Why Should I Get A Same-Day Crown?
If you’ve cracked, chipped, or severely decayed a tooth, a crown may be necessary to restore and protect it. Traditional crowns often involve multiple appointments, goopy molds, and temporary restorations that can fall off or feel uncomfortable. Same-day crowns eliminate those frustrations, using digital scanning and milling to create a permanent solution while you relax in the dental chair.
Under Dr. Naminik’s expert care at Woodland Hills Dental Arts, you’ll receive top-of-the-line restorative treatment without the downtime or stress. These crowns are made from durable, lifelike ceramic that matches your natural tooth color and contours. It’s an ideal option for busy professionals, parents, or anyone looking to streamline their care without sacrificing quality, comfort, or aesthetics.

The Same-Day Crowns Treatment Process
Digital Imaging & Design
Dr. Naminik begins by examining the affected tooth and capturing digital images with advanced 3D scanning technology, no traditional impressions required. This data is used to design a custom-fit crown with pinpoint accuracy, all in real time. You can even view the digital model of your crown before it’s created, offering a truly personalized experience.
Milling Your Crown
Once designed, your crown is crafted on-site using our CEREC milling machine. This advanced tool carves the crown from a single block of high-quality ceramic, ensuring strength and longevity. While your custom crown is being created, you can sit back in one of our massage chairs and enjoy noise-canceling headphones or streamed entertainment for ultimate relaxation.
Final Fit and Placement
After milling, Dr. Naminik inspects the crown for fit and aesthetics, making any minor adjustments necessary. Once perfected, the crown is bonded into place using strong, tooth-colored adhesive. You’ll leave our Woodland Hills office with a fully restored tooth that looks and feels natural, and the peace of mind that it’s built to last.

Frequently Asked Questions
Check out these frequently asked questions, or call us to speak with our team.
Typically, same-day crowns are used to shield and repair teeth that have suffered significant damage due to a severe cavity or have been cracked or broken due to dental trauma, such as an accident or injury. By covering and safeguarding the entire tooth structure, same-day crowns are ideal for preventing additional issues and restoring the shape, look, and functionality of impaired teeth.
Additionally, same-day crowns are often utilized to cover and protect teeth following root canal therapy. In less common scenarios, they might be used in cosmetic dentistry when alternatives like veneers and dental bonding aren't suitable.
If your tooth is damaged, severely decayed, or if you require urgent dental attention, a same-day crown might be necessary. It's important to consult your dentist if you're dealing with tooth pain, discomfort, or if you notice visible damage or discoloration of your teeth. Based on the specific dental problem you're facing, your dentist can suggest a same-day crown or an alternative restorative treatment.
A well-made and properly placed same-day crown can last up to 15 years. It’s crucial to maintain good oral health habits to enhance your crown’s longevity. These practices include brushing twice per day, flossing once per day, and seeing your dentist every 6 months for a professional cleaning and exam.
Insurance usually covers same-day dental crowns when they are needed for restorative reasons, like significant cavities or a broken tooth. The specific coverage amount will vary based on your policy's deductible and annual limits.
However, if you need a crown for cosmetic reasons, like concealing a discolored tooth, it might not be covered by insurance. We advise checking with your insurance provider to confirm coverage for your treatment.
Absolutely! A same-day crown effectively conceals any noticeable stains or chips on your tooth. This is particularly advantageous for front teeth that are more visible. Your dentist will ensure the crown matches the color of your surrounding teeth, seamlessly blending it with your smile.
