Same day crowns FAQs
 Same-day crowns are dental restorations that are designed, fabricated, and placed in a single visit to replace a damaged or weakened tooth. Instead of needing multiple appointments and temporary crowns, you leave the office with your permanent crown fitted that same day. At Harbor Dental Clinic they use advanced digital impression and in-office milling technology to achieve this in just one appointment. This means you save time and skip the inconvenience of waiting for a lab-fabricated crown.
 First your dentist evaluates your tooth and confirms you’re a good candidate, then a digital scan is taken of the prepared tooth, the crown is designed on-screen and milled on-site, and finally it’s fitted, adjusted, and cemented in place—all in one appointment. Harbor Dental Clinic states that this process typically takes about two hours from start to finish. Thanks to the digital workflow, you don’t need to wear a temporary crown nor wait weeks for restoration. You leave the appointment with a permanent, natural-looking crown ready to function.
The process begins with selecting a composite resin color that closely matches your natural tooth color. Then, the surface of the tooth is roughened and a conditioning liquid applied to help the bonding material adhere. The tooth-colored, putty-like resin is then applied, molded, and smoothed to the desired shape. An ultraviolet light or laser is used to harden the material, after which it is trimmed, shaped, and polished to match the rest of the tooth surface.
Choosing a same-day crown offers the convenience of fewer visits, eliminates the need for temporary restorations, and uses precise digital impressions for a better fit and aesthetic match. Harbor Dental Clinic highlights that these crowns save you time, provide immediate results, and reduce the risk of complications from temporary crowns. Faster turnaround means less disruption to your schedule and fewer chances for errors between lab and dentist. You walk out with your smile restored and a strong, well-fitting crown
Most patients needing a crown due to decay, fracture, or large filling can be evaluated for same-day crown treatment, but suitability depends on tooth condition, alignment, and amount of remaining tooth structure. Harbor Dental Clinic mentions that they will assess whether you’re a good candidate before proceeding. In cases of very severe damage, deep bite issues or certain anatomical constraints, a traditional crown might still be recommended. Your dentist will clearly explain if same-day technology is suitable or if another approach is wiser.
After the crown is placed, you’ll typically experience minimal discomfort, and your dentist will check that the fit, bite and appearance feel correct. Good care includes brushing twice daily, flossing around the crown, avoiding very hard or sticky foods initially, and attending follow-up exams to monitor the crown’s condition. Harbor Dental Clinic emphasizes that although the crown is permanent, monitoring and maintenance ensure it lasts optimally. With proper hygiene and check-ups, your same-day crown can serve you for many years to come.
