No Temporary Crowns. No Waiting. No Problem.
Traditional crowns require at least two visits and a few weeks between visits. With CEREC, we skip the temporary crown and get right to the final result. It’s not just faster—it’s better.
Benefits of CEREC Same-Day Crowns in Tumwater:
- Speed: Complete your crown in just one visit, often within a few hours.
- Comfort: We use a digital intraoral scanner to say goodbye to messy impressions.
- Precision: Our CAD/CAM software designs your crown with extreme accuracy.
- Strength: The ceramic material mimics natural tooth enamel for durability and aesthetics.
- Convenience: No need to schedule a second appointment or wear a temporary.
We don’t compromise comfort or quality for convenience. With this approach, you get both.
How We Craft Your Crown in a Single Appointment
We use a fully digital workflow that streamlines every step from start to finish. Here’s what to expect when you visit us for a same-day crown.
Step 1: We Prepare the Tooth
The dentist gently removes damaged or decayed portions of the tooth, just as with a traditional crown. We keep you comfortable with nitrous oxide and other amenities like pillows and water to keep you at ease.
Step 2: We Capture Digital Images
We take high-resolution digital impressions using an intraoral scanner. This scanner replaces traditional molds and helps us gather precise details to create your crown. There is no discomfort, and there is no waiting.
Step 3: We Design the Crown
With CAD/CAM technology, we digitally design a crown that fits your tooth perfectly. The software allows us to customize the shape, color, and bite.
Step 4: We Mill the Crown On-Site
We create the crown immediately using our in-office milling unit and CEREC system. Our 3D printer and digital design tools ensure a snug, accurate fit.
Step 5: We Place and Polish the Crown
Once we check the fit and bite, we permanently cement the crown. We polish it to match your other teeth and make sure it feels great. You leave with your permanent crown—no second appointment needed.
When to Consider a Same-Day Crown
Same-day crowns restore teeth with damage that’s too extensive for a filling but not severe enough for extraction. We often recommend CEREC crowns for:
- Cracked or fractured teeth
- Large cavities that compromise tooth structure
- Worn-down teeth from grinding
- Teeth that have had root canal treatment
- Broken or old crowns needing replacement
Contact us if you feel pain when biting or notice a damaged tooth. We’ll evaluate your tooth and let you know if a same-day crown is appropriate.
