Why Choose Same Day Crowns?
Conventional crown procedures typically require multiple visits to the dentist, with temporary crowns placed. At the same time, you wait for the permanent one to be fabricated in a dental laboratory. This process can be time-consuming and inconvenient, often requiring patients to take time off work or rearrange their schedules.

How Do Same Day Crowns Work?
Our Same Day Crown procedure utilizes advanced Glidewell® technology, a computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) system. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:
- Consultation: During your initial consultation, our dentist will thoroughly examine your tooth and determine if the Same Day Crown is the best treatment option for your specific needs. We will discuss the procedure, answer any questions you may have, and address your cosmetic preferences.
- Tooth Preparation: Our dentist will carefully prepare your tooth for crown placement by removing any decay or damaged tooth structure. Local anesthesia is used to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
- Digital Impression: We utilize advanced digital scanning technology to capture a precise 3D image of your prepared tooth and surrounding teeth. This eliminates the need for uncomfortable traditional impressions.
- Crown Design: Using the digital impression, our in-house computer software allows our dentist to design your custom-made crown for a perfect fit and natural appearance.
- Crown Milling: Our onsite milling machine utilizes the design to craft your crown from a strong, biocompatible ceramic material while you wait comfortably in our dental chair.
- Crown Placement & Finalization: Our dentist will carefully place the crown on your prepared tooth once it is milled, ensuring proper fit and function. Any adjustments will be made for optimal comfort and aesthetics. Finally, the crown is securely bonded to your tooth.

Dental Crown FAQs
-
What’s the Difference Between Same-Day and Traditional Crowns?
Traditional crowns are lab-made, time-consuming creations, while same-day crowns, crafted in-house using the Glidewell machine, offer a swift solution. The Glidewell combines CAD and CAM technology to generate a digital model of your new crown, which is then expertly carved from porcelain and fixed to your tooth in a single visit.
-
Are Glidewell crowns better than porcelain?
Porcelain crowns typically boast a more natural appearance and excel in color matching compared to Glidewell crowns. Conversely, Glidewell crowns exhibit superior strength and durability over traditional porcelain counterparts—a crucial advantage, particularly for individuals prone to frequent teeth grinding.
-
How long do Glidewell crowns last?
On average, Glidewell same-day crowns have 10 to 15 years of lifespan. However, they can endure for up to 30 years with proper care and attention. Just like any investment you want to prolong, diligent maintenance is key to maximizing their longevity.
