With same-day tooth restoration, crucial repairs can be completed in a single appointment, including:

• Same-day crowns

Dr. Peña combines digital imaging, on-site milling, and expert craftsmanship to deliver high-quality restorations in just a few hours without sacrificing durability or appearance.

How Does Same-Day Dentistry Compare to Traditional Dental Care?

Quality

We use advanced imaging and materials that rival traditional lab-made restorations. Each crown or restoration is custom-designed using precise 3D scanning and crafted from high-grade ceramic for a natural look and long-lasting performance.

Time Savings

Traditional restorations often take two to three visits spread over several weeks. Same-day dentistry reduces treatment time to a single visit, which means less time off work, fewer injections, and faster relief.

Cost

While the initial cost may be comparable to traditional methods, same-day crowns can be more economical when considering the time saved and the elimination of temporary restorations and follow-up visits.

Step-by-Step Treatment Guide

1. Digital Scan: Dr. Peña uses a small intraoral camera to scan your teeth, eliminating the need for gooey impressions.
2. Design: The 3D model of your tooth is created and digitally shaped to fit your bite and smile.
3. Creation: Your crown or restoration is milled right in the office from a block of ceramic using the CEREC milling machine.
4. Placement: The final piece is checked for a perfect fit, polished, and permanently bonded into place.
