In a word? Yes!
Thanks to modern digital dentistry, many patients can now receive a custom crown in just one appointment. At Palatine Complete Dental, Dr. Michael Unti and our expert team use advanced computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology to design, fabricate, and place durable, natural-looking crowns right in the office. This eliminates the need for temporary crowns, messy impressions, and multiple visits, giving patients a faster and more comfortable restorative experience.
How Same-Day Crowns Work
Same-day crowns rely on leverage digital scanning and in-office milling to streamline the entire process. Instead of taking traditional impressions, Dr. Unti uses a handheld digital scanner to capture an accurate 3D model of your tooth. This model is uploaded directly into specialized design software, allowing for fabrication of a custom crown that matches the shape and color of your natural teeth and fits seamlessly into your bite.
Once the design is ready, the crown is created on-site using a high-strength ceramic block. The milling unit produces a precise restoration in under an hour, which Dr. Unti then adjusts and bonds in place. The result is a crown that looks and feels like a natural tooth. All in a single visit!
The Convenience of Same-Day Crowns
Same-day crowns also reduce the disruptions that come with traditional crown placement. There’s no waiting weeks for a dental lab, no dealing with a temporary crown coming loose, and no need to rearrange your schedule for a second appointment.
