Ceramic crowns designed, milled and placed in one visit when possible.
Ceramic crowns designed, milled and placed in one visit when possible.
A same-day ceramic crown is designed from a 3D scan and milled in the clinic, so many crowns are fitted in a single visit. At L'Oris in São Paulo, Brazil, Dra. Cristina uses CEREC CAD/CAM, with no impression trays and no temporary crown.

A same-day crown is a ceramic crown designed and milled in the office during your appointment, instead of being sent to a lab. We scan the tooth in 3D, design the crown on screen, mill it from a ceramic block, and bond it in place. You leave with the final crown that day, with no putty impressions and no temporary crown.
Plan on about 120 minutes for one crown, from preparing the tooth to bonding the final piece. In most cases it's done in a single visit. Several crowns, or a tooth that first needs a root canal or gum treatment, can take more appointments. We confirm the timing after your exam.
We use a chairside CAD/CAM system: a 3D intraoral scanner captures the tooth, software designs the crown, and an in-office milling unit carves it from a solid ceramic block. L'Oris has worked with in-office milling since 2014.
Most are milled from high-strength ceramic blocks, such as lithium disilicate or zirconia-reinforced ceramics. These materials are strong enough for chewing and can match the color and translucency of your natural teeth. We choose the material and shade for each tooth and its position in the mouth.
With good care, ceramic crowns stay in function for many years. How long depends on your bite, grinding, gum health, hygiene, and regular checkups. We don't promise a fixed number of years, because every mouth is different, but we explain what helps your crown last.
You leave with the final crown, so there's no temporary crown that could come loose during your trip and no second visit to wait for. There are also no putty impressions. Not every tooth is a candidate, though: very damaged teeth or complex cases may need a lab-made crown or another treatment first.
Send us recent X-rays and photos before your trip so we can plan ahead. Eat before the appointment, since it lasts about two hours, and let us know about any medication or health condition. If you also want whiter teeth, whiten first: the crown is matched to your current shade, and ceramic doesn't whiten.
Some sensitivity to cold in the first days is normal, especially if the tooth had a large filling or decay close to the nerve. It usually fades on its own. If it gets worse, lasts more than a couple of weeks, or your bite feels high, let us know so we can check and adjust it.
