In the past, getting a dental crown meant multiple appointments, temporary crowns, and a waiting period that could stretch for weeks. But thanks to advanced CAD/CAM technology, you can now restore your smile in just one visit with same-day crowns—a treatment Dentherion proudly offers to patients who value both efficiency and aesthetics.
Here’s a step-by-step look at how the same-day crown process works and why it’s revolutionizing modern dentistry.
🦷 What Is a Same-Day Crown?
A same-day crown is a custom-made ceramic cap designed, milled, and bonded to your tooth in a single appointment. Using CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) or similar CAD/CAM systems, we eliminate the need for impressions, labs, and temporaries.
🕒 Step-by-Step: How the Process Works
1. Initial Examination & Diagnosis
Your dentist will examine the damaged, worn, or decayed tooth to determine if a crown is necessary. If you’re a good candidate for a same-day crown, the process begins immediately.
✔ Ideal for: Cracked teeth, large fillings, worn enamel, or post-root canal treatment.
2. Digital Scanning (No Impressions!)
Instead of using messy impression materials, we use a 3D intraoral scanner to capture a high-resolution digital model of your teeth and bite.
📸 Comfortable, precise, and fast—no gooey molds involved.
3. Crown Design (CAD Technology)
Your digital scan is uploaded into a computer where your dentist uses CAD software to design a crown that perfectly fits your tooth, bite, and natural anatomy.
🖥️ This allows for ultra-precise customization and optimal aesthetics.
4. On-Site Milling
Once your crown design is finalized, it’s sent to an in-house milling machine, which carves the crown from a solid ceramic block in about 15–20 minutes.
🔧 High-grade ceramic offers durability and a natural look that blends seamlessly with your smile.
5. Try-In & AdjustmentsThe newly milled crown is placed on your tooth to check the fit, shape, and color. Minor refinements are made chairside if necessary.
🪞 You’ll get to preview your final crown before it’s permanently placed.
6. Bonding the Crown
When everything looks perfect, your dentist will bond the crown using strong dental cement and cure it with light.
Restore your smile with speed, precision, and elegance—all in just one visit.
