Once the crown is ready and Dr. Naylor has cleaned and prepared your tooth, the crown will be checked for fit and adjustments will be made, if necessary.
Permanent Crown Placement
After final adjustments, Dr. Naylor will use a powerful dental cement to bond your crown into place permanently, restoring your smile and your bite.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get same-day crowns on my front teeth?
%402x%20(2).svg){kind=icon}
Yes! A same-day crown will cover any visible discoloration or chips on your tooth. This coverage is especially beneficial in the case of highly-visible front teeth. Dr. Naylor will match it to the color of your other teeth so it fits in with the rest of your smile.
How do I care for my same-day crown?
You can treat your same-day crown just like a natural tooth. Make sure you brush twice a day for at least two minutes, ensuring you scrub the full surface of every tooth. You should floss at least once per day, preferably at night. This should only take a few minutes, but be sure to floss against the tooth and below the gum line. You should also see Dr. Naylor every six months for a check-up to make sure that your dental work and teeth are healthy.
Are same-day dental crowns covered by insurance?
Same-day dental crowns that are required for restorative purposes, such as severe cavities or a broken tooth, are typically covered by insurance. The exact amount of coverage you receive will depend on the deductible and yearly limits of your policy.
If you require a crown for cosmetic purposes, such as covering up a discolored tooth, the procedure may not be covered by insurance. To make sure your procedure is covered, we recommend consulting with your insurer.
How do I know if I need a same-day crown?
If you have a damaged or severely decayed tooth, or are in need of emergency care, you may need a same-day crown. You should see Dr. Naylor if you are experiencing tooth pain and discomfort, or if your teeth are visibly damaged or discolored. Depending on the cause of your dental issues, they may recommend a same-day crown or another restorative treatment.
How long do same-day crowns last?
A well-made and properly placed same-day crown can last up to 15 years. It’s critical to maintain good oral health habits to enhance your crown’s longevity. These practices include brushing twice per day, flossing once per day, and seeing Dr. Naylor every 6 months for a professional cleaning and exam.
What issues can a same-day crown treat?
Most commonly, same-day crowns are used to protect and restore teeth that have been damaged by a serious cavity, or that have been cracked or broken by dental trauma, like an accident or injury. Because same-day crowns cover up and protect your entire tooth structure, they are ideal for preventing further complications and restoring the shape, appearance, and function of damaged teeth.
Same-day crowns are also used to cover up and protect teeth after root canal treatment. In more rare cases, they may also be used for cosmetic dentistry if other treatments like veneers and dental bonding are not appropriate.
