Dental crowns have long been a reliable solution for restoring damaged teeth, but the traditional process often required multiple visits and temporary restorations. Thanks to advanced CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) technology, same-day crowns offer a convenient and efficient alternative. Instead of waiting weeks for a permanent crown, you can have a custom-made restoration placed in just one visit.
The Same-Day Crown Process
When you visit Dynamic Dentistry AZ for a same-day dental crown, we use digital technology to streamline every step of your treatment. After a thorough examination, our dentists will determine if a crown is the right solution for your needs. If so, the process will include:
- Digital Impressions: A highly detailed digital scan of your teeth replaces the need for traditional putty impressions, providing a more comfortable experience.
- 3D Design and Milling: Using advanced software, we design your custom crown and mill it from a high-quality, tooth-colored ceramic block.
- Precise Placement: Once your crown is ready, we will bond it securely to your tooth and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a comfortable fit.
This efficient process allows you to leave our office with a fully restored tooth in a matter of hours rather than weeks.
The Benefits of Same-Day Crowns
Choosing a same-day crown offers several advantages over traditional crowns, including:
- Time Savings: Completing your crown in a single appointment eliminates the need for multiple visits.
- No Temporary Crowns: Traditional crowns require a temporary restoration while the permanent one is created. With same-day crowns, you avoid this extra step.
- Precise Fit: Digital impressions ensure a highly accurate crown that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.
- Durability and Aesthetics: Same-day crowns are crafted from strong, tooth-colored ceramic, providing both durability and a natural appearance.

They got me in for a same day appointment and helped me get everything done in one visit. Katie is hilarious and is by far one of the best hygienist I have experienced. She even answered questions on how to help with better habits for my kids that are not patients here. Dr. Farr is such an experienced and amazing dentist. She takes time to examine teeth and answer cosmetic questions. Finally, Jill is willing to go the extra mile to work with insurance companies and busy schedules. Thanks Ladies fir the great experience.

I needed a new crown and Dr. Farr and her super staff had my old crown off, and the new one made and installed all in 90 minutes. I appreciate the excellent standard of care I received last week and throughout the 17 years that I’ve been a patient.
