What Are Same Day Crowns?
Same day crowns are permanent dental restorations created and placed during a single appointment. Using CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing) technology and digital impressions, we design, mill, and bond the crown right here in our office — no off-site lab required.
Benefits include:
- No messy impressions
- No temporary crown
- No second visit
- High precision fit
- Strong and natural-looking ceramic materials
When Is a Crown Needed?
A dental crown is a protective cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth. You may need one if you have:
- A cracked or chipped tooth
- Large decay not repairable with a filling
- A tooth that recently had a root canal
- A worn-down or fractured filling
- A tooth that’s structurally compromised
- Cosmetic concerns (shape, size, or color)
If a traditional crown is more appropriate for your situation, we also offer custom ceramic and porcelain crowns.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Here’s how the same day crown process works:
- Tooth preparation – We remove any damaged material and shape the tooth.
- Digital scan – Our iTero scanner captures a 3D image of your tooth.
- Crown design & milling – We custom-design your crown and create it using in-office milling technology.
- Placement & bonding – The crown is placed, polished, and bonded — all in a single visit.
You’ll leave the office with a fully restored tooth — no temporary crown, no waiting.
Does Medi-Cal Cover Same Day Crowns?
Yes — Medi-Cal covers crowns when medically necessary, including for teeth weakened by decay, trauma, or prior root canal treatment.
