RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY

Same-Day Crowns — Full Restoration in One Visit

CEREC technology eliminates temporaries, waiting periods, and multiple appointments

When a tooth is cracked, heavily decayed, or structurally compromised, a dental crown is often the most effective way to restore it. Same-day crown technology has changed everything — design, mill, and place in a single 90-minute visit.

THE PROCESS

From Damaged Tooth to Restored Smile

Digital Scan

Our intraoral scanner captures a digital impression of your tooth with microscopic accuracy. This data is instantly sent to our milling machine.

Digital scanning is faster and more comfortable than traditional impression trays, eliminating the gag reflex many patients experience.

The scan creates a precise 3D model that guides every step of crown design and fabrication.

This immediate digital capture ensures the restoration will fit perfectly from the start.

Design on Screen

Using specialized software, Dr. Raj Singh designs your custom crown on screen, adjusting shape, contour, and contact points.

The design is compared against your natural teeth to ensure color match, size proportions, and natural appearance.

You can see a preview of your restoration before milling begins, ensuring your expectations align with the design.

This digital design process adds precision that traditional lab fabrication cannot match.

Milling

Our in-house CAD/CAM milling machine carves your custom crown from a ceramic block while you wait.

The milling process takes 15-20 minutes, creating a monolithic (single-piece) crown stronger than traditional layered designs.

High-quality ceramic ensures durability and a natural appearance that matches your tooth perfectly.

There's no waiting weeks for a lab or dealing with temporary restorations that feel uncomfortable.

Fit & Bonding

Dr. Raj Singh reviews the finished crown and makes final adjustments to ensure perfect fit and correct bite.

The crown is bonded to your tooth with tooth-colored resin cement that seals the preparation and prevents sensitivity.

Polishing creates a smooth, natural surface that feels and looks identical to your natural teeth.

Same-day crowns are fully functional and beautiful immediately after treatment.

WHY SAME-DAY MATTERS

The Advantages of CEREC

Eliminating the second appointment and the temporary crown improves both convenience and clinical outcomes. Temporary crowns can shift, crack, or allow bacteria to enter the prepared tooth during the waiting period. With same-day placement, the permanent restoration is bonded immediately — sealing the tooth and restoring its strength in one session.

For patients with busy schedules or those who prefer fewer dental visits, same-day crowns offer a practical advantage without compromising on quality. The ceramic material is strong, stain-resistant, and colour-matched to surrounding teeth — making it both a functional and aesthetic solution.

Extensive Decay

A tooth with extensive decay that cannot be adequately restored with a filling requires a crown to restore its structural integrity and protect it from future decay.

Key Details Better long-term outcomes than large fillings

Post-Root Canal

A tooth that has undergone root canal therapy needs protection. A crown strengthens the tooth and prevents it from fracturing during chewing.

About Same-Day Crowns

Common concerns answered

From preparation through bonding, the process typically takes about 90 minutes. This includes the scan, design, milling, and placement in your mouth.

Yes. Modern CEREC materials — particularly zirconia — are extremely strong and as durable as or more durable than traditional crown materials. They have been used successfully for over 20 years.

No. The same-day crown is the final, permanent restoration. It is stronger and more durable than any temporary crown, and it is bonded immediately so it functions like a natural tooth from day one.

Adjustments can be made chairside during or immediately after the appointment. Any marginal or contact adjustments are made before bonding, so the crown fits perfectly from the start.
