A broken crown at 3 PM on Friday should not mean suffering through the weekend with a throbbing tooth and dietary restrictions. Modern same-day crown technology eliminates the weeks-long waiting game that traditional crowns often require. You can walk into our Falmouth office with a damaged tooth and leave the same day with a permanent, beautiful restoration.
Using advanced CAD/CAM technology and our in-office milling systems, we design, mill, and place your crown while you relax in our spa-like environment. No temporary crowns, no multiple appointments, and no vulnerability between visits.
Quick Answer: Same-day crowns are permanent tooth restorations created and placed in one appointment using digital impressions and in-office milling technology, eliminating the need for temporary crowns and multiple visits.
The same-day crown process transforms what used to be a weeks-long ordeal into a single, comfortable appointment. Think of it like having a custom suit tailored while you wait, except the measurements are taken with modern digital precision and the final product is exceptionally strong and engineered for long-term durability.
Same-day crowns solve the problems that make traditional crown treatment frustrating and inconvenient:
Our crowns are crafted from lithium disilicate, a premium ceramic material specifically engineered for strength, durability, and natural appearance. These high-quality ceramics are metal-free, biocompatible, and closely match the translucency and subtle color variations of natural tooth enamel.
The ceramic blocks we use are pre-fabricated under controlled conditions, supporting consistent quality and reliable strength. The material resists staining and maintains its appearance over time, making it a great choice for both front and back teeth.
You might be an ideal candidate if you experience any of these situations:
Dental anxiety should not prevent you from getting the care you need. We offer multiple sedation options to help keep your same-day crown appointment comfortable.

Dental emergencies do not schedule themselves for convenient times, and a broken or lost crown creates both immediate discomfort and long-term vulnerability. Our same-day crown technology helps us respond quickly to crown damage or failure.
When your existing crown breaks, falls out, or becomes damaged, we can often create and place a replacement crown the same day. This immediate solution protects your tooth from further damage while restoring your ability to eat and speak comfortably.
The cost of a same-day crown varies depending on the tooth being restored, the complexity of the case, and your insurance coverage. Many dental insurance plans that cover traditional crowns also cover same-day crowns, since the restoration itself is the same, only the process differs.
Rather than offer a number that may not reflect your specific situation, we find it more useful to talk through cost during your consultation. That way, we can give you an accurate estimate based on your treatment needs, review your insurance benefits, and walk you through any out-of-pocket considerations before you commit to anything.
If you have questions about cost or coverage ahead of your visit, don’t hesitate to contact our team and we’re happy to help you get a clearer picture before you come in.
