A Stronger Solution for Damaged Teeth
When a tooth has been significantly weakened by decay, fracture, wear, or a large restoration, a dental crown can provide additional strength and protection while restoring its natural
appearance and function.
Designed to Look and Feel Natural
A well-designed crown should do more than restore a tooth—it should complement the surrounding dentition. Where dentistry meets artistry, we carefully consider tooth shape, proportion, surface texture, translucency, and bite when designing each restoration.
Same-Day Crowns with Digital Dentistry
For posterior crowns, our in-office CAD/CAM technology allows us to digitally design, mill, and place a custom ceramic crown in a single visit—often eliminating the need for traditional impressions and a temporary crown.

FAQ Section
What Are the Steps for Getting a Same-Day Crown?
STEP 1 — Tooth Preparation & Digital Scan
The tooth is carefully prepared, and a precise digital scan captures the details needed to design your custom crown.
STEP 2 — Digital Design & In-Office Milling
Your crown is digitally designed with careful attention to tooth shape, contours, bite, and
surrounding dentition. The restoration is then milled from a high-quality ceramic block using our in-office CAD/CAM technology.
STEP 3 — Fitting & Final Placement
We carefully evaluate the crown’s fit, bite, and appearance before securely bonding it into place.
How long do dental crowns last?
Dental crowns can last many years with good oral hygiene and regular dental care. Their longevity depends on factors such as the condition of the underlying tooth, bite forces, teeth grinding, diet, and daily oral hygiene. Routine dental exams allow us to monitor both the crown and the tooth supporting it.
Is getting a dental crown painful?
The tooth is numbed with local anesthesia during crown preparation to keep you comfortable. Mild sensitivity or gum tenderness may occur afterward and typically improves as the area heals. Significant or persistent discomfort should be evaluated by your dentist.
Do I need a crown or a filling?
A filling is generally appropriate when enough healthy tooth structure remains to support the restoration. A crown may be recommended when a tooth is significantly weakened, cracked, heavily restored, or requires greater protection. After examining the tooth, we can determine the most appropriate restorative option based on its condition.
Can I get a same-day dental crown?
For appropriate posterior teeth, AV Dental uses in-office CAD/CAM technology to digitally design, mill, and place a custom ceramic crown in a single visit. Not every tooth or clinical situation is appropriate for a same-day crown, and we will recommend the restorative option best suited to your needs.
