Why choose a same-day crown?
A traditional crown usually means two visits, a messy impression and a few weeks in a temporary crown. A same-day crown avoids all three. It is a good choice when a tooth is cracked, heavily filled or worn, or has had root canal treatment.
An onlay is a smaller version that covers only the weakened part of the tooth and keeps more of your natural tooth. We will tell you which is better for each tooth. Same-day crowns are part of how we treat cracked teeth and tooth wear.
Not every case suits a same-day crown. Some front teeth and larger cosmetic cases are better made by a dental laboratory, and we will be honest when that is the case. You can read more about our equipment on our technology page.
