If you need a dental crown but have been putting it off due to time constraints, same-day crowns may be the ideal solution for you. Unlike traditional crowns, which require at least two appointments and a temporary restoration, same-day crowns in San Ramon, California, allow you to leave Parthenon Dental with a permanent crown in just one visit. This advanced option offers both convenience and quality, combining modern technology with personalized care to restore the strength and appearance of your tooth efficiently.
Advanced Technology for Fast, Precise Results
Same-day dental crowns in San Ramon, CA, use innovative CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) systems such as CEREC to deliver prompt and precise restorations. With this technology, our dentist can take a digital impression of your mouth, eliminating the need for messy impression trays. The digital image is used to create a detailed 3D model of your tooth, which is then used to design your custom crown.
Once the design is finalized, an in-office milling machine crafts the crown from a high-quality ceramic block that closely matches the natural color of your teeth. This material is both durable and aesthetically pleasing, ensuring a strong and natural-looking result. In most cases, the entire process — from scan to final placement — can be completed in less than two hours.
Your Same-Day Crown Appointment
When you arrive for your same-day crown in San Ramon, CA, our dentist will begin by examining your tooth to determine whether a crown is the most suitable option. Damaged or decayed portions of the tooth will be gently removed to prepare it for restoration. A digital scan is then taken and used to generate a virtual model for your crown.
After the crown is milled and customized, our dentist will check its fit, make any necessary adjustments, and securely bond it to your tooth. The final step involves polishing the crown to match your surrounding teeth and perfect your smile. The result is a seamless restoration that looks and feels just like your natural tooth.

Because the entire process is completed in a single visit, there is less disruption to your schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions About Same-Day Crowns

Same-day crowns are created and placed in one visit using CAD/CAM technology like CEREC. Digital scans are taken, and the crown is milled on-site from ceramic material. This eliminates the need for temporary crowns and multiple appointments.
How long does the process take?
The entire process typically takes about two hours. After preparing the tooth, our dentist scans it, designs the crown digitally and mills it in-office. Once finished, the crown is fitted, adjusted and permanently bonded — all in one visit.
Are same-day crowns durable?
Yes, same-day crowns are made from strong ceramic materials that are highly durable and aesthetically pleasing. With good care, they can last many years. They are comparable in strength and appearance to traditional lab-made crowns.
Who is a good candidate for a same-day crown?
Most patients needing a crown due to decay, cracks or cosmetic reasons are candidates. However, some complex cases may still require a traditional crown. Our dentist will assess your needs and recommend the best treatment option.
