Same Day Crowns in Fairfield, CT

At Aesthetic Dentistry of Fairfield, we know your time is valuable. That’s why we offer same day crowns using advanced CEREC technology. Instead of waiting weeks for a crown from an outside lab, living with a temporary, and coming back for a second appointment, you can leave our Southport office with a strong, natural-looking permanent crown in a single visit.

Why Choose Same Day Crowns?

Same day crowns offer the quality you expect with a level of convenience traditional crowns simply can’t match. You’ll need just one appointment, which means less time off work and fewer trips to the dentist. There’s no temporary crown to worry about, so you won’t have to be careful with what you eat or deal with a temporary that falls off. There are no goopy impressions either, since our digital scanner captures a highly accurate 3D image of your tooth in minutes. And because your crown is designed and milled with computer precision, you get an excellent fit and a natural appearance that blends seamlessly with your smile.

Our Same Day Crown Technology

Our practice invests in the latest dental technology so our patients receive precise, predictable results in a comfortable setting. The CEREC system uses a digital intraoral scanner to create a detailed 3D model of your tooth and bite. Using this model, Dr. Lee designs your crown to match the shape, size, and contour of your natural teeth.

Once the design is complete, it’s sent to our Primemill, a high-precision milling unit that carves your crown from a solid block of tooth-colored ceramic. The Primemill is known for its speed, accuracy, and ability to produce fine detail, allowing us to create restorations that look and function like natural teeth. Your crown is then finished, polished, and color-matched before it’s bonded into place.

The Prosthodontist Difference

Not every dentist who offers same day crowns has the same level of training in restorative dentistry. Dr. Christine Lee, DMD, MMSc, FACP, is a board-certified prosthodontist, a specialist in restoring and replacing teeth, with advanced training from Harvard and Penn Dental Medicine.

That specialized expertise matters. A crown isn’t just about covering a tooth; it needs to fit precisely, support a healthy bite, and look beautiful alongside your natural teeth. Dr. Lee combines the convenience of same day technology with the eye for detail and functional expertise that comes from years of specialized training, so you get a crown that is both fast and exceptional.

Frequently Asked Questions About Same Day Crowns

Are same day crowns as strong as traditional crowns?

Yes. Same day crowns are made from high-quality, durable ceramic materials designed to withstand everyday biting and chewing. With proper care, they can last for many years.

Will my same day crown look natural?
Absolutely. Our crowns are made from tooth-colored ceramic that mimics the translucency and shade of natural enamel. Dr. Lee carefully matches the color and shape to your surrounding teeth.

Does getting a same day crown hurt?

The area is fully numbed before treatment, so most patients feel little to no discomfort. Our relaxing office amenities and gentle approach help make your visit as comfortable as possible. Sedation options are also available for patients with dental anxiety.

How long does the appointment take?
Most same day crown appointments take about two hours from start to finish, though timing can vary depending on your individual needs.

How do I care for my same day crown?

Care for your crown just like your natural teeth. Brush twice a day, floss daily, and visit us for regular cleanings and checkups. If you grind or clench your teeth, Dr. Lee may recommend a night guard to protect your crown and natural teeth.
