At TLC For Gums, we understand that your time is valuable. That’s why Dr. Gordon Wilson is proud to offer state-of-the-art same-day crowns technology that transforms the traditional dental crown experience. Our Phoenix practice combines advanced dental technology with personalized care to deliver beautiful, durable dental restorations in just one appointment.

What Are Same-Day Crowns?

Same-day crowns (also known as one-visit crowns) are custom-made dental restorations that protect and strengthen damaged teeth. Unlike traditional crowns that require multiple appointments spread over several weeks, CEREC same-day crowns are designed, created, and placed in a single visit.

These porcelain crowns are:

  • Custom-designed to match your natural teeth
  • Milled from high-quality ceramic material
  • Precisely fitted for optimal comfort and function
  • Bonded to your tooth for lasting durability

The result is a restoration that looks, feels, and functions like your natural teeth—all completed while you wait comfortably in our office.

Advantages of Same-Day Crowns

Time Efficiency

The most obvious benefit of same-day crowns is in the name—they’re completed in just one appointment. This means:

  • No need for temporary crowns
  • No follow-up appointments
  • No repeated anesthesia
  • Less time away from work or family

Exceptional Precision

Our CEREC same-day crown system uses advanced 3D imaging technology to create highly accurate digital impressions. This precision leads to:

  • Better-fitting restorations
  • Reduced adjustment needs
  • More natural-looking results
  • Preservation of more healthy tooth structure

Improved Comfort

Many patients find the same-day crown process more comfortable than traditional methods:

  • Digital scanning eliminates messy impression materials
  • No temporary crowns that can be uncomfortable or fall off
  • Fewer injections since everything is completed in one visit

Long-Lasting Results

Despite their quick creation, porcelain crowns made using CEREC technology are extremely durable:

  • Made from high-quality ceramic materials
  • Resistant to staining and chipping
  • With proper care, they can last 10–15 years or longer

The Same-Day Crowns Process

At TLC For Gums, we’ve streamlined the same-day crowns process to make it efficient and stress-free:

Digital Impression

  • Dr. Wilson prepares your tooth by removing damaged areas
  • A small, handheld scanner captures precise 3D images of your tooth
  • No messy traditional impression materials required
  • The entire digital impression takes just minutes

Custom Design

  • Dr. Wilson uses specialized software to design your crown
  • The design accounts for your bite, adjacent teeth, and aesthetic considerations
  • You can even watch the design process on our monitor
  • The design phase typically takes 10–15 minutes

In-Office Milling

  • Our on-site milling unit crafts your porcelain crown from a solid ceramic block
  • The crown is precisely shaped according to the digital design
  • The milling process takes approximately 15 minutes
  • The shade of the ceramic is carefully matched to your natural teeth

Placement and Adjustment

  • Dr. Wilson checks the fit and appearance of your new crown
  • Minor adjustments are made if needed for optimal comfort
  • The crown is permanently bonded to your tooth
  • Your bite is evaluated to ensure proper function
From start to finish, most one-visit crown appointments take about 90 minutes to two hours—a significant improvement over the traditional two-visit process.
