Strong, Natural-Looking Restorations in a Single Visit
When a tooth is weakened or missing significant structure, a crown protects it, allowing you to chew comfortably again. St. Louis patients appreciate our same-day process, which designs, mills, and places a custom crown in one visit—no goopy impressions or weeks in a temporary.
When a Crown or Bridge Is Recommended
Our St. Louis dentist will examine your tooth and discuss the best option for strength, comfort, and longevity. Common reasons include:
- Cracked or fractured tooth
- Tooth with a large filling that’s failing
- After a root canal to protect the tooth
- Worn or misshapen tooth that affects your bite
- Tooth replacement with a bridge (crowns anchor the false tooth)
- Cosmetic improvement when other options aren’t ideal
What to Expect With Same-Day Crowns
- Exam & Plan – We review your goals, take necessary images, and confirm that a crown is the best solution.
- Comfort & Prep – The tooth is gently shaped to make room for the new crown.
- Digital Scan – A quick camera scan replaces messy impressions.
- Design & Mill – Your crown is designed chairside and milled in-office while you relax.
- Try-In & Adjust – We check the fit and bite, making minor adjustments on the spot.
- Bond & Polish – The crown is permanently bonded, polished, and ready for everyday use.
Bridge difference: When replacing a missing tooth with a bridge, crowns are placed on the teeth next to the space and a custom false tooth connects between them.
