When you need a crown on a front tooth, you’re not just fixing a tooth; you’re restoring your smile, confidence, and how you feel when you look in the mirror. At Wood Park Dental, we understand how personal that is.

No temporary solutions. No waiting weeks. Just compassionate care, advanced technology, and results you’ll feel good about the moment you leave our office.
The Step-by-Step Process of Getting a Same-Day Crown
If you are a candidate for a same-day crown, here’s the process you can expect:
- Tooth preparation — First, we will numb your mouth so you won’t feel anything. We will reshape your tooth to make space for the crown and help it fit properly.
- Digital impressions — Next, we will use a digital scanner to create a 3-D model of the prepared tooth and your surrounding teeth. These digital impressions improve both comfort and accuracy.
- Crown design — Once we send the digital scans to the computer, we’ll use CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing) to design your crown.
- Milling — We will send it to our in-office milling machine, where your crown will be carved from a block of ceramic or porcelain while you wait comfortably in your treatment room.
- Fitting — Once it’s ready, we will cement it in place and check to ensure it fits properly.
Recovery Tips for Same-Day Crowns on Front Teeth
Once your procedure is complete, here are some recovery tips to help you heal quickly and get back to your normal activities:
- Avoid chewing on your new crown for 24 hours.
- Practice gentle oral hygiene for the first day or two.
- Don’t eat hard, sticky, or crunchy foods.
- Avoid hot or cold temperatures.
- Take over-the-counter pain relievers for any discomfort.
- Watch for any issues, such as excessive pain or swelling.
