What Is a Same-Day Crown?

In this video, Dr. Lilian Jaime explains how advanced technology allows a crown to be designed, made, and placed in one visit.

A same-day crown means the entire process is completed in one visit. We prepare the tooth, then use advanced software to design the crown digitally. Once the design is approved, the crown is milled or 3D printed right in our office.

While the crown is being made, you can relax with coffee or tea. When it is ready, we cement the crown in place, and your treatment is complete the same day.

If you or someone you love is struggling with missing or damaged teeth, contact Sunshine Dental in Albuquerque, NM, for a free consultation to learn how our same-day dental crowns can enhance your smile, improve your function, and restore your self-confidence.
