Same-Day Dental Crowns

In the past, getting a dental crown involved waiting long periods of time for a permanent restoration to be made. Thanks to CEREC technology, however Dr. Richard D. Guthrie can make your permanent crown in just one visit. Contact Mission Ranch Dental Aesthetics at (949) 388-6325 to learn more from our dentist about how same-day dental crowns in Ladera Ranch, California, can restore your smile!

Traditionally, dental crowns have required two appointments to complete. Using state-of-the-art CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) technology, our dentist can create and place your crown in a single visit, saving you time and preventing the need for multiple visits to our office to restore your smile. Your dental crown is designed using an advanced imaging system which creates a digital impression. From this impression, our dentist can design and mill a custom dental crown in a matter of minutes to complete your restoration and help you leave our office with a renewed smile.

When you visit our office for a same-day dental crown, our dentist will:

Thoroughly examine your teeth to ensure that a crown is the right treatment for you
Remove weakened, decayed or broken tooth material
Capture a digital picture of your mouth
Convert that picture into a 3D model
Create your restoration based on the 3D model
Mill your crown from a block of tooth-colored material

In a matter of a few minutes, your crown will be ready. Our dentist will then place it in your mouth, check that it fits properly, bond it into place and polish it to complete your treatment.
