What to Expect from Same-Day Crowns at Cary Implant and General Dentistry
If you’ve ever needed a dental crown, you may remember the hassle: messy impressions, temporary crowns, multiple visits and weeks of waiting. At Cary Implant and General Dentistry, we believe your time is just as important as your smile. That’s why we offer same-day dental crowns using state-of-the-art CEREC technology—a fast, comfortable and highly precise solution for restoring damaged teeth in just one visit.
What Are Same-Day Crowns?
Same-day crowns are custom-made ceramic restorations that cover and protect damaged, decayed or worn teeth. Unlike traditional crowns that require two or more visits and a temporary crown, same-day crowns are created and placed in a single appointment.
Using CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics), our team designs, mills, and places your crown while you relax in the dental chair—no goopy impressions, no second visit and no waiting weeks for a lab.
How the Process Works
Here’s what you can expect during your same-day crown appointment at our Cary, NC, office:
-
Digital Scanning: We begin with a quick, comfortable 3D scan of your mouth using an intraoral scanner—no trays or molds needed.
-
Digital Design: Using advanced software, your crown is custom-designed to match your bite, shape and natural tooth color.
-
In-House Milling: The design is sent to our CEREC milling machine, which crafts your crown from a durable ceramic block in about 15–20 minutes.
-
Fitting and Bonding: Once milled, your dentist will ensure a perfect fit and bond the crown in place—no temporary needed.
The entire visit typically lasts about two hours, and you’ll walk out with a fully restored, natural-looking tooth.
Who Can Benefit from Same-Day Crowns?
Same-day crowns are a great option for busy professionals, parents or anyone who values convenience without compromising quality. They’re ideal for patients with:
-
Cracked or broken teeth
-
Large fillings that need replacement
-
Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment
-
Cosmetic concerns like misshapen or discolored teeth
Our patients love the efficiency and comfort of this modern alternative to traditional crowns—and the fact that they only need to take time off once!
