Same Day Dental Crowns
When a tooth needs the strength and protection of a crown, same-day dental crowns offer a more efficient way to restore damaged, worn, or weakened teeth without the need for multiple appointments or a temporary crown in between. Many patients are relieved to know it may be possible to have it completed in just one visit.
At Accent, we use modern CEREC technology to design, create, and fit porcelain crowns made in the dentist office in a single appointment where appropriate. The aim is to restore the tooth with a result that feels strong, looks natural, and fits comfortably, while making the process more convenient and streamlined
-
A same day crown is a custom-made porcelain crown made in the dentist office - it is designed, milled, and fitted in one appointment.
Rather than taking traditional impressions and sending the case to an external laboratory, the cerec crown is made on site using digital technology.
This allows the tooth to be restored in a way that is:
Efficient
Precise
Natural-looking
Completed without a temporary crown in many cases
For the right situation, it can be a very convenient option.
-
Same Day Crowns made in the dentist office are often used when a tooth needs more protection than a filling can provide, but can still be restored with a well-fitting ceramic crown.
This may be appropriate for teeth that are:
Broken or chipped
Worn down
Heavily filled
Weakened after root canal treatment
Structurally compromised and needing extra support
They are also called cerec crowns. We will assess whether a same day crown is the best option for your tooth and your bite.
-
The treatment is designed to be efficient, but still carefully planned. Once the tooth is prepared, digital scans are taken and used to design the new crown. The crown is then milled on site and fitted during the same visit.
This usually involves:
Preparing the tooth
Taking digital scans
Designing the crown
Milling it in practice
Fitting and adjusting it for comfort and bite
The result is a streamlined process that avoids the need to come back for a second fitting appointment.
What Makes the Result Look Natural:
A Same Day Crown should not only protect the tooth, it should also blend in comfortably with the rest of the smile.The shape, shade, and fit all matter in creating a result that feels seamless.
We pay close attention to:
Colour matching
Tooth shape and contour
Bite fit and comfort
The way the crown sits within the smile
Long-term function and durability
The aim is a restoration that feels stable, looks refined, and works well in everyday life.
-
For many patients, the biggest advantage is convenience. Ceramic crowns made in the dentist office save you time.Completing the treatment in one visit means less disruption and no need to manage a temporary crown between appointments.
Patients often appreciate:
One appointment instead of two
No temporary crown in between
A more efficient treatment experience
Digital rather than traditional impressions
Restoring the tooth sooner
It can be particularly helpful for busy patients who want a high-quality result with fewer visits.
-
Every smile is different, which is why every treatment begins with a personalised consultation.
