When you’re juggling work, family, and a full schedule, the last thing you want is to wait weeks to restore a damaged tooth. That’s where same-day crowns at North Austin Dentistry come in. Thanks to advanced CEREC® technology, you can walk into our office with a dental concern—and walk out the same day with a fully restored, natural-looking smile.
Let’s explore how same-day crowns work, how they save you time, and why they’ve become a game-changer for patients who value both efficiency and quality care.
What Are Same-Day Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged tooth, strengthening it and restoring its appearance and function. Traditionally, crowns required multiple appointments and temporary restorations. But with same-day crowns, we use advanced digital tools to complete the entire process—from imaging to final placement—in just one visit.
At North Austin Dentistry, we use CEREC® technology (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) to design and mill your crown on-site, giving you a permanent solution in about two hours or less.
How the Same-Day Crown Process Works
The process begins with a digital scan of your tooth—no putty impressions or uncomfortable trays. Using precise 3D imaging, we capture every detail of your tooth and surrounding bite. That data is then used to design your crown digitally, which is milled from a high-quality block of porcelain right here in our office.
Once the crown is created, we check the fit, make any final adjustments, and bond it into place—all during a single appointment. The result? A durable, beautiful crown that blends seamlessly with your natural smile.
Why Choose Same-Day Crowns?
Save Time Without Sacrificing Quality
Instead of scheduling multiple appointments spread over several weeks, you get everything done in one day. That means fewer disruptions to your routine, fewer trips to the dentist, and more time doing what matters most.
No Temporary Crowns
With traditional crowns, you often leave your first visit wearing a temporary crown that can feel bulky or unstable. Same-day crowns eliminate this step entirely—your permanent crown is created and placed right away.
More Comfortable Experience
Digital scanning is quick, accurate, and much more comfortable than traditional molds. No gooey impression material. No gag reflex triggers. Just fast, precise imaging that improves fit and reduces adjustments.
High-Quality Aesthetics
We craft your crown from durable porcelain that mimics natural enamel. It’s color-matched to your smile and shaped with attention to detail, giving you a result that feels and looks completely natural.
Ideal for Busy Professionals and Families
Whether you’re heading back to work, attending school functions, or managing a full household, same-day crowns help you get the care you need without long delays. The ability to diagnose, restore, and finish treatment in one appointment makes it easier to prioritize your oral health—even on a tight schedule.
What to Expect After Your Appointment
One of the biggest advantages of same-day crowns is how quickly you can return to normal. Most patients experience little to no discomfort after their appointment and can eat, speak, and smile with confidence almost immediately.
Since we use digital tools to ensure a precise fit, the likelihood of needing further adjustments is low. However, if anything feels off, we’re just a phone call away.
Are Same-Day Crowns Right for You?
If you have a damaged tooth due to decay, wear, or trauma—or if you’ve recently had a root canal—you may be a good candidate for a same-day crown. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your oral health, explain your options, and help you decide if same-day treatment is the best choice for your needs.
