Same-Day Dental Crowns in Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia
A broken, worn, or decayed tooth doesn’t need to disrupt your week. At Dentists on the Square, we use CEREC technology to create and place beautiful, durable dental crowns in just one visit. No messy impressions, no temporary crowns, no follow-up appointment — just efficient, expert care designed around your schedule.
Located near Rittenhouse Square, our Philadelphia dental office combines digital precision and restorative expertise to deliver crowns that look natural and feel comfortable in a single day.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged or compromised tooth. It restores the tooth’s shape, strength, and appearance while protecting it from further damage.
Crowns are commonly recommended when a tooth has:
- A large cavity or old filling
- Cracks or fractures
- Significant wear or erosion
- Been treated with root canal therapy
- Cosmetic concerns that cannot be addressed with a filling
Crowns can also be used to support dental bridges or top dental implants.
What Makes CEREC Crowns Different?
Traditional crowns typically require two appointments and temporary restorations while your crown is made at an off-site lab. With CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics), we create your crown right here in our office — and place it the same day.
Benefits of same-day crowns with CEREC:
- One visit instead of two or more
- No temporary crown needed
- Digital impressions — no trays or putty
- High-quality ceramic materials
- Beautiful, lifelike appearance
- Long-lasting and metal-free
We use advanced software to scan, design, mill, and place your crown in a matter of hours — so you leave with a fully restored smile.
The CEREC Crown Process
Here’s what you can expect during your appointment:
- Digital Scan – We use an intraoral camera to capture detailed 3D images of your tooth and bite.
- Design – Your dentist digitally designs your custom crown to match the shape, color, and function of your natural teeth.
- Milling – Our in-office milling machine crafts the crown from a solid block of ceramic.
- Placement – We bond the finished crown to your tooth, make final adjustments, and polish it for a flawless result.
The entire process usually takes about two hours, and you walk out the same day with a fully functional, permanent crown.
When Is a Crown the Best Option?
Crowns are often recommended when a tooth is too damaged for a filling or inlay but still strong enough to save. They’re ideal for patients with:
- Cracked or fractured teeth
- Deep decay that compromises tooth structure
- Root canal-treated teeth
- Worn-down enamel from grinding or erosion
- Misshapen or discolored teeth that need coverage
If you're unsure whether you need a crown, our dentists will walk you through your options during a comprehensive exam.
