Same-Day Crowns treatment
Same-Day Crowns in El Paso, TX
Restore a damaged or weakened tooth in less time with same-day crowns in El Paso, TX, which can help repair cracked, broken, worn, or heavily filled teeth using digital crown design and custom tooth restoration.
At Mesa Street Dental, our team offers one-visit dental crowns designed to match your natural smile, restore chewing comfort, and protect weakened teeth without the delay of a traditional multi-visit crown process.
What Are Same-Day Crowns?
Same-day crowns are custom dental crowns that can be designed, made, and placed in a single appointment using digital dental technology. A crown is a tooth-shaped restoration that covers a damaged or weakened tooth to restore shape, strength, appearance, and function.
Same-day crown treatment may reduce the need for temporary crowns and multiple visits when your tooth is a good candidate.
How Do Same-Day Dental Crowns Work?
Same-day crowns at Mesa Street Dental use CEREC technology, digital impressions, computer-aided crown design and in-office milling to create and place a custom crown in one visit when appropriate.
Instead of taking traditional impressions and waiting for a dental lab, our dentist can scan the tooth, design a custom crown, create the restoration, and place the permanent crown during the same appointment.
Same-day dental crowns may be recommended for damaged tooth repair, cracked tooth restoration, broken crowns, worn teeth, or teeth with large fillings. If a tooth has deep infection or nerve damage, Root Canal Therapy may be needed before crown placement.
How Much Do Same-Day Crowns Cost in El Paso, TX?
The cost of a same-day crown depends on the tooth being treated, crown material, amount of remaining healthy tooth structure and complexity of the restoration. Additional procedures, such as a core buildup, gum treatment or root canal therapy, can also affect the overall cost.
After examining your tooth, your dentist will explain the recommended treatment and provide a personalized estimate. Mesa Street Dental can file your insurance claim on your behalf, but coverage and out-of-pocket costs depend on your individual plan.
Our dentist will examine the tooth, explain your crown options, and provide a personalized estimate. If dental insurance or payment options are available, our team can help you understand your estimated out-of-pocket cost before treatment begins.
Signs You May Need a Crown
Broken Tooth
A broken tooth may need a crown to restore shape, strength, and chewing function.

A crown can help protect a cracked tooth from further damage when enough tooth structure remains.
Large Filling
A tooth with a large filling may need a crown if the remaining tooth is weak.
Worn Tooth
Crowns can restore teeth worn down from grinding, bite pressure, or long-term use.
Root Canal Tooth
A crown is often recommended for a weakened back tooth after root canal therapy to help protect it.
Bite Discomfort

What To Consider Before Getting a Same-Day Crown
Before getting a same-day crown, your dentist needs to make sure the tooth can be restored with a crown. Some teeth may need root canal therapy, gum treatment, extraction, or another dental procedure first.
Same-day crowns may not be the best option for every case. Complex front-tooth shade matching, multiple crowns, severe bite problems, or advanced tooth damage may need a different approach. Your dentist will recommend the option that best protects your tooth and supports your long-term oral health.
What Our Patients Say About Us
What To Expect During Same-Day Crown Treatment
01
Tooth Evaluation
Our dentist examines the damaged tooth, bite, gums, and surrounding teeth.

The tooth is shaped so the crown can fit securely and comfortably.
03
Digital Impression
A digital scan is taken to create a precise model of your tooth.
04

Same-Day Crowns vs. Traditional Dental Crowns
Same-day crowns and traditional crowns both restore damaged teeth. The main difference is the timeline.
Traditional crowns usually require at least two visits wherein the dentist prepares the tooth, places a temporary crown, and sends impressions to a dental lab. The final crown is placed at a later visit.
Same-day crowns are designed and created during one appointment when the tooth is a good candidate. This can save time, reduce the need for a temporary crown, and help patients leave with a permanent dental crown the same day.
Digital CEREC Crowns for Natural-Looking Tooth Restoration
Mesa Street Dental uses CEREC technology to digitally scan, design, and create custom ceramic crowns in our West El Paso office. This process often eliminates the need for traditional impression trays, temporary crowns, and multiple appointments.
A same-day crown may be used to repair a cracked or broken tooth, protect a weakened tooth, restore a heavily filled tooth, or replace an older crown. Each restoration is designed to fit your bite, restore chewing function, and blend naturally with your smile.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do same-day crowns last?
Same-day crowns can last many years with good oral hygiene, regular dental checkups and proper care. Their lifespan depends on the crown material, tooth location, bite pressure, teeth-grinding habits and daily oral care.
Are same-day crowns permanent?
Same-day crowns are final dental restorations rather than temporary crowns. Once bonded into place, they are intended for long-term use, although any dental crown may eventually need repair or replacement.
Do same-day crowns hurt?
The tooth is usually numbed with local anesthetic during crown treatment, so you should not feel pain while the tooth is being prepared. Some temporary gum soreness, pressure or tooth sensitivity may occur afterward.
Can same-day crowns fix broken teeth?
Same-day crowns can often restore broken, cracked, worn or weakened teeth when enough healthy tooth structure remains to support the crown. A dental examination is necessary to determine whether the tooth can be restored.
What are same-day crowns made of?
Mesa Street Dental uses CEREC technology to create same-day crowns from durable ceramic materials. Our dentist will select an appropriate material based on the tooth’s location, bite pressure, remaining tooth structure and appearance needs.
How long does same-day crown treatment take?
Same-day crown treatment is generally completed during one appointment. The exact appointment length depends on tooth preparation, digital scanning, crown design, milling, finishing and final placement.
Are same-day crowns better than traditional crowns?
Same-day crowns are more convenient for many patients because the restoration can be completed in one visit without waiting for an outside dental laboratory. Traditional laboratory-made crowns may still be recommended for certain complex, highly customized or multi-tooth cases.
Can I eat after getting a same-day crown?
Follow the instructions provided by our dentist. You will generally need to wait until the numbness has worn off to avoid accidentally biting your cheek or tongue, and we may also advise avoiding very hard or sticky foods at first.
Who is a good candidate for same-day crowns?
A good candidate may have a broken, cracked, worn, heavily filled or weakened tooth that still has enough healthy structure to support a crown. An examination is needed to determine whether same-day crown treatment is appropriate.
How do I care for a same-day crown?
Brush twice daily, clean between the crown and neighboring teeth every day, and attend regular dental checkups and cleanings. Avoid chewing ice, biting hard objects or using your teeth to open packages. Tell your dentist if you grind or clench your teeth.
