At Smile Haven, we understand that dental issues don’t always come with advance warning. When you need a crown or bridge, waiting weeks for a permanent solution can be frustrating and uncomfortable.
That’s why we offer same-day crowns & bridges with on-site milling technology, allowing you to walk out with your permanent restoration in just one visit. Our approach combines advanced technology with compassionate care to deliver exceptional results that restore both your smile and confidence.
Same-day crowns & bridges represent a significant advancement in dental restoration technology. Unlike traditional methods that require multiple appointments spanning several weeks, our state-of-the-art CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology allows us to design, create, and place your custom crown or bridge in a single appointment.
This innovative process uses digital scanning to create a precise 3D model of your tooth, which is then milled from a solid block of ceramic material right in our office. The result is a durable, natural-looking restoration that perfectly matches your existing teeth.
Dr. Zavala or Dr. Duque will conduct a thorough examination of your oral health at Smile Haven. During this evaluation, we’ll discuss your specific concerns and determine if a same-day crown or bridge suits your needs. We’ll explain each step of the procedure, answer your questions, and make sure you understand all aspects of your treatment before moving forward. Our goal is to ensure you feel informed and comfortable with the recommended solution.
We’ll create a personalized plan for your same-day crown or bridge based on your specific dental situation. This includes careful consideration of tooth location, bite alignment, and aesthetic goals. Using advanced digital scanning technology, we capture precise measurements of your tooth without messy impression materials. The scanner creates an accurate 3D model that allows us to design a restoration that fits perfectly and looks natural alongside your existing teeth.
On treatment day, we’ll gently prepare your tooth by removing decay or damage while preserving healthy tooth structure. Our in-office milling machine crafts your custom crown or bridge from a solid block of high-quality ceramic material. This advanced technology allows us to create your permanent restoration in about an hour. You can relax in our comfortable office while your new crown or bridge takes shape with the exact specifications needed for your mouth.
Before permanent placement, we’ll verify the fit, color match, and appearance of your new crown or bridge. We make meticulous adjustments to ensure proper bite alignment and comfortable function. The restoration is then permanently bonded to your tooth, creating a strong and durable result. This attention to detail during the fitting process helps prevent common issues like food trapping or bite discomfort that can occur with poorly fitted restorations.
We’ll provide clear instructions for caring for your new same-day crown or bridge, including specific brushing and flossing techniques. Most patients can immediately return to normal activities with minimal sensitivity. We’ll schedule a brief follow-up appointment to verify that your restoration functions properly and feels comfortable. During regular check-ups, we continue to monitor your crown or bridge to ensure lasting performance and address any concerns that might arise.

The cost of same-day crowns typically ranges from $1,000 to $1,800 per crown, depending on factors such as tooth location and specific treatment needs. Most dental insurance plans provide similar coverage for same-day crowns as they do for traditional crowns, typically covering 50-70% of the cost after deductibles.
A dental bridge is a custom-made restoration that “bridges” the gap created by one or more missing teeth, consisting of artificial teeth anchored in place by dental crowns attached to the natural teeth or implants on either side. Bridges restore your smile’s appearance, maintain proper bite alignment, prevent remaining teeth from shifting, and distribute bite forces properly when chewing.
Dental bridge costs typically range from $2,000 to $5,000, depending on several factors including the number of teeth being replaced, materials used, and any additional procedures needed. Most dental insurance plans provide partial coverage for bridges, typically 50-70% of the cost after deductibles.
With proper care and maintenance, a dental bridge can last between 5 and 15 years, with many lasting well over 10 years. The longevity depends on several factors including your oral hygiene practices, regular dental check-ups, and eating habits.
