If you’ve ever needed a dental crown, you probably remember the traditional process — messy impressions, a temporary crown, and waiting weeks for the permanent one to arrive. At Grafton Dental Care, Dr. Anurag Gupta has replaced that waiting game with same-day crowns using advanced CEREC® technology. You’ll walk in with a damaged or worn tooth and walk out the same day with a beautifully restored smile.
What Are Same-Day Crowns?
Same-day crowns are custom, permanent dental restorations designed, created, and placed in a single appointment. Instead of sending impressions to an outside lab, Dr. Gupta uses digital scanning and in-office milling to craft your new crown right here at our Grafton office.
The crown is made from durable, tooth-colored ceramic that blends seamlessly with your surrounding teeth — no metal lines, no waiting, and no temporary crown to baby in the meantime.
The Same-Day Crown Process
Here’s what a typical visit looks like:
- Digital Impressions – Forget the trays and goo. A small scanner captures precise 3D images of your tooth and bite, creating a detailed digital model in seconds.
- Design & Milling – Using that model, Dr. Gupta designs your custom crown right on screen. The design is then sent to our in-office milling unit, which sculpts the crown from a solid block of ceramic — usually in about 15–20 minutes.
- Bonding & Finishing Touches – Once the crown is polished and color-matched, it’s bonded securely in place. You’ll leave with a strong, natural-looking restoration — no temporary, no follow-up visit needed.
How Long Do Same-Day Crowns Last?
With good home care and regular checkups, same-day crowns can last 10–15 years or longer — the same lifespan as traditional lab-made crowns. Because they’re made from high-quality ceramic, they resist stains and wear beautifully over time.
You’ll want to brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush, floss gently around the crown, and avoid habits like chewing ice or using your teeth to open packaging.
Are Same-Day Crowns Right for Everyone?
Most patients who need a crown can benefit from same-day technology. They’re ideal for repairing:
- Cracked or fractured teeth
- Large fillings that have failed
- Teeth after root canal treatment
- Cosmetic enhancements
However, in rare cases — such as complex bite issues or aesthetic concerns that require specialized materials — Dr. Gupta may still recommend a traditional crown. He’ll always guide you toward the most durable and natural-looking option for your smile.
