Same-Day Crowns In Salt Lake City: Repair Strength And Beauty In One Visit
Traditional crowns take multiple appointments and leave you living with a temporary that can loosen at the worst moment. Same-day crowns use digital scanning, 3D design, and in-office milling to deliver a custom ceramic crown in a single visit—no goopy impressions, no second shot, and no extra commute.
When A Crown Makes Sense
- Large Cavities Or Fractured Fillings where remaining tooth walls are thin
- Cracked Teeth that hurt on biting
- Root Canal–Treated Teeth that need protection
- Smile Makeovers when shape and color need a full refresh
How The Single-Visit Workflow Works
- Digital Scan: A wand captures a precise 3D model—fast and comfortable.
- Design: We shape your crown to your bite and alignment on-screen.
- Milling: A ceramic block is sculpted in-office within minutes.
- Try-In & Micro-Adjustments: Comfort and contacts are dialed in.
- Bond & Polish: You leave with a durable, lifelike restoration.
Materials: Why Ceramics Shine
Modern ceramics—especially lithium disilicate for front and many back teeth, and translucent zirconia for higher-force areas—balance beauty with strength. They mimic enamel’s translucency, resist stain, and bond tightly to support remaining tooth structure.
Who Isn’t A Candidate?
Extremely deep decay below the gum, fractures extending into the root, or unusual bite forces may call for lab-made options or alternative treatments. We’ll show you images and explain why—so the choice is crystal clear.
Comfort, Sensitivity & Longevity
Bonding can make teeth “cold aware” for a few days. This fades as your tooth calms. With good home care and routine cleanings, ceramic crowns are designed for many years of service. If you clench, a custom nightguard protects the crown and your natural teeth.
Aftercare You’ll Actually Follow
- Avoid very sticky foods for the first day.
- If your bite feels “high,” call us—tiny refinements matter.
- Keep the margins clean; floss hugs the crown just like a natural tooth.
Crown + Bigger Plans (Smart Sequencing)
We often combine same-day crowns with Invisalign® (after alignment stabilizes), whitening, and conservative bonding for comprehensive smile makeovers. If a tooth also needs a root canal, we coordinate so numbing and chair time are efficient—and you finish with strength and comfort in one visit whenever possible.

Will people notice? Not likely. Shade, texture, and polish are customized to blend with your smile.
