A same-day crown, sometimes called a CEREC crown or single-visit crown, is a permanent dental crown that's designed, milled, and placed in one appointment instead of two. Traditional crowns require a first visit to prepare the tooth and take an impression, a temporary crown while a lab builds your permanent one, and a second visit two or three weeks later to place it. Same-day crown technology skips the waiting. Here's how we shorten that timeline without cutting corners on quality: ![crown](https://altitudedentalmt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/crown.jpg?width=1219&height=1290&name=crown.jpg) ### **Digital Impressions Instead of Goopy Molds** We scan your tooth with a digital wand rather than the old putty tray. It's faster, more comfortable, and more precise, which means a better-fitting crown for you. ### **On-Site 3D Printing and Milling** Once we have your digital scan, we design your crown and send it straight to our in-office milling and 3D printing equipment. Your crown is crafted from durable, tooth-colored material while you relax in the chair. ### **A Comfortable, Custom Fit and Color Match** We check your bite, adjust as needed, and polish your new crown to blend in with your natural teeth. These are not your childhood metal crowns. Most patients say you can't tell which tooth is which.   ## Signs You Might Be a Candidate You may be a good fit for a same-day crown if you're dealing with: - A broken, chipped, or visibly worn tooth - A toothache that isn't going away - Sensitivity to hot or cold food and drinks - Pain when biting down or chewing If any of that sounds familiar, don't wait it out. Small problems with teeth have a way of becoming bigger, more expensive ones. Our team will take a look, walk you through what's going on, and let you know honestly whether a same-day crown is the right fit for your situation. *A quick note: same-day treatment depends on your specific tooth and clinical needs. Some cases call for a different approach, and we'll always tell you which one makes the most sense before we start any work.* ![crown-lady](https://altitudedentalmt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/crown-lady.png?width=577&height=611&name=crown-lady.png) ## Why Bozeman Patients Choose Altitude Dental **Experienced, straightforward guidance.** Our team will always tell you what a tooth actually needs, not what's easiest to sell.

Most same-day crown appointments run about two to two and a half hours, start to finish. You leave with your permanent crown already in place. ###### Does a same-day crown look like a real tooth? Yes. We match the color and shape of your crown to your natural teeth, so it blends in rather than standing out. ###### Is a same-day crown as strong as a traditional crown? Same-day crown materials are designed for everyday biting and chewing, just like traditional lab-made crowns. Our dentists will recommend the right material for your specific tooth and bite. ###### Will insurance cover a same-day crown? Crowns are commonly covered, at least in part, by dental insurance, though coverage varies by plan. Our team is happy to help you understand your benefits before treatment. ###### What if I'm not sure a same-day crown is right for me? That's exactly what your exam is for. We'll look at the tooth, explain your options in plain language, and help you choose the path that fits your needs, your schedule, and your budget. ## Ready to Fix That Tooth in One Visit?
