Same-Visit Crowns
A ceramic crown scanned, milled, and fitted in one appointment. No putty, no temporary, no second visit.
The tooth is prepared, scanned, and the crown milled while you wait. Then it is stained, glazed, and bonded on the same day.
Same-visit crowns require a mill in the building. It is a real capability claim and we only state it for a practice that has one.
What patients notice
- ✦One appointment instead of two
- ✦No temporary crown to come loose
- ✦Digital scan instead of impression putty
- ✦Full ceramic, shade-matched to the neighbouring tooth
Questions
Is a same-visit crown as good as a lab one?+
For most teeth, yes: the ceramic and the fit are equivalent. For complex front-tooth aesthetics we still use a lab ceramist, because layering by hand beats a mill on translucency.
Safety & what to expect
A crowned tooth can stay sensitive to cold for a few weeks while the nerve settles. A small number of heavily damaged teeth go on to need root canal treatment afterwards, which we flag before starting.

Tooth-Colored Fillings
Composite fillings bonded into the tooth and shaded to match it, for new decay or for replacing old silver work that has started to leak.
Root Canal
Removing the infected nerve inside a tooth, disinfecting the canals, and sealing them, so the tooth stays in your mouth instead of coming out.
Inlays & Onlays
A custom ceramic piece bonded into a tooth that is too damaged for a filling but does not need the whole surface covered by a crown.
