What Are The Benefits of Same-Day Crowns?
- Same-day crowns are the most convenient option. You won’t need a temporary crown or have to wait weeks for the permanent one to be returned from the lab. Also, you just have one dentist visit.
- Additionally, you will enjoy increased comfort. If you’re concerned about discomfort and crowning teeth, remember that same-day crowns require fewer injections than traditional crowns. In addition, your dentist can create a crown model using a computer scanner instead of the unpleasant impression putty.
- You also have a better chance of avoiding future tooth decay. This is because temporary crowns that do not fit well and allow bacteria to enter the tooth more easily are avoided.
How Do Traditional & Same-Day Crowns Costs Differ?
If you’re deciding between same-day and regular crowns, you’re likely wondering which option is more costly. Sometimes, the cost of ceramic crowns created at the dentist’s office or in a lab is comparable.
However, traditional crowns made of metal or porcelain can be more costly. Porcelain crowns are estimated to cost between $800-$3,000, while metal crowns range in price from $850-$2,500.
Your out-of-pocket costs will ultimately be determined by our fees and your insurance benefits. You can typically obtain a cost estimator from a dental insurance company or by contacting your dental clinic directly.
However, you may save money with a same-day crown because one dental appointment is less expensive than two. Depending on your insurance plan, this might represent the difference between one and two copays.

What is a dental crown?
A dental crown is a custom-fitted covering or “cap” that encases the damaged tooth’s surface, restoring it to its optimal shape and size and improving functionality. They are also used with implants to replace missing teeth and can support bridges.
Dental crowns have many applications. The first is to be installed over a damaged tooth to cap the existing structure, which restores the damaged tooth so it can be used normally. Crowns can also be attached to dental implants to replace missing teeth; these implants will be surgically inserted into the jawbone and serve as the root for the tooth. This procedure keeps the crown steady and secure.
Additionally, dental crowns may also be used to provide extra support for dental bridges. They do not require any special treatment and can be brushed and flossed as normal.

How does a CEREC® dental restoration procedure work?
The CEREC® dental restoration procedure begins with a detailed scan of your damaged tooth using advanced digital imaging technology. This dentist reviews the images on a computer screen and then creates a precise 3D model of the crown, which is milled right in our office. The crown is made to match the natural color of your teeth, ensuring a seamless blend. Once milled, the crown is tested for fit, adjusted as necessary, and bonded to your tooth, all within the same day.
