A dental crown restores tooth size, strength, and appearance — and at Arizona Smiles, you can get one in a single visit. Our CEREC same-day crown technology lets us design, mill, and seat a permanent, custom-matched porcelain crown while you’re still in the chair. No temporary crown. No second appointment. No waiting weeks for a dental lab.
Same-day crowns are one part of our comprehensive dentistry in Gilbert, AZ — from routine care to full-mouth restorations, we handle it under one roof.
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that fits over a damaged, weakened, or cosmetically flawed tooth. It restores the tooth's full function and natural appearance. Crowns are one of the most common procedures we do — and with our in-office CEREC technology, we've eliminated the biggest drawbacks of the traditional process.
Traditional crowns require two visits: one to prep the tooth and take impressions, then a second visit weeks later once the lab sends back the finished crown. In between, you wear a plastic temporary that can crack, pop off, or feel awkward. We skip all of that.
Completed in a single visit. No temporary crowns, no second appointment, no waiting weeks for a dental lab to ship your restoration back.
No messy, goopy impressions. We use a digital intraoral scanner that captures your tooth in seconds — more accurate and far more comfortable.
CEREC's CAD/CAM software designs your crown digitally, then mills it from a solid block of dental-grade ceramic. The fit is exceptionally precise because there's no manual impression error.
Milled from high-quality porcelain or ceramic blocks, same-day crowns are just as strong and long-lasting as traditional lab-made crowns. They resist wear, staining, and chipping.
Everyone deserves quality dental care. At Arizona Smiles in Gilbert, we provide affordable same-day crowns by milling your restoration in-house — eliminating lab fees and extra appointments. Whether you need a single crown or full-mouth restoration, we offer transparent pricing and flexible payment options to fit your budget.
We recommend crowns in several situations. Here are the most common reasons patients come to Arizona Smiles for crown work:
The treated tooth is structurally weakened and needs a crown to prevent fracture. A same-day CEREC crown means you leave with the final restoration the same day as your root canal.
A crown holds the tooth together and protects it from further damage. The sooner it's placed, the better the chance of saving the tooth.
When a filling would compromise more than half the tooth structure, a crown is the stronger, longer-lasting option.
The crown is the visible, functional part that attaches to the implant post. Our CEREC system mills the final crown in-house.
Crowns can reshape severely worn, misshapen, or discolored teeth that don't respond to whitening.
Worn-down fillings or aging crowns that are cracking, leaking, or no longer fitting properly. We see this frequently — and it's a great candidate for same-day replacement.
We start with a digital 3D scan of your tooth using our intraoral scanner. No trays, no putty — just a small wand that maps every surface in seconds.
The scan feeds directly into our CEREC CAD/CAM software, where we design your crown on-screen. We adjust the shape, contour, and bite in real time so the fit is exact.
Your crown is milled from a solid block of dental-grade ceramic right here in our office. This takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
We try in the crown, verify the bite and color match, then permanently bond it. You walk out with a finished, natural-looking restoration — done.
