Same-Day Crowns

What is a dental crown?                                            

A dental crown is a prosthetic cap or covering that encases the entire surface of a damaged tooth. The crown restores your tooth to its original shape and size and is custom made to match the rest of your smile. Crowns both protect and strengthen your tooth structure and often save teeth that couldn’t be restored by fillings or would otherwise have been extracted. Crowns can also be used to replace teeth when they’re used atop an implant, or as anchors for larger restorations like a bridge. With proper care and good oral hygiene, your crown could last 5-15 years.                                         

One appointment                                          

Traditionally, getting a dental crown requires at least two appointments with waits of up to several weeks in between. At North Hills Dental we're proud to offer custom dental crowns made right here in our office, which means same-day crowns! No waiting for an off-site lab to ship your appliance to us, and no temporary crowns that fall off. We prep the crown here and mill it while you enjoy your favorite show on Netflix, read a book, or stretch your legs. Forty-five minutes later, you get to walk out the door with your new crown securely in place.
