Same Day Crowns in Maspeth, NY
Needing a dental crown no longer means weeks of waiting, messy impressions, or temporary crowns that can fall off at the worst possible moment. At Fitzsimons & Hagan Dentistry, we proudly offer same-day crowns, allowing patients to restore damaged teeth in just one visit—often in about 90 minutes.
With advanced digital technology, we design, create, and place your crown the same day you come in. No temporaries. No second appointment. Just a strong, beautiful crown that looks and feels natural.
What Is a Same-Day Crown?
A same-day crown is a custom dental crown that is designed, fabricated, and placed in a single appointment using advanced digital dentistry technology.
Traditional crowns typically require:
- Two or more visits
- Physical impressions
- A temporary crown
- A waiting period of 1–3 weeks
Same-day crowns eliminate all of that.
Why You Might Need a Dental Crown
A dental crown is used to restore a tooth that has been compromised by damage or decay.
Crowns are commonly recommended for teeth that are:
- Cracked or fractured
- Severely decayed
- Structurally weak
- Treated with root canal therapy
- Restored with large or failing fillings
The goal of a crown is to protect the tooth, restore strength, and improve appearance.
Conservative Crown Dentistry
One of our core philosophies is preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible.
Modern same-day crowns allow us to:
- Be more conservative with tooth preparation
- Design crowns that fit precisely
- Support long-term tooth health
Crowns today are not bulky or overly aggressive—they are carefully crafted restorations designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
The Same-Day Crown Process
Step 1: Comprehensive Evaluation
We begin with a thorough exam and digital imaging to determine whether a crown is the best option for your tooth.
Step 2: Digital Scanning (No Goopy Impressions)
Instead of traditional impression material, we use a comfortable digital scan to capture a precise 3D image of your tooth.
Patients love this step—no gagging, no mess.
Step 3: Digital Crown Design
Using advanced software, we design your crown digitally. This allows us to customize:
- Shape
- Size
- Bite
- Color
Every crown is tailored specifically to you.
Step 4: On-Site Crown Fabrication
Your crown is milled in-office from a high-quality ceramic block. This process takes place while you relax—many patients enjoy our massage chairs, music, or TV during this time.
Step 5: Placement & Final Adjustments
Once your crown is ready, we carefully place it, check your bite, and make final adjustments. The crown is then bonded securely to your tooth.
You leave the office the same day with your final crown in place.
No Temporary Crowns
One of the biggest advantages of same-day crowns is no temporary crown.
Temporary crowns can:
- Fall off
- Cause sensitivity
- Restrict eating
- Require extra care
With same-day crowns, you skip this entire phase.
How Long Does a Same-Day Crown Appointment Take?
Most same-day crown appointments take about 90 minutes, though timing can vary depending on complexity.
Many patients return to work or daily activities right after their visit.
Are Same-Day Crowns Strong and Durable?
Yes. Same-day crowns are made from advanced ceramic materials that are:
- Extremely strong
- Biocompatible
- Long-lasting
When properly cared for, same-day crowns can last many years—just like traditional crowns.
Natural, Beautiful Results
A crown should enhance your smile—not stand out.
We carefully select the shade and design to match your surrounding teeth. Our goal is for your crown to look so natural that no one can tell it isn’t your original tooth.
Same-Day Crowns After Root Canal Therapy
Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment are more fragile and often require crowns for protection.
Same-day crowns allow us to:
- Restore the tooth quickly
- Reduce risk of fracture
- Complete treatment efficiently
In many cases, root canal therapy and crown placement can be coordinated closely.
