Same-Day Crowns in Portland
A strong, beautiful crown, without multiple trips
When a tooth is cracked, worn, or has a large filling, a crown protects it so you can chew comfortably again. We offer same-day crowns (designed and made in-office) and expert lab-crafted crowns when that’s the better choice for your bite or esthetics.
When a crown is a great idea
Large old fillings or fractured cusps
After a root canal
Severe wear or enamel erosion
Cosmetic upgrades to misshapen/discolored teeth
Your crown, step by step
Comfort-first numbing (and sedation if desired)
Conservative shaping of the tooth to make space for the crown
Digital scan
Design + mill your crown in-office for many cases—often in a single visit
Try-in for a seamless look
Bonding and bite check—you’re done
If your case benefits from a specialized ceramic or custom layering, we’ll partner with a top lab and place a durable temporary while your final crown is made.
Materials & fit
We choose modern ceramics that balance strength and esthetics. We’ll match the shade to your smile and check your bite thoroughly for comfort.
Sedation available
If you’re dental-anxious or just want a calmer experience, ask about oral or IV sedation with our on-site CRNA.
Care & longevity
Daily brushing and flossing, plus routine checkups, help crowns last many years. Avoid chewing ice and using teeth as tools (we all do it!).
FAQ
Can every crown be done same-day?
Not always. Some cases look/fit best with a custom lab crown. We’ll review your options together.
Will my crown look natural?
Yes—modern ceramics mimic real enamel. We fine-tune shape and shade for a seamless blend.
How long does a same-day appointment take?
Plan on about 2–3 hours start to finish (you’ll have breaks).
