The Same-Day Crowns process
Consultation
You’ll get started with a consultation with one of our dentists in Springfield where we’ll provide a thorough assessment of your teeth, gums, and overall oral health to determine if you are a candidate for same-day crowns.
Custom-Crafted Crown
Then we’ll take digital scans of your teeth to get a precise plan of the size and shape of your crown. We’ll also assess the shade so that it blends seamlessly with the rest of your smile. Our 3D printer will then custom-craft your beautiful restoration.
Crown Placement
No need to go home and wait weeks. Once your crown is finished, we’ll place it that day. Your new crown will restore your smile to its previous look and function.

Questions about Same-Day Crowns, answered.
Are same-day crowns as durable as traditional crowns?
While same-day crowns are becoming increasingly popular, many people wonder if they are as durable as traditional crowns, which are typically made in a dental laboratory. Same-day crowns are made using computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology, which allows them to be produced in a single visit.
Simply put, same-day crowns are just as durable as traditional crowns, as they are made from the same materials and designed to provide the same level of protection and support for damaged or weakened teeth.
However, it is important to note that the durability of a crown depends on how well you take care of them. Practicing proper oral hygiene habits and going to your regular dental checkups ensure your crown is long-lasting.
How long do same-day crowns last?
The lifespan of same-day crowns can vary depending on a variety of factors, including the materials used, your oral hygiene habits, and the amount of wear and tear over time. In general, same-day crowns can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years or more with proper care.
Be sure to practice good oral hygiene habits, such as brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting Elevate Dental Studio for checkups and cleanings to ensure the longevity of your crown.
What are same-day crowns made of?
Same-day crowns are typically milled from high-quality ceramic or zirconia blocks. These materials are strong, tooth-colored, and designed to blend naturally with your surrounding teeth.
Are same-day crowns as durable as traditional crowns?
Yes. Same-day crowns are made from the same high-quality materials used in traditional lab-made crowns and are designed to provide the same level of protection and support. With proper care — brushing twice daily, flossing, and attending regular checkups — your crown can be just as strong and long-lasting.
How long do same-day crowns last?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, same-day crowns can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years or more. Avoiding habits like grinding your teeth or biting hard objects will also help maximize the life of your crown.
Am I a good candidate for a same-day crown?
Most patients who need a dental crown — whether due to decay, a cracked tooth, a large filling, or after a root canal — are candidates for a same-day crown. Schedule a consultation at Elevate Dental Studio and our team will evaluate your oral health to confirm the right treatment plan for you.
What’s the difference between a same-day crown and a traditional crown?
The main difference is time and process. Traditional crowns require two appointments: one to prepare the tooth and take impressions sent to an off-site lab, and a second visit weeks later to place the permanent crown. A same-day crown skips the lab entirely — your crown is designed, milled, and placed all in one visit, with no temporary crown and no waiting.
Does insurance cover same-day crowns?
Dental insurance typically classifies same-day crowns as a restorative procedure and covers them similarly to traditional crowns. Coverage varies by plan, so we recommend contacting our office or your insurance provider ahead of your appointment to verify your benefits.
