Same-day crown technology is at the cutting edge of UK dentistry and 543 is delighted to bring this service to our patients. Traditionally, crowns had to be sent off to a lab and took over 2 weeks to make. Same-day crowns are made in-house using digital scanning and a state-of-the-art milling machine. The result is a beautiful, natural-looking crown that is ready to be fitted on the same day. Our digital intraoral scanners also make the process much more comfortable for patients.

Why choose same-day crowns?
Besides the fact that same-day crowns reduce the process to just one day and one trip to the dentist, there are plenty of other reasons to choose them over traditional crowns. Firstly, same-day crowns are more cost-efficient due to requiring fewer visits to the surgery. The use of a digital scanner also means that we capture the exact shape and colour of your teeth, allowing us to create an incredibly lifelike and well-fitting replacement tooth.
How it works
The first step of same-day crowns is a digital scan. A tiny camera is used on the end of a handpiece to scan your teeth and gums, producing high-quality images of your mouth. The dentist then uses these images to design a highly accurate crown that will look natural and fit comfortably in your mouth. The crown is then milled in-house while you wait and fitted on the same day.
FAQs
Do same-day crowns require traditional impressions?
No. That’s one of the key benefits of a same day crown. We use a digital intraoral scanner to take the impression which is clean, fast and highly accurate.
How long do same-day crowns take?
Every case is different but in general a single crown can be prepared, designed and produced in around 3 hours. This saves time, as all this can be completed in just a single visit.
Will the crown match my other teeth?
This is one of the great things about the technology we use; the material used to create your crown is highly aesthetic and can be characterised to create a good match with the surrounding teeth.
Are same-day crowns as good as lab crowns?
Same-day crowns offer many benefits over lab crowns. They are quick to make, highly accurate, durable, and eradicate the need for a temporary crown – meaning your tooth is fully protected right away. However, there are some cases where the dentist might recommend a lab-made crown.
