What are Same-Day Crowns?
A crown (also called a cap) is a custom-made covering placed over a damaged tooth, whether it’s due to decay, breakage, or even a root canal. Same-day crowns from Springdale Family Dental offer a fast and efficient solution to restore your tooth’s strength and appearance. Thanks to our CEREC technology, there are no impressions or multiple appointments needed. We design and place your permanent crown during one visit, meaning you can leave with a fully restored tooth and no temporary ones in between.
What are the benefits of same-day crowns?
Traditionally, getting a crown meant multiple visits to the dentist, along with the hassle of a temporary crown that could feel uncomfortable. With advances in dental technology, this process has become faster, more comfortable, and highly effective.
Same-day crowns offer these key benefits:
- No uncomfortable impressions: We use a precise digital 3D scan for a more accurate fit.
- Fast treatment: You can have your crown placed in just one visit.
- Less tooth removal: We can preserve more of your natural tooth structure due to reduced drilling.
Same-Day Crown Treatment
Examining and Preparing the Tooth
During your visit, Dr. Harpaul Anand will examine your tooth thoroughly. If decay is present, it will be carefully removed, and the area will be cleaned. For teeth with stress fractures, a crown will provide the necessary protection to prevent further damage. Dr. Anand will then shape your natural tooth to ensure the crown fits comfortably.
Custom-Made Crown Right on Site
Once your tooth is ready, we use a cutting-edge 3D scanner to take an accurate digital scan. Say goodbye to traditional impressions and trays—this scan creates a precise digital model of your crown. The porcelain crown is then crafted on-site while you wait with our state-of-the-art machine.
Placement and Final Touches
Your crown is bonded or cemented in place immediately, so you won’t need a second appointment or a temporary crown. Dr. Anand will make final adjustments and check the fit, ensuring comfort and a perfect result. After a quick polish, your new crown is ready for use!
Understanding the Cost of Same-Day Crowns at Springdale Family Dental in Brampton
The cost of a dental crown can differ significantly depending on your individual situation. For patients with insurance, the cost for a single crown typically falls between $200 and $600+. If you’re paying out of pocket, expect to pay anywhere from $800 to $1200 or more. While a dental crown can restore both the function and aesthetics of your teeth, the cost is understandably a key consideration for many patients.
So, what determines the price of a crown?
- The type of crown that is best suited for your dental needs.
- The location and complexity of the procedure.
- The number of crowns required for your treatment plan.
- Combining crowns with other treatments, like dental bridges.
- The specific supplies, materials, and technology needed for your care.
It’s important to understand that no dental practice can provide a precise quote over the phone. Your dental needs are as unique as your smile, so it’s best to schedule an in-person consultation. After an oral exam, Dr. Harpaul Anand and our team at Springdale Family Dental can provide you with an accurate treatment plan and cost estimate. If you have dental insurance, we can also give you an estimate that you can submit to your provider to determine your out-of-pocket expenses before proceeding with treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Whether you need a crown after a root canal at Springdale Family Dental depends on the tooth’s location in your mouth. For instance, back teeth like molars and premolars, which are used for chewing, often require crowns to restore their strength and functionality. Front teeth like incisors and canines, which aren’t used as much for chewing, may not always require a crown.
A dental crown offers superior durability compared to a filling, especially on the biting surfaces of your teeth. Fillings, while effective for minor repairs, may wear down or crack over time due to the constant pressure from chewing and grinding. In contrast, a crown covers the tooth entirely, from gumline to gumline, providing stronger protection and lasting longer, making it the ideal choice for teeth exposed to significant chewing forces.
Dental crowns are designed to function like natural teeth, seamlessly restoring the tooth’s shape and strength. Not only do they allow you to chew comfortably, but they are also colour-matched to blend in with your surrounding teeth, ensuring a natural-looking result. Often, patients forget which tooth has the crown because it looks and feels just like the rest of your smile.
A dental post is a special medical-grade post used to reinforce a tooth that has undergone a root canal. Unlike a dental implant, which is surgically placed in the jawbone, a post is cemented inside the treated root canal to provide additional support for the crown. This is especially helpful when there isn’t enough natural tooth structure remaining to securely hold the crown.
The process of receiving a dental crown is typically no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. At Springdale Family Dental, we ensure that the area is thoroughly numbed with freezing so that you won’t feel any pain during the procedure. Afterward, you may experience mild sensitivity or soreness around the gums, but this is usually temporary. If you’re feeling anxious, don’t hesitate to let us know—we’ll do everything we can to make you feel comfortable throughout the treatment.
With proper care, a dental crown can last anywhere from 15 to 30 years. Regular dental checkups and good oral hygiene are key to extending the lifespan of your crown and maintaining its functionality.
Maintaining your dental crown is easy! Just like with natural teeth, brushing and flossing regularly will keep your crown and the gums surrounding it healthy. Don’t forget to schedule routine cleanings and checkups with Dr. Harpaul Anand at Springdale Family Dental to ensure your crown remains in top condition.
