Same-Day Crowns
Restore Your Smile in Just One Visit
If you have a damaged, cracked, or severely decayed tooth, waiting weeks for a permanent restoration can be frustrating. Traditional dental crowns often require multiple appointments, temporary crowns, and a lengthy wait while an outside dental lab fabricates your restoration.
At Pelican Dental Care, we’ve made the process faster, more convenient, and more comfortable for our patients. Thanks to our new in-house Glidewell milling technology, we can design, create, and place custom same-day crowns right here in our Redondo Beach office.
That means fewer appointments, no temporary crown, and a fully restored smile in a single visit.
Whether you have a damaged tooth that needs protection or an older crown that needs replacement, our same-day crown technology allows us to deliver beautiful, long-lasting results without the wait.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom restoration that covers the entire visible portion of a tooth. Crowns are designed to strengthen and protect damaged teeth while restoring their appearance and function.
Dental crowns are commonly recommended when a tooth:
• Has extensive decay that cannot be repaired with a filling.
• Is cracked, fractured, or weakened
• Has undergone root canal therapy
• Is severely worn down
• Needs cosmetic improvement
• Has a failing or damaged existing crown
• Supports a dental bridge
A crown acts like a protective cap, allowing you to chew comfortably, speak naturally, and smile confidently.
What Makes Same-Day Crowns Different?
For decades, receiving a dental crown involved multiple appointments spread out over several weeks.
The traditional process required taking impressions, sending them to an outside laboratory, wearing a temporary crown, and returning for a second appointment once the final restoration was completed.
Our advanced Glidewell milling system allows us to complete the entire process in one appointment.
Traditional Crowns
- Two or more dental visits
- Physical impressions
- Temporary crown placement
- Several weeks of waiting
- Additional time away from work, school, or family
Same-Day Crowns
- Completed in a single appointment
- Digital scanning technology
- No temporary crown required
- In-office fabrication
- Immediate results
Our patients love the convenience of restoring their smiles without multiple trips to the dentist.
Advanced Glidewell Technology at Pelican Dental Care
Pelican Dental Care recently invested in a state-of-the-art Glidewell milling machine, bringing advanced restorative technology directly to our Redondo Beach office.
Instead of relying on an outside dental laboratory, we can now create custom crowns in-house with remarkable precision and efficiency.
The Glidewell system combines:
- Digital scanning technology
- Computer-assisted crown design
- In-office milling capabilities
- High-quality ceramic materials
This technology allows our team to carefully control every step of the process while delivering beautiful, accurate restorations in a fraction of the time required by traditional methods.
Patients benefit from faster treatment, exceptional precision, and a more streamlined dental experience.
Benefits of Same-Day Crowns
Patients throughout Redondo Beach and the South Bay appreciate the many advantages of same-day crown technology.
Save Valuable Time
Life is busy. Between work, family responsibilities, and personal commitments, finding time for multiple dental appointments can be challenging.
Same-day crowns allow you to complete treatment in a single visit.
No Temporary Crowns
Temporary crowns can loosen, crack, or become uncomfortable while waiting for the permanent restoration.
With same-day crowns, there is no need for a temporary restoration because your final crown is completed during your appointment.
Exceptional Precision
Digital scanning technology provides highly accurate measurements that contribute to a comfortable fit and natural bite.
Beautiful, Natural Appearance
Our ceramic crowns are carefully designed to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.
Most people will never know you have a crown.
Long-Lasting Durability
Modern ceramic materials are strong, durable, and capable of handling everyday chewing forces.
With proper care, your crown can provide years of reliable function.
Immediate Results
Instead of waiting weeks for treatment to be completed, you can enjoy a restored smile the very same day.
The Same-Day Crown Process
One of the biggest advantages of same-day crowns is how simple and efficient the treatment process has become.
Comprehensive Evaluation
Every treatment begins with a thorough examination of your tooth and overall oral health.
We will determine whether a same-day crown is the best solution and discuss your treatment options.
Tooth Preparation
If a crown is recommended, we carefully remove any damaged or weakened portions of the tooth and prepare it for restoration.
Our goal is to preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible while creating a strong foundation for your new crown.
Digital Scanning
Gone are the days of messy impression materials. Instead, we use advanced digital scanning technology to capture highly detailed images of your tooth and surrounding structures.
These digital impressions provide outstanding accuracy while improving patient comfort.
Custom Crown Design
Using specialized software, we create a custom crown designed specifically for your smile.
Every detail is carefully considered, including:
- Tooth shape
- Bite alignment
- Function
- Color matching
- Overall esthetics
In-House Milling
Once the design is finalized, the information is sent directly to our Glidewell milling machine.
The machine fabricates your crown from a durable ceramic block with exceptional precision
Because the crown is created in our office, we can closely monitor every stage of the process.
Placement and Final Adjustments
Once milling is complete, we carefully evaluate the fit and appearance of the crown before permanently bonding it into place.
You leave the office with a fully restored tooth and a confident smile.
