Same-day Crowns in Austin, TX
You chipped your tooth on something small—maybe a popcorn kernel or a piece of hard candy. Now it aches when you chew, and the thought of making multiple appointments, dealing with temporary crowns, and missing work doesn’t sound appealing at all. At Alta Dental, we get it. That’s why we offer Same-day Crowns in Austin, so you can get a quicker, more comfortable way to fix your smile. No long waits, no second visit weeks later. Just one visit, and you’ll walk out with a brand new crown that looks and feels natural.
What are Same-day Crowns?
Same-day crowns are tooth-shaped restorations that cover and protect a damaged tooth. Unlike traditional crowns that require multiple appointments and temporary restorations, these are made and placed in one visit. With modern technology, there’s no need to wait weeks for a dental lab to send your crown.
At Alta Dental, we use advanced technology like digital impressions and computer-aided design to create a custom crown that fits your smile perfectly. These days, dental crowns are made with strong, esthetic ceramics that match the color and shape of your natural tooth. The whole process happens right in our office, and most patients are amazed at how fast and easy it is.
Benefits of Same-day Crowns
When it comes to restorative dentistry, convenience and comfort matter. Same-day dental crowns have several advantages over traditional crowns.
-
No Temporary Restorations Needed
Temporary crowns can be uncomfortable and prone to falling out. Same-day crowns eliminate the need for those, so you don’t have to deal with the hassle. -
Just One Appointment
Forget scheduling multiple visits weeks apart. You can fix your smile in just a few hours during one visit. -
Custom Fit and Natural Appearance
With digital scans and computer-aided design, your new crown is tailored for a precise fit and a seamless match with your other teeth. -
Strong, Long-lasting Results
These crowns are made from durable, aesthetic ceramics that resist wear and provide a permanent restoration that lasts.
Same-day Crowns Procedure
The same day crown process is pretty simple, and we’ll walk you through every step.
1: Consultation and Exam
We start with a quick exam to evaluate your tooth. Whether it’s a cracked tooth, a discolored tooth, or decay, we’ll determine if a crown is the right treatment.
2: Local Anesthesia
We’ll numb the area around the tooth using local anesthesia. This helps you stay comfortable and pain-free during the process.
3: Prep the Tooth
We’ll gently remove the decayed or fractured part of the tooth. This prevents the decay or fracture extending further into the tooth.
4: Digital Scan
Instead of traditional molds, we use a digital impression to create a 3D image of your tooth. It’s comfortable, fast, and mess-free. The scan is then used to design and mill your crown right here at Alta Dental. No need to send it off to a lab.
5: Fitting and Final Adjustments
Once the crown is ready, we make final adjustments to ensure comfort and aesthetics. It’s bonded to your tooth that same day.
6: You’re Done!
In just one visit, your tooth is restored, and your smile is back. No second visit, no temporary crowns, and no long waits.

FAQs
How long do same-day crowns last?
At Alta Dental, we make same-day dental crowns with strong and reliable materials. With proper care, your day crown can last many years. Regular dental checkups help us monitor your crown and overall oral health. We always guide our patients on how to take care of their crowns at home. Good hygiene habits will help your crown stay strong and functional.
Are same-day crowns as strong as traditional crowns?
Yes, the ceramics we use are designed to handle normal biting and chewing, just like traditional crowns. With computer-aided design, your custom crown is made to fit and function well. For many patients, same-day crowns are a great long-term solution. We’ll help you decide if you’re a good candidate based on your teeth and needs.
Do same-day crowns work for all teeth?
Same-day crowns are a great option for most patients, especially for restoring molars. However, there are some situations, such as certain dental implant cases or cosmetic cases, where other types of crowns might be better. We’ll examine your tooth, discuss your dental history, and help you figure out the best path forward. Whether it’s for a decayed tooth, a cracked tooth, or a worn one, we’ll give you the right recommendation. If another treatment is better, we’ll explain your options.
What if I’ve had a root canal? Can I still get a same-day crown?
Absolutely. Many patients who’ve had root canal treatment benefit from same-day crowns. The crown protects the natural tooth structure that remains after a root canal. It restores the tooth’s function and appearance in just one visit. We’ll ensure the entire process is comfortable and effective for you.
Will my same-day crown look natural?
Yes, and we match the color, shape, and size of your crown to blend in with your other teeth. Using digital impressions and advanced tools, we focus on aesthetics as much as function. You’ll leave the office with a complete smile that looks and feels right.
