Same Day Dental Crowns
That Fit Your Busy
Lakewood Lifestyle
Same Day Dental Crowns
Picture scheduling a single dental appointment and walking out with a permanent, custom-fitted crown that perfectly matches your natural teeth. As a cosmetic dentist in Lakewood, I understand how valuable your time is, especially when you're juggling work commitments, family responsibilities, and the demands of daily life. Traditional crown procedures require multiple visits spread over weeks, leaving you with uncomfortable temporary crowns that can break or fall out at the worst possible moments.
Same day dental crowns change everything. Using advanced CEREC technology, I design, create, and place your permanent crown in a single appointment lasting about two hours. No more missed work days, no more awkward temporary crowns, and no more anxiety about returning for a second procedure. You leave my office with a fully restored tooth that looks natural and functions perfectly.
Revolutionary Technology That Saves You Time
The magic happens through computer-aided design and manufacturing right in my Lakewood office. After preparing your tooth, I use a digital scanner to capture precise three-dimensional images of your tooth structure. This eliminates the need for messy impression materials that many patients find uncomfortable. The digital impressions are incredibly accurate, allowing me to design a crown that fits your bite perfectly and matches the exact color and shape of your surrounding teeth.
The CEREC milling unit then crafts your crown from a solid block of high-quality ceramic while you relax in the treatment room. You can watch Netflix, listen to music with noise-canceling headphones, or simply rest while your custom crown takes shape. The entire milling process takes about 15 minutes, and the ceramic material is incredibly durable – often stronger than your natural tooth enamel.
Once your crown is complete, I make any necessary adjustments to ensure perfect fit and comfort, then permanently bond it to your prepared tooth. The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research notes that modern ceramic crowns provide excellent durability and aesthetics, making them an ideal choice for both front and back teeth restoration.
What Makes Our Same Day Crown Service Special
My approach to same day crowns goes beyond just speed and convenience. I focus on creating restorations that enhance your overall smile harmony while addressing the specific function of the damaged tooth. Before beginning any work, I evaluate your bite, jaw alignment, and the relationship between all your teeth to ensure your new crown integrates seamlessly with your existing dental structure.
The ceramic materials I use offer exceptional color matching capabilities. I can replicate the subtle variations in shade and translucency that make your natural teeth unique. This attention to detail means your crown blends invisibly with your smile, and even you might forget which tooth was restored.
Same day crowns work beautifully for teeth damaged by decay, fractures, large fillings, or root canal treatment. They're also an excellent choice for cosmetic improvements when you want to change the shape, size, or color of a tooth that affects your confidence. The procedure is comfortable, with most patients experiencing minimal sensitivity afterward.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do same day dental crowns last?
Same day CEREC crowns typically last 15-20 years with proper care, similar to traditional lab-made crowns. The high-quality ceramic material resists staining and wear, maintaining its appearance and function for decades when you maintain good oral hygiene and regular dental visits.
Are same day crowns as strong as traditional crowns?
Yes, same day ceramic crowns are extremely durable and often stronger than traditional crowns. The solid ceramic construction and precise digital fit create a restoration that can withstand normal chewing forces while protecting the underlying tooth structure effectively.
Can you match the color of my existing teeth perfectly?
Absolutely. The CEREC system includes extensive shade matching capabilities, allowing me to replicate even subtle color variations in your natural teeth. I take multiple measurements under different lighting conditions to ensure your crown blends seamlessly with your smile.
What's the cost difference between same day and traditional crowns?
Same day crowns are typically comparable in cost to traditional crowns when you factor in the value of your time saved and elimination of temporary crown fees. I provide transparent pricing during consultation and discuss payment options that work with your budget.
Do same day crowns require special care after placement?
Same day crowns require the same care as your natural teeth – regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings. Avoid chewing ice or very hard objects, just as you would with natural teeth, to prevent chips or fractures.
Can all teeth receive same day crowns?
Most teeth are excellent candidates for same day crowns, particularly those needing full coverage restoration. During your evaluation, I assess factors like tooth position, bite forces, and aesthetic requirements to determine if same day crowns are the best option for your specific situation.
