Convenience and efficiency are paramount, even in healthcare. Gone are the days that required multiple dental appointments, which would often make people anxious. An innovative technology — same-day crown – has bloomed as a revolutionary dental crown procedure, helping people avoid long waits, multiple dental appointments, and uncomfortable temporary crowns. Royal Crest Dentistry in Markham is proud to offer this cutting-edge procedure, providing patients with a seamless experience from start to finish.
“Same-day crowns eliminate the need for impressions. During a single visit, we’ll design, craft, and securely affix your crown to your tooth, rendering temporary crowns unnecessary,” says Dr. Zina, lead dentist and owner of Royal Crest Dentistry.
She is pleased to explain the procedures involved and other related things you should know before you opt for ‘Same-Day Crown.’
In the olden days, before the arrival of milling machine technology, getting a dental crown was a lengthy process. It took around 2-3 appointments and involved uncomfortable temporary crowns. With the advent of modern milling machine technology, the process has been dramatically improved, allowing patients to receive their permanent crown in just one appointment.
Streamlined Process for Same-Day Crown
The process of Same-Day Crown involves truly simple steps. The procedure starts with an initial and thorough examination. This examination will determine the eligibility of the tooth to receive crowns. Conditions such as decay, large fillings, root canals, or cracks may require crowns. The dentist will identify the tooth that needs the treatment. “During the crown appointment, we will anesthetize the affected tooth, and prepare it to receive the crown,” said Dr. Zina.
Shaping the Crown with Precision
Once your affected tooth is prepared, a highly accurate digital impression of your mouth will be taken using a 3D scan. This scan ensures more accuracy and preciseness. Dr. Zina explained, “We no longer require impressions or the use of trays for these procedures. This 3D scan will create a digital model of your mouth, which we will use to design your crown.”
Following that, the dentists will create the porcelain crown on-site using the milling machine, while you wait. Royal Crest Dentistry has their in-house milling machine, with which they fasten and streamline the process of getting crowns.

Fixing the Crown
After the crown is crafted, it is carefully fitted and adjusted as per requirement to ensure optimal comfort and fit. Once you are satisfied with the fit, the crown is cemented into place. As said earlier, it is a same-day procedure, and there is no need for a second appointment or temporary crown. After a final polish, the new crown is ready to be used immediately.
According to Dr. Zina, this treatment provides patients with a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution, without making them uncomfortable and feel anxious about dental procedures.
Cost Involved in Same-Day Crown:
Now you might have a question about its prices. Well, Dr. Zina also provides a clear-cut answer for your question.
As per Dr. Zina, the cost of Same-Day Crown typically depends on several factors, including the tooth that needs the crown, the number of crowns needed, requirement of any additional treatments, and whether the crown is part of a larger restoration like dental bridge.
However, generally in Markham, the cost of Same-Day Crown with insurance typically ranges from $200 to $600. On the flip side, the cost without insurance can range from $800 to $1,300. Book a consultation with Dr. Zina and team at royalcrestdentistry.com, to know the estimation, after examination.
