All about same-day crowns

A crown or (cap) is a cover that fits over a tooth that has been damaged by decay, broken, root canal treated, badly stained or misshapen. A crown looks and feels like a natural tooth and restores the strength and function of your tooth. CEREC same-day crowns require no impressions. We will design and create your crown and permanently bond it to your tooth all in one visit. No temporary crowns required!

What are the advantages of same-day crowns?

Before the technology came around, getting a crown took 2 to 3 appointments and required a notoriously uncomfortable temporary crown. Thanks to new techniques and equipment, getting your crown is easier than ever.

    Same-day crowns offer the following extra advantages:
  • No messy impressions. We use a highly accurate and comfortable digital 3D scan.
  • Complete treatment in as little as one visit.
  • Less drilling required. We can preserve more of your natural tooth structure.

Same-day crown treatment

Examining and preparing the tooth

During the appointment, we will examine your tooth. If the tooth is affected by decay, we will remove the damaged areas and clean it. If your tooth has stress fractures, a crown will help protect the tooth from breaking along the fracture. Then we will shape your natural tooth so the crown fits comfortably overtop.

Your crown custom made on site

Once your tooth has been prepared, we’ll use a 3D scanner to take a highly accurate digital scan of your tooth. We no longer require impressions or the use of trays. This 3D scan is used to create a digital model of your new crown. Your porcelain crown is made while you wait with our in-house machine.

Placement and polish

Your new crown will be bonded or cemented in place right away. No second appointment or temporary crown is needed. Your dentist will make a few final adjustments and ask how it feels to make sure it’s a perfect fit. After a final polish, your new crown is ready to go!

Contact us today

to schedule an initial consultation & exam.

Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and, most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Needing a crown after a root canal depends highly on the location of the tooth in the mouth—teeth towards the back of the mouth like molars and premolars are needed more for chewing, and generally require crowns, where incisors or canines which aren't needed for chewing don't always require crowns.
One difference between a crown vs filling is that in a crown is much more durable on a biting surface. Repeated pressure from chewing or from habitual clenching can cause fillings on the biting surfaces of molars to chip or come loose. A crown, being a single unbroken surface from gumline to gumline, is designed to take much more force over a longer period of time.
Dental crowns play two important roles in your mouth. First and foremost, they completely restore the function of your tooth which means you can close your teeth and chew without pain or discomfort or without having to compensate by chewing on one side. Secondarily (but also important!) crowns are designed to blend in with your natural teeth. That means they are coloured and contoured to match your aesthetic. In fact, sometimes people forget altogether which tooth is the crown.
A post isn’t quite a dental implant (which is surgically implanted in the jaw bone) but it is exactly what it sounds like: a medical-grade post that may be cemented into a prepared root-canal to reinforce the base and core of a dental crown. Dental posts are only used if there isn’t enough healthy tooth left over to reliably hold a crown.
Depending on the state of your tooth, getting a crown can feel a bit like getting a filling. We take our time to patiently numb the area and then use freezing as necessary so the preparation of your tooth isn’t painful. You may feel a little sensitivity or some soreness in the gums around the tooth for a short period of time following your procedure. If you feel anxious about visiting the dentist, let us know! We would love to put your mind at ease and make your experience as comfortable as possible.
In most cases, dental crowns can last up to 15 years. However, if they are properly maintained, they can last for 25-30 years.
A dental crown is maintained just like a natural tooth. Regular brushing and flossing keep your dental crown - and the supporting gum around it - healthy and clean. Regular cleanings and checkups at your dentist are essential to your oral health.

    The best. I have been a patient here for a couple years, and I always have been treated well. The procedures are quick, painless, and fairly priced. Any practice will take advantage of benefits, this is nothing new, regardless of where you go, so ignore other reviews calling this place a scam. When I did have to pay out of pocket, the price was fair and what I expected. I have done cleanings, fillings, and X-rays at this clinic, all leaving me happy with the service provided. Garth and Ben are fantastic, you can tell they really know what they are doing. Thanks again, see you next time!

    Most people don't like going to the dentist but the staff at Sheppard Village Dental create such a positive experience for their clients, you can't help but have a pleasant time! From reception to the hygienist to the dentist, every single person I had the pleasure of interacting with have been nothing but helpful and kind (and funny). I haven't been to the dentist in years and I knew I needed some work done but I had budget constraints. Their team was very understanding, creating an outline for me on what to prioritize and even offered payment plans for the services I had to pay out of pocket. Mel was my hygienist and she was amazing, very transparent and informative. She was in high spirits at 7am on a Saturday when the weather was -25 degrees! She made light hearted conversation and finished my cleaning painlessly and faster than I expected. Dr. Madhosh was my dentist and he was amazing too! He was very delicate and thorough, always making sure I was never in pain or discomfort. Any feelings of intimidation I had went right out the window as he cracked a couple jokes, I felt very comfortable and not judged for avoiding the dentist in previous years. Thank you Sheppard Village Dental for making my trips to the dentist the most enjoyable experience, I look forward to continuing my dental journey with you!

    My experience with Sheppard Village Dental was by far the best ever experience that I have encountered being at a dental office. They are so experienced and down to earth. They made me feel so comfortable from when I arrived. Jennifer informed me of all that was going to be done. I got my x-rays done followed by a cleaning by Rochelle. To the point during the cleaning, I was falling asleep at times. That is how relaxed I was. I was also introduced to staff members along with the Doctor who was so down to earth. Had me laughing up a storm. I got referred to this place through my colleagues and I would say it was the best decision I made with choosing a Dental office. Great place to be for your dental needs. Great job well done guys!
