What Are Same-Day Crowns? A Fast & Durable Solution
Same-day crowns are a modern tooth restoration option that eliminates the need for multiple visits. Traditional dental crown procedures typically require temporary crowns and weeks of waiting. With CEREC crowns, we create your dental cap in-house using computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology.
Key Benefits of Same-Day Crowns
- Instant results with a permanent crown in one visit
- Precise fit using digital scanning for a comfortable feel
- Natural appearance with high-quality porcelain crowns
- Long-lasting durability with ceramic dental crowns
- There's no need for messy impressions or temporary crowns
Types of Dental Crowns: Choosing the Best Material for You
There are several types of dental crowns, each offering unique benefits. Dr. Maria Wytko will help determine the best option based on your needs and budget.
Popular Materials for Dental Crowns
- Porcelain Crowns: Natural-looking and ideal for front teeth
- Ceramic Dental Crowns: Metal-free and great for patients with allergies
- Zirconia Crowns: Extremely durable and resistant to wear
- Gold Crowns: Long-lasting and highly durable
- Metal Crowns: Made from strong alloys for extra strength
- Resin Crowns: A more affordable but less durable option

How Much Do Dental Crowns Cost? Payment & Insurance Options
One of the most common questions is, “How much do dental crowns cost?” The price depends on the material used, the complexity of the dental crown installation, and whether additional procedures, like a root canal and crown, are needed.
Many dental insurance plans cover dental crowns, especially if deemed medically necessary. We accept most insurance plans and offer flexible payment options to ensure you receive affordable dental crowns.
Dental Crowns vs. Veneers: Which is Better for You?
Both dental crowns and veneers improve the appearance of your teeth, but they serve different purposes.
| Feature | Dental Crowns | Veneers |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Restores damaged teeth | Enhances cosmetic appearance |
| Coverage | Covers the entire tooth | Covers only the front surface |
| Durability | Extremely strong | Less durable than crowns |
| Best For | Broken, weak, or decayed teeth | Mild discoloration or small chips |
If you need tooth replacement or tooth enamel protection, same-day dental crowns may be your best option.
How to Take Care of Your New Dental Crown
Proper care ensures your dental crown lasts as long as possible. Here’s how to maintain your tooth restoration:
- Brush and floss daily using a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste
- Avoid hard foods like nuts, ice, and hard candy to prevent cracking
- Schedule regular dental visits to monitor and maintain your crown
- Wear a mouthguard if you grind your teeth to avoid damage
With good care, dental crowns can last 10–15 years or longer.
