Exceptional Dental Care in Smyrna
Permanent Crowns in Just One Visit
No more waiting weeks, wearing temporary crowns, or returning for multiple appointments. At Smyrna Dental Studio, our same-day crown technology enables you to walk in with a damaged tooth and walk out with a beautiful, fully permanent crown, all in a single visit - combining efficiency, convenience, and quality in one appointment.
What Are Same-Day Crowns & How They Work
What Is a Same-Day Crown?
A same-day crown is a full dental crown that’s designed, milled, and placed in one session using advanced digital (CAD/CAM) technology. Instead of taking traditional impressions, sending them to a lab, and waiting, we use intraoral scanners and in-office milling machines to fabricate a custom crown right in our clinic.
This method eliminates the need for temporary crowns and multiple visits, while still providing a durable and aesthetic restoration.
What Makes Same-Day Crowns Different
Feature | Same-Day Crown | Traditional Crown |
|---|---|---|
Number of visits | 1 (approx. 2 hours) | 2–3 visits over weeks |
Impressions | Digital scan | Goopy putty impressions |
Temporary crown | Not needed | Required during lab fabrication |
Precision & fit | High accuracy via software | Accuracy depends on lab work |
Final restoration | Delivered same day | Delivered later from a lab |
Because we’re doing everything in-house, the process is faster, more convenient, and often more comfortable for patients.

Who Is a Candidate?
Most patients needing crowns are good candidates for same-day restorations, such as teeth that are:
Cracked or fractured
Severely decayed
Worn down
Treated with a root canal
In need of the replacement of an old crown
However, each case is unique; our dentists will evaluate your tooth structure, surrounding bone, and aesthetic goals to confirm whether a same-day crown is the best option.
