment. CEREC crowns combine modern technology with a streamlined process to give you the restorative results you deserve.
