Same Day Crowns
Get a custom crown in just one visit with our advanced same-day crown technology.
Introduction
Traditional crown procedures require multiple appointments and weeks of waiting, but with same-day crown technology at Northcote Family Dentist, you can walk in with a damaged tooth and leave with a beautiful, permanent crown – all in a single visit. Using state-of-the-art digital scanning and milling technology, we design and create your custom crown right here in our office while you wait. This fast, convenient tooth restoration is ideal for busy patients who want quality dental care without the hassle of multiple visits or temporary crowns. Same-day crowns are just as strong, durable, and natural-looking as laboratory-made crowns, but with the added benefit of immediate results.
Procedure Overview
Your same-day crown appointment begins with preparing your tooth – removing any decay and shaping it to accommodate the crown. Instead of messy impressions, we use a digital scanner to capture 3D images of your tooth and surrounding teeth. This digital impression is instantly sent to our in-office milling machine, where your custom crown is precisely carved from a solid block of high-quality ceramic material. The entire design and milling process takes about 1-2 hours. While your crown is being made, you can relax in our comfortable waiting area. Once the crown is ready, we carefully fit it, make any necessary adjustments, and permanently bond it to your tooth. The result is a perfectly fitted, natural-looking crown completed in just one appointment.
Aftercare Instructions
Your new crown should function just like a natural tooth. There may be some minor sensitivity for the first few days, which is normal. Avoid chewing extremely hard foods or ice, and maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice daily and flossing around the crown. If you grind your teeth at night, consider wearing a nightguard to protect your crown. Attend regular dental check-ups so we can monitor your crown and ensure it remains in excellent condition. With proper care, same-day crowns can last 10-15 years or longer.
