Welcome to Tartan Dental, where cutting-edge technology meets exceptional dental care. Our same-day crowns service is designed to provide a convenient and efficient solution for restoring your smile. Say goodbye to multiple dental appointments and lengthy waiting times—experience the convenience of same-day crowns at Tartan Dental.
What Are Same-Day Crowns?
Same-day crowns, also known as CEREC crowns (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics), are custom dental crowns created and placed in a single dental visit. Unlike traditional lab-fabricated crowns, which can take weeks to produce, same-day crowns are crafted using advanced CAD/CAM technology right in our office, allowing you to leave with a fully functional and aesthetically pleasing crown in just one appointment.
The Technology Behind Same-Day Crowns
At Tartan Dental, we are committed to staying at the forefront of dental innovation. Our same-day crown system utilizes state-of-the-art CAD/CAM technology, enabling us to create precise and high-quality crowns on-site. Here’s how it works:
Digital Impressions
Instead of messy traditional impressions, we use an intraoral scanner to capture detailed 3D images of your teeth and the surrounding structures. This digital impression ensures accuracy and eliminates discomfort, making the process more pleasant for you.
Virtual Design
Once we have the digital impression, our skilled dentists use specialized software to design your custom crown. We consider your unique dental anatomy and desired aesthetic outcome, ensuring a natural and seamless fit with your existing teeth.
In-house Milling
With the design completed, our advanced milling unit, known as the Glidewell Fastmill, precisely carves your crown from a high-quality ceramic block. The process is fast, efficient, and highly accurate, resulting in a crown that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Immediate Placement
After milling, we carefully place and bond the newly fabricated crown to your prepared tooth. Our dentists take great care to ensure a perfect fit and alignment, allowing you to leave our office with a fully functional and aesthetically pleasing smile.

Time-Saving Convenience

Accurate and Precise Fit
The use of CAD/CAM technology ensures a highly accurate fit for your crown. The digital impressions and virtual design eliminate human errors, resulting in a crown that perfectly matches your natural teeth.
Natural Aesthetics
Our same-day crowns are made from high-quality ceramic materials that mimic the appearance of your natural teeth. The result is a beautifully blended crown that enhances your smile discreetly.
Durable and Long-Lasting
Thanks to the quality materials and precision milling process, our same-day crowns are durable and built to last. With proper care and maintenance, your crown can serve you well for many years to come.
No Temporary Crowns

Frequently Asked Questions
How do same-day crowns work?
The same-day crown process begins with a digital impression of your teeth using an intraoral scanner. This digital impression is used to design a custom crown with specialized software. The design is then sent to an in-house milling unit, which carves the crown from a ceramic block. Once the crown is ready, it is immediately placed and bonded to your prepared tooth, providing you with a fully functional and natural-looking restoration in just one appointment.
Are same-day crowns as durable as traditional crowns?
Yes, same-day crowns are made from high-quality ceramic materials that are just as durable as traditional lab-fabricated crowns. With proper care and maintenance, same-day crowns can last for many years.
How long does the same-day crown procedure take?
The same-day crown procedure typically takes about 1 to 2 hours from start to finish. Thanks to the efficiency of CAD/CAM technology, you can leave the dental office with your permanent crown the same day as your appointment.
Are same-day crowns more expensive than traditional crowns?
While same-day crowns may have a slightly higher upfront cost due to the advanced technology involved, they can actually be more cost-effective in the long run. With no need for multiple appointments and temporary crowns, same-day crowns can save you time and potential additional costs.
Can anyone get a same-day crown?
In most cases, same-day crowns are suitable for patients who need a dental crown to restore a damaged or decayed tooth. However, certain situations may require the use of traditional lab-fabricated crowns. Our skilled dentists at Tartan Dental will conduct a thorough examination to determine if you are a candidate for same-day crowns.
How long do same-day crowns last?
With proper care and regular dental checkups, same-day crowns can last for many years. Maintaining good oral hygiene practices, such as brushing, flossing, and attending routine dental appointments, will help prolong the lifespan of your crown.
Will I experience any discomfort during the same-day crown procedure?
The same-day crown procedure is minimally invasive, and any discomfort is typically minimal and temporary. Our team at Tartan Dental will ensure that you are comfortable throughout the process, and local anesthesia will be used to numb the area during crown placement.
Can I eat normally with a same-day crown?
Yes, you can eat normally with a same-day crown. Once the crown is bonded to your tooth, it becomes a permanent and strong restoration that can withstand normal chewing forces. However, it’s essential to avoid biting on hard objects or using your teeth to open packages, as this could potentially damage the crown.
We can’t wait to provide you and your family with an amazing dental experience.
