Need a crown but short on time? Same-day dental crowns use digital scanning and in-office milling to restore your tooth in one visit—no temporary crown, no second appointment. At Seoul Lab Dental Clinic, you’ll get precise CAD/CAM design, enamel-like ceramics, and a comfortable, English-friendly experience.

What Is a Same-Day Crown?

A same-day crown is a full-coverage ceramic restoration designed and fabricated chairside using CAD/CAM technology. We scan your tooth digitally, design the crown on screen, mill it from a high-strength ceramic block, and bond it the same day—so you leave with your final restoration.

Who’s a Good Candidate?

  • Tooth with a large fracture or big failing filling
  • After root canal therapy (to prevent cracking)
  • Worn or cracked cusps from clenching/grinding (with nightguard)
  • Need a fast, durable solution without a temporary crown
Some complex cases (deep fractures below the gum, minimal remaining tooth) may need a different approach or additional prep work.

Benefits at a Glance

  • One visit: no temporary crown, no second injection
  • Digital comfort: scan instead of messy impressions
  • Precision fit & natural look with enamel-like ceramics
  • Strong & durable for everyday chewing
  • Transparent pricing and clear timelines

Our Same-Day Crown Process

  1. Exam, Scan & Shade Match
    We assess the tooth, choose your shade, and take a digital scan—quick and comfortable.
  2. Conservative Preparation
    Remove decay/old filling, shape the tooth minimally for optimal strength and fit.
  3. CAD Design & Chairside Milling
    Your crown is designed virtually and milled on-site from a high-strength ceramic block.
  4. Try-In, Glaze & Bonding
    We fine-tune the fit and contacts, characterize/glaze for realism, then bond the crown permanently.
  5. Bite Check & Polishing
    Final adjustments ensure a natural feel when you bite and speak.

Materials & Aesthetics

  • High-strength ceramics (e.g., lithium disilicate) for durability and lifelike translucency
  • Custom staining/glazing to blend with adjacent teeth
  • Adhesive bonding for a strong seal and long-term stability

Aftercare & Longevity

  • Numbness may last a few hours; avoid chewing until it wears off
  • Expect mild sensitivity for a few days—usually settles quickly
  • Brush and floss normally; clean around the crown margin carefully
  • Nightguard recommended if you clench or grind
  • Routine check-ups protect the crown and your bite

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a same-day crown as strong as a lab crown?
Yes—modern chairside ceramics are strong and esthetic. We’ll recommend the best material for your bite and tooth location.

How long does the appointment take?
Typically 1.5–2.5 hours start to finish, depending on the case.

Will it look natural?
We match shade and translucency, then glaze/polish for a seamless blend.

Do I still need a crown after a root canal?
Usually for back teeth, yes—crowns greatly reduce the risk of cracking.

What if my case isn’t suited for same-day?
We’ll explain why and discuss alternatives (lab crown, onlay, or other options).

Pricing & Appointments

We provide transparent pricing before treatment begins and can combine visits if you’re traveling or on a tight schedule. Our English-friendly coordinators help with quotes and documentation for private insurance reimbursement.
