No Second Visit, No Temporary Crown
A traditional crown takes two appointments, a temporary crown worn for one to two weeks, and a second round of anesthesia. Same-day crown technology changes that. We scan your tooth, design the crown digitally, mill it in-house, and place it the same day, typically within two hours.
Everything Happens in One Place
From the initial scan to the finished crown, the entire process takes place at Sunrise Dental. There is no outside lab involved, which means no waiting, no follow-up appointment, and no temporary crown to manage in the meantime.
No Temporary Crown to Worry About
Temporary crowns are fragile. They can crack, come loose, or cause sensitivity while you wait for the permanent one. With same-day crowns, you skip the temporary entirely and leave with a finished, permanent restoration bonded in place.
The Same Quality as a Traditional Crown
Same-day crowns are milled from a solid block of high-strength ceramic, matched to the color of your surrounding teeth. The material is durable, natural-looking, and designed to last. You are not trading quality for convenience.

What Is a Dental Crown?
When Is a Crown Necessary?
A cavity too large for a filling to reliably restore the tooth
A cracked tooth where the crack extends into the structure of the tooth but has not reached the root
A tooth that has fractured and lost significant structure
A tooth following root canal treatment, which removes the inner pulp and leaves the tooth more brittle and vulnerable to fracture
A tooth with a large, failing filling that has compromised the remaining tooth structure
What to Expect When You Get a Same-Day Crown
Examination and preparation
Your doctor examines the tooth and takes digital X-rays to confirm that a crown is the appropriate treatment. The tooth is then prepared by removing any decay and reshaping the outer surface to create a stable foundation for the crown.
Digital scan
Instead of a physical impression, we use a digital scanner to capture a precise 3D image of the prepared tooth and surrounding teeth. The scan takes just a few minutes and is comfortable for patients who have a sensitive gag reflex.
Crown design
Using the digital scan, your doctor designs the crown on-screen, adjusting the shape, size, and fit to match your bite and surrounding teeth. The design is then sent directly to our in-house milling machine.
Milling
The crown is milled from a solid ceramic block in our office while you wait. The process typically takes 15 to 20 minutes.
Fitting and adjustment
Your doctor checks the crown for fit, bite, and appearance before bonding it in place. Minor adjustments are made chairside if needed to ensure the bite feels natural and comfortable.
Bonding
Once the fit is confirmed, the crown is bonded permanently to the tooth. You leave the same day with a finished, functional restoration.
