Same-Day Dental Crowns in Temecula, CA
Do you ever feel like there just isn’t enough time in a day? Between work, grocery shopping, and family obligations, there’s little time for anything else! With any free time you do have, the last thing you want to do is schedule multiple dental visits. At Healthy Habit Dental Care, we understand that. Fortunately, we offer same-day dental crowns for patients like you to take care of their smile without the hassle! In just one appointment, you can come into our office with a damaged or decaying tooth and leave with a strong, beautiful smile.
Why Use Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that cover damaged or decaying teeth. Thanks to their custom design, these crowns look incredibly natural in your smile, mimicking the appearance of a natural tooth.
We may recommend dental crown treatment for a variety of reasons, including:
Fortifying a damaged tooth: Severely cracked or broken teeth can’t be left alone, especially if they’re causing you pain. While we may not be able to repair your tooth, we can use a dental crown to fortify its structure, rather than extract it! With a dental crown on top, you’re able to function normally, without worrying about your damaged tooth.- Covering a decaying tooth: Severe tooth decay erodes your enamel, leaving your teeth misshapen and in pain. By removing all signs of infection and placing a dental crown, we hide your tooth’s damaged structure!
- Protecting a tooth after a root canal: When bacteria enter the inner pulp chamber of your tooth, which houses nerves, connective tissues, and blood cells, it causes intense pain. By performing a root canal, we remove bacteria from your tooth and then seal it from further infection with a dental crown.
- Enhancing a tooth’s appearance: In addition to its restorative benefits, a dental crown also provides cosmetic benefits! By placing a custom crown, free of blemishes, stains, or chips, over your natural tooth, you create a more aesthetically pleasing smile.
Fortifying a damaged tooth: Severely cracked or broken teeth can’t be left alone, especially if they’re causing you pain. While we may not be able to repair your tooth, we can use a dental crown to fortify its structure, rather than However, it’s important to note that once we perform a crown procedure, it’s irreversible. Because we need to prepare your tooth by removing a small layer of enamel on all sides, the process permanently alters your tooth.

How We Make Same-Day Crowns Possible
At Healthy Habit Dental Care, we’re committed to providing our patients with the best of the best. In terms of technology, this includes our innovative CEREC machine.
CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic, which is a machine that allows us to craft your custom crowns in-house. Rather than sending your impressions and X-rays to a lab and waiting days for your custom crown, we make it in our office!
Our CEREC machine uses CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/manufacturing) technology to mill a block of porcelain into your custom crown. This process is incredibly detailed, using digital X-rays of your smile to ensure your crown fits perfectly.
Then, once your crown is ready, we’ll try it on over your prepared tooth. If it looks good and fits well, we will cement it in place, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing cover for your damaged tooth!
The Benefits of Same-Day Dental Crowns
Some may believe that same-day solutions aren’t as effective as other treatments, as they’re “rushed”. At Healthy Habit Dental Care, this couldn’t be further from the truth. With our CEREC machine, we deliver fast, high-quality results, providing you with a durable crown that lasts.
In fact, same-day dental procedures actually offer various benefits for patients, including:
- No disrupting your schedule: Scheduling one dental appointment can be difficult enough without needing to schedule multiple. Between work, family, and other responsibilities, finding time for yourself, let alone your teeth, is a challenge. Fortunately, thanks to our innovative CEREC machine, you only have one appointment to fit into your busy schedule.
- No temporary crown: With traditional dental crowns, the preparation process and final restoration placement are two separate appointments. To protect your prepared tooth and maintain the aesthetics of your smile, you typically wear a temporary crown. Unfortunately, these crowns are prone to coming loose, falling out, and causing sensitivity. With same-day crowns, you skip the temporary restoration and enjoy your final results that day.
- No second appointment: Because your same-day crown is a one-appointment treatment, you won’t have to return to our office for the second half of your treatment. Not only do same-day solutions save you time and trips to the dentist, but they also save you from paying a separate appointment fee! Instead, you can come into our office and leave that day with a new, functional crown.

Frequently Asked Questions
The cost of your crown procedure depends on a few factors.
While you won’t have to pay for multiple appointments, you will need to use ceramic as your crown material. Ceramic is high-quality and durable, which does make it more expensive than other crown options. However, the strength and stain resistance of these crowns make them a great investment in your smile.
Additionally, the number of teeth you need to crown also influences the price. Only fortifying one tooth with a crown will, of course, cost less than covering multiple teeth.
To help patients with any out-of-pocket costs, we partner with third-party financing companies that split your costs into manageable monthly payments! If you have any questions about insurance benefits, financing, or the cost of your dental crowns, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Healthy Habit Dental Care prioritizes patient comfort. Before preparing your teeth, we will apply a local anesthetic to numb your smile.
Additionally, if you experience dental anxiety that interferes with your ability to get dental work, we offer safe and effective sedation dentistry.
With oral conscious sedation, we provide you with a sedative pill that you take before coming to our office. By the time you arrive (driven by someone you trust), the effects will already have set in.
The sedation process leaves you awake, but relaxed, experiencing a sense of euphoria. Then, once your procedure is over, have someone drive you home and let the sedation slowly wear off as you begin your healing process.
While our CEREC machine can’t provide you with same-day implant crowns, we do provide same-day dental implants!
These titanium posts anchor in your jawbone to replace missing tooth roots after you lose a tooth. Then, once they’re secure, we place temporary crowns, bridges, or dentures on top to restore your smile!
After a few short weeks of healing, we then secure your final restoration, restoring your smile permanently.
