Skip the Temporary Crown and the Second Visit
Traditional dental crowns often mean two separate appointments: one to prepare the tooth and take an impression, followed by weeks of wearing a temporary crown while a lab fabricates your permanent restoration. At Avery Dental Wellness, our in-office milling technology allows us to design, mill and place many crowns in a single visit, eliminating the wait, the temporary crown and the extra trip back to our office.
Dental crowns are one of the most versatile restorative treatments we offer, used to repair chipped or broken teeth, restore teeth damaged by decay, and protect weakened teeth from further harm. With same-day crowns, you get all the benefits of a durable, custom-fit restoration without the weeks of waiting that traditional crowns typically require.

How In-Office Milling Makes Same-Day Crowns Possible
Same-day crowns are possible thanks to advanced digital scanning and in-office milling technology, which allows us to design and fabricate your crown right here in our Dublin, OH office rather than sending impressions to an outside lab. Instead of a messy physical impression, we capture a precise digital scan of your tooth, which is used to design a crown that fits your exact bite and tooth shape.
That digital design is then sent directly to our in-office milling unit, which carves your custom crown from a solid block of durable ceramic material in under an hour, while you wait comfortably in our office. Once milled, the crown is checked for fit, adjusted as needed and bonded permanently to your tooth, all in the same appointment where your tooth was originally prepared.
Benefits of Choosing Same-Day Crowns
- One visit, start to finish – No temporary crown, no second appointment, and no weeks of waiting for a lab-made restoration.
- Precise, custom fit – Digital scanning technology captures an exact impression of your tooth, resulting in a crown that fits comfortably and functions naturally.
- Durable, long-lasting material – Same-day crowns are milled from solid, high-quality ceramic designed to withstand everyday biting and chewing for years.
- No messy impressions – Digital scans replace the traditional putty-based impression process, making the entire experience more comfortable.
- Fewer appointments, less time off work or school – Completing treatment in a single visit means less disruption to your schedule.
- Natural, tooth-colored appearance – Same-day crowns are shaded and shaped to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.

What to Expect from the Treatment
Cost
Dental crowns cost around $1,437 at Avery Dental Wellness. Insurance or a dental savings plan membership will likely help minimize your out-of-pocket cost.
Procedure Duration
Many crowns can be milled in-house and placed in a single visit. Ask Dr. Dennison to determine whether a same-day crown is the right option for your specific tooth.
Pain Level
Mild sensitivity or soreness is normal after your crown is placed. We offer a menu of comfort options throughout your visit, so call our office if you're concerned about pain.
Who Is a Candidate for Same-Day Crowns?
Many patients who need a crown are good candidates for the same-day option, including those with:
- A chipped, cracked or broken tooth in need of protection
- A cavity too large to be restored with a standard filling
- A tooth weakened by previous dental work, such as a large filling or root canal
- A desire to avoid a temporary crown and the wait for a lab-fabricated restoration
- Sufficient healthy tooth structure remaining to support a crown
Not every case is suitable for same-day milling, which is why Dr. Dennison evaluates each tooth individually during your visit to confirm whether the same-day process is the right fit, or whether a traditional lab-made crown would serve you better.
Get a Permanent Crown Without the Wait
Why wear a temporary crown for weeks when you don't have to? Same-day crowns let you walk out of our office with a permanent, custom-fit restoration in a single appointment.
