When a tooth cracks, breaks, or needs a stronger restoration, speed matters. At Your Family Dentist Liverpool, we use advanced CAD/CAM technology (often called CEREC) to design, mill, and fit same-day crowns in a single visit—so you can get back to life with confidence.
What Is a Same-Day Crown?
A same-day crown is a custom ceramic cap that covers and protects your tooth. Instead of taking messy impressions and waiting weeks for a lab, we create your crown on-site using precise digital scans and a computer-guided milling unit. Most patients leave with their permanent crown in about a few hours.
Key advantages at a glance
- One appointment, start to finish
- No temporary crown (so no risk of it loosening or breaking)
- Digital scans—no gooey impression trays
- Beautiful, metal-free ceramic that blends with your smile
How the Process Works (Step-by-Step)
- Digital Scan – We take a quick 3D scan of your teeth. It’s comfortable and highly accurate.
- Design with Digital Smile Design – We virtually shape your new crown to fit your bite and look natural with your smile.
- On-Site Milling – A high-precision machine mills your crown from a strong ceramic block matched to your tooth shade.
- Bonding & Finishing – We try in the crown, fine-tune the fit, and bond it securely. You walk out ready to eat and smile.
Why Patients Choose Same-Day Crowns in Liverpool
Save Time Without Sacrificing Quality
Busy workdays, school runs, and life admin—fitting multiple dental visits is hard. Same-day crowns compress the whole process into one appointment while maintaining excellent fit and aesthetics.
Comfort from Start to Finish
Digital scans replace traditional impressions, and skipping a temporary crown means less sensitivity and fewer surprises between visits.
Natural-Looking, Durable Results
Modern ceramics mimic natural enamel and are resistant to staining. With good oral care, crowns typically last 10–15 years (often longer).
Fewer Injections, Fewer Appointments
One appointment means one round of numbing and fewer disruptions to your week.
Precision Fit
Computer-guided design supports a crown that fits your bite accurately, which helps protect the tooth underneath.
Is a Same-Day Crown Right for You?
You may be a great candidate if you have:
- A cracked, fractured, or heavily filled tooth
- A tooth weakened after root canal treatment
- A broken or worn-down tooth needing full-coverage protection
- A cosmetic concern where a crown can improve shape and colour
When we might recommend alternatives:
- Teeth requiring complex multi-unit bridgework
- Very deep fractures below the gumline
- Certain bite or spacing situations where lab artistry is preferred
We’ll assess your tooth, gums, and bite to recommend the best, most conservative option.
Same-Day Crowns vs Traditional Crowns
| Feature | Same-Day Crowns | Traditional Crowns |
|---|---|---|
| Appointments | 1 visit | 2+ visits |
| Impressions | Digital scan | Putty impressions |
| Temporary Crown | Not needed | Worn for 1–3 weeks |
| Turnaround | Same day | 1–3 weeks |
| Aesthetics | Natural, metal-free | Natural (options vary) |
Aftercare & Longevity
Looking after your crown is much like caring for natural teeth:
- Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste
- Floss or use interdental brushes around the crown margins
- Wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth
- Keep 6-monthly check-ups and cleans so we can monitor the health of your crown and gums
With proper care, most crowns provide many years of service and comfort.
Beyond Repair: Fast Smile Upgrades
Because the same digital workflow is so efficient, it also supports same-day smile enhancements. We can combine crowns with veneers, whitening, composite bonding, and gentle gum reshaping—guided by Digital Smile Design—to preview and achieve a confident, natural result quickly.
Cost & Payment Options
We’ll always discuss costs up front. Many patients find same-day crowns offer excellent value by reducing time off work and avoiding temporary crown issues. We also provide flexible payment options to help you plan treatment comfortably.
