All About Same-Day Crowns
A dental crown (or cap) restores a tooth that is damaged, decayed, broken, or root canal-treated. It looks and feels natural while strengthening and protecting your tooth. With CEREC same-day crowns, there’s no need for messy impressions or temporary crowns—we design, create, and bond your custom crown in a single visit for a seamless, hassle-free experience!
Advantages of Same-Day Crowns
Before modern technology, getting a crown required multiple visits and an uncomfortable temporary crown. Now, same-day crowns make the process faster and easier with several key benefits:
- No Messy Impressions – We use a precise and comfortable 3D digital scan.
- One-Visit Convenience – Your crown is designed, created, and placed in a single appointment.
- Minimally Invasive – Less drilling means more of your natural tooth is preserved.
Enjoy a faster, more comfortable way to restore your smile!
Same-Day Crown Treatment
Examining and Preparing the Tooth
We start by examining your tooth. If there’s decay, we remove the damaged areas and clean the tooth. For teeth with stress fractures, a crown helps prevent further breakage. Once the tooth is prepped, we shape it for a comfortable crown fit.
Custom Crown Made On-Site
Instead of messy impressions, we use a precise 3D scanner to create a digital model of your tooth. Your custom porcelain crown is then crafted on-site while you wait—no need for trays or delays.
Placement and Polish
Once ready, your crown is immediately bonded in place—no temporary crown or second visit required. Your dentist will fine-tune the fit and give it a final polish, leaving you with a strong, natural-looking restoration in just one appointment!
Cost of Same-Day Crowns in Etobicoke
The cost of a same-day crown varies based on individual factors. With insurance, out-of-pocket costs typically range from $200 to $600+ per crown. Without insurance, the cost is generally $800 to $1,200+ per crown. While a dental crown is often an easy decision for restoring function and aesthetics, the cost may still be a consideration.
What Determines the Cost of a Crown? Several factors influence pricing, including:
- The Type of Crown Needed.
- The Complexity and Location of the Procedure.
- The Number of Crowns Required.
- Whether Crowns Are Combined with Bridges or Other Treatments.
- The Materials and Technology Used for Your Specific Case.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the tooth’s location. Molars and premolars (which handle most of the chewing) usually require crowns for added strength. Incisors and canines, which experience less pressure, may not always need a crown.
Crowns are more durable than fillings, especially on biting surfaces. Chewing and clenching can cause fillings to chip or loosen over time, while crowns provide a solid, long-lasting protective cover.
Yes! Crowns restore both function and aesthetics. They are custom-coloured and contoured to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, making them virtually unnoticeable. Many people forget which tooth has the crown!
A dental post is not the same as an implant. It is a medical-grade post placed inside a root canal-treated tooth to reinforce and support a crown when there isn’t enough healthy tooth structure left.
Getting a crown feels similar to a filling. We carefully numb the area to ensure a painless procedure. Some mild sensitivity or gum soreness may follow, but it typically subsides quickly. If you have dental anxiety, let us know—we’re happy to make your visit as comfortable as possible.
Crowns typically last 10–15 years, but with proper care, they can last 25–30 years.
Care for your crown just like a natural tooth:
- Brush and floss daily to keep the surrounding gum healthy.
- Schedule regular dental cleanings and checkups to maintain long-term oral health.
With proper care, your crown will stay strong and functional for years!
