Same-Day Dental Crowns in Atlanta, East Cobb, Sandy Springs, Marietta & Brookhaven

If you've ever dreaded the idea of spending weeks waiting for a dental crown — multiple appointments, temporary crowns, and the inconvenience that comes with them — Snodental has a better solution. With CEREC same-day crown technology, we can restore your smile in a single visit, with no temporaries and no waiting.

What Is a Same-Day Crown?

A same-day crown, made possible by CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) technology, is a custom-designed, tooth-colored ceramic crown that is created and placed during a single dental appointment. Using an intraoral digital scanner and an in-office milling machine, our team captures a precise 3D image of your tooth, designs the crown, mills it from high-quality ceramic, and cements it in place — all in about 1–2 hours.

There are no messy impressions, no temporary crowns, and no second appointment needed.

Why Patients Love CEREC Same-Day Crowns

1. One Appointment — Start to Finish

Traditional crowns require two or more visits, often spread over several weeks. With CEREC, everything happens in one sitting. You walk in with a damaged tooth and walk out with a permanent, custom crown.

2. No Temporary Crowns

Temporary crowns can crack, fall off, or feel uncomfortable. With same-day crowns, there's no temporary — your permanent restoration is placed the same day.

3. Digital Accuracy

Intraoral scanners create precise digital impressions of your tooth. This eliminates the guesswork of traditional molds and ensures a more accurate, comfortable fit.

4. Natural-Looking Results

CEREC crowns are crafted from high-strength ceramic that closely mimics the look and feel of natural enamel. They are color-matched to your surrounding teeth for a seamless, beautiful result.

5. Durable and Long-Lasting

Despite being completed in one appointment, CEREC crowns are just as strong and durable as traditionally made crowns. With proper care, they can last 10–15 years or longer.

6. Less Time Away from Life

Whether you have a busy schedule, dental anxiety, or you're visiting from out of town, same-day crowns mean fewer disruptions to your daily routine.

How the CEREC Same-Day Crown Process Works

Step 1: Digital Scan

We use a small intraoral scanner to take a highly accurate 3D digital impression of your tooth. This replaces the traditional putty impression.

Step 2: Crown Design

Using advanced CAD/CAM software, our team designs your custom crown to fit perfectly and match the appearance of your natural teeth.

Step 3: In-Office Milling

Your crown is milled right in our office from a solid block of tooth-colored ceramic. This typically takes about 15–20 minutes.

Step 4: Placement and Bonding

Once your crown is ready, we check the fit and bite, make any fine adjustments, and bond it permanently to your tooth. You leave the office with a fully restored smile.

Signs You May Need a Dental Crown

A crown may be recommended if you have:

• A cracked, fractured, or broken tooth
• A large cavity that a filling cannot adequately restore
• A tooth that has undergone root canal treatment
• A worn-down tooth due to grinding (bruxism)
• A tooth that is severely discolored or misshapen
• A missing tooth being replaced with a dental implant
• An existing crown that is old, damaged, or failing

Traditional Crowns vs. CEREC Same-Day Crowns

Frequently Asked Questions

Are same-day crowns as strong as traditional crowns?

Yes. CEREC crowns are made from high-strength ceramic that is comparable in durability to traditionally fabricated porcelain crowns. They are designed to withstand normal chewing forces and, with proper care, can last 10–15+ years.

Is the CEREC process painful?

No. The process involves local anesthesia, just like any crown procedure. Most patients report that same-day crowns are no more uncomfortable than a regular dental appointment. The digital scanning is completely painless.

Will my insurance cover a same-day crown?

Most dental insurance plans that cover traditional crowns will also cover CEREC same-day crowns, as they are considered the same type of restoration. Our team will verify your benefits and explain your coverage before treatment begins.

How do I care for my same-day crown?

Care for your CEREC crown just like your natural teeth: brush twice daily, floss regularly, and attend routine dental checkups. Avoid chewing on very hard foods or ice, and wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth.

Can same-day crowns be used for front teeth?

Yes. CEREC ceramic can be carefully color-matched to your surrounding teeth, making it an excellent choice for both front and back teeth restorations.
