What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are custom-made caps that cover a damaged, weakened, or unattractive tooth. They restore the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are an excellent solution for teeth that are cracked, broken, worn down, or have large fillings. They also protect a tooth after a root canal and support dental bridges.
Traditional crowns require multiple appointments and temporary crowns, but with same-day crowns, we complete the entire process in just one visit—saving you time without compromising quality.
Why Choose Same-Day Crowns?
With same-day crowns in Spokane Valley, you avoid the hassle of return visits and temporary restorations. Using CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) technology, we design, mill, and place your crown all in one appointment.
Benefits of Same-Day Crowns in Spokane Valley, WA:
- No temporary crown needed
- Fewer injections and less discomfort
- More convenient—only one visit
- Digital impressions (no messy trays)
- Natural-looking ceramic matched to your teeth
Preparing for Your Same-Day Crown
Before we place your crown, we evaluate your tooth using digital X-rays, CBCT scanners, and intraoral cameras to get a full picture of your oral health. We will discuss your options and ensure a same-day crown is right for you.
You do not need to fast or take any special medication before the procedure, but if you are feeling anxious, we offer nitrous oxide for comfort and relaxation.
The Same-Day Crown Procedure
When you arrive at our Spokane Valley office, we make your experience as comfortable as possible. Enjoy our pillows, blankets, music, hot beverages, and free Wi-Fi while we get started.

- Digital Imaging: We capture a 3D digital scan of your tooth—no molds required.

Aftercare for Your New Crown
Taking care of your same-day crown is simple. Treat it like a natural tooth:
- Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush
- Floss gently around the crown
