A Cracked or Broken Tooth Doesn’t Have to Wait
A crown that breaks, a tooth that cracks under pressure, a root canal that needs to be sealed — these are emergencies that need same-day solutions. With our CEREC in-house milling technology, we design and mill your permanent crown right here while you wait. No temporary crown, no second appointment, no lab turnaround time. You walk in with a problem and walk out with a permanent fix.
Not Every Broken Tooth Needs the Same Fix
Not every damaged tooth needs the same level of repair. The right approach depends on how much of the tooth is still healthy.
A crown covers the entire tooth and is used when damage is more extensive, like after a root canal or when a large filling has failed. An inlay fits within the grooves of a back tooth, while an onlay covers one or more cusps when more support is needed.
All three are made from high-quality porcelain and designed to blend in with your natural teeth. In most cases, they can be completed in-house, the same day.
Built to Last, and Matched to Your Mouth
Every crown and restoration is designed using digital scans of your teeth — no messy impressions, no guessing. The result fits precisely and looks natural. We’ll match the shade to your surrounding teeth so nothing looks out of place.
What is a dental crown?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap placed over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. It’s used after a root canal, when a tooth is severely cracked or decayed, or when a large filling fails. At DentCare Now, crowns are designed and milled in-house using CEREC technology and placed the same day.
