5 Signs You Might Need a Same-Day Crown

Crowns aren't just for cracked teeth. They're a long-term solution for teeth that have lost too much structure to support a regular filling, and modern in-office workflows mean less wait time for many patients.

Here are the most common signs we look for: a tooth that aches when you bite down, a large old filling that's chipping, a visible crack, a tooth that's been root-canaled, or recurring sensitivity that won't settle.

If any of these sound familiar, an exam takes about 20 minutes. We'll show you what's going on and give you a straight answer about whether a crown is the right call.
