What Are Same-Day Crowns?
Digital Scanning
No more gagging on impression material—Dr. Bacon uses a small digital camera to create a perfect 3D map of your tooth. It's quick, comfortable, and incredibly accurate, giving us everything we need to design your ideal crown.
Computer-Perfect Design
Dr. Bacon uses advanced software to design a crown that fits your bite perfectly and matches your other teeth exactly. You can even watch the design process and give input—it's pretty cool to see your new tooth being created.
Made While You Wait
Our in-office milling machine carves your crown from a solid block of high-quality ceramic in about an hour. No waiting weeks for a dental lab—your crown is ready when you are.
Why Same-Day Crowns Are Game-Changers
Dr. Bacon invested in cutting-edge CEREC technology because he knows your time is valuable and traditional crown methods are outdated. Here's how same-day crowns completely change the crown experience:
One Visit, Done Deal: Busy schedule? Dr. Bacon gets it—that's why he invested in technology that gets you in and out in one appointment. Perfect for working professionals and busy families who can't keep coming back.
Perfect Fit Every Time: Digital precision means your crown fits exactly right from day one. No awkward adjustments, no coming back because something doesn't feel right—just a crown that feels like your natural tooth.
No Temporary Crown Hassles: Skip the whole temporary crown experience—they fall out, feel weird, and limit what you can eat. With same-day crowns, you get the permanent solution immediately.
Looks Completely Natural: Dr. Bacon's artistic eye and high-grade ceramic materials create crowns that match your other teeth perfectly. People won't be able to tell which tooth has the crown.
When You Need a Crown
Cracked or Broken Teeth
Whether it's from biting something hard or an accident, damaged teeth need protection fast. Dr. Bacon can restore the tooth's strength and appearance in one visit.
After Root Canal Treatment
Root canal therapy leaves teeth more fragile, so they need a crown for protection. Dr. Bacon often completes both procedures in the same appointment.
Large Cavities
When a cavity is too big for a filling but the tooth is still saveable, a crown provides the coverage and strength your tooth needs.
What to Expect During Your Same-Day Crown Visit

Dr. Bacon will numb the area completely so you're comfortable throughout the procedure. He'll then prepare your tooth by removing any damaged areas and shaping it for the crown.
Digital Scanning (10 minutes)

Crown Design (15 minutes)
Watch as Dr. Bacon designs your crown on the computer, adjusting the shape and color to match your other teeth perfectly. You can even give input during this cool process.
Relax While We Make It (60 minutes)
Your crown is milled from premium ceramic right in our office while you wait. Catch up on emails, read, or just relax—we'll keep you comfortable.
Final Placement (20 minutes)
Dr. Bacon bonds your new crown in place and makes sure your bite feels perfect. You'll leave with a permanent solution that looks and feels completely natural.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will people be able to tell I have a crown?
Not a chance. Dr. Bacon has an artistic eye for matching color, shape, and translucency so your crown blends perfectly with your natural teeth.
What are my payment options?
We work with most major insurance plans and offer flexible financing through CareCredit, Cherry, and Sunbit. We'll find a payment plan that works for your budget.
What if something happens to my crown?
We offer same-day emergency appointments and can often repair or replace crowns immediately. Dr. Bacon's in-house technology means quick fixes when you need them.
Can any tooth get a same-day crown?
Most teeth are perfect candidates, but Dr. Bacon will evaluate your specific situation to make sure a same-day crown is the best option. His experience means he knows what works and what doesn't.
How long will my crown last?
With normal care, expect your crown to last 10 years or more. Cerec crowns have a history of lasting over 20 years with proper maintenance.
Does getting a crown hurt?
Dr. Bacon makes sure you're completely numb before starting, so you won't feel any pain during the procedure. If you're anxious, we have sedation options to help you relax completely.
Are same-day crowns as strong as traditional ones?
Absolutely. Dr. Bacon uses the same high-quality ceramic materials as traditional crowns, just with better technology. They're just as durable and often fit better than lab-made crowns.
Will my insurance cover same-day crowns?
Most insurance plans cover same-day crowns the same as traditional crowns—they can't tell the difference on the claim. We'll check your benefits and handle all the paperwork for you.
How long does a same-day crown appointment take?
Plan on about 2 hours from start to finish—most of that time is just waiting while your crown is being made. You can relax, catch up on work, or grab a coffee during the milling process.
