Say goodbye to multiple dental visits and temporary crowns with same-day dental crowns at Digital Aesthetic Dentistry in Jacksonville, FL. Using advanced CAD/CAM technology, we can design, craft, and place your custom dental crown in a single appointment.
Whether you need to restore a damaged tooth, strengthen a weak one, or enhance your smile’s appearance, our same-day crowns provide a quick, efficient, and comfortable solution.
A same-day dental crown — also called a CEREC crown or single-visit crown — is a custom-fitted ceramic cap that is digitally designed, milled in-office, and permanently bonded to a damaged or weakened tooth within a single appointment. Unlike traditional crowns that require a dental lab and two visits over 2–3 weeks, a same-day crown is complete in 1–2 hours.
The process uses CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design & Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology. Your dentist takes a precise 3D digital scan of your tooth, designs the crown on-screen, then mills it from a high-strength ceramic or zirconia block using an in-office milling machine. The result is a durable, natural-looking restoration with no temporary crown required.
Understanding the difference helps you choose the right restoration for your schedule, comfort, and budget.

From your digital scan to your final crown placement, the entire process is completed in one visit at our Baymeadows Jacksonville office using CEREC and digital dentistry technology.

We examine the tooth and capture a 3D digital scan using an intraoral scanner. No impression trays, no mess. The model appears on screen in real time and becomes the foundation for your crown design.

The damaged or weakened portion of the tooth is removed, and the tooth is prepared to support the crown. Local anesthesia is used to keep the area comfortable during treatment.

The crown is milled in-office from a ceramic or zirconia block during the same appointment. Because the crown is created on-site, a temporary crown and second appointment are usually not needed.

The finished crown is checked for fit, bite alignment, and shade match before being permanently bonded into place. Final adjustments are made to ensure normal function and comfort.
Same-day ceramic crowns are durable and low-maintenance. With simple daily habits and routine visits, yours can last 15 years or more.
At Digital Aesthetic Dentistry, we make restoring your smile fast, convenient, and stress-free. With same-day dental crowns, you skip the temporary crown and leave with a permanent restoration in one visit.

Our same-day crowns are made from high-quality ceramics, providing both strength and aesthetics. With proper care, they can last 10-15 years or more. While crowns don’t get cavities, it’s essential to keep the surrounding teeth and gums healthy.
Caring for Your Dental Crown:
Book a consultation at Digital Aesthetic Dentistry for a comprehensive exam and digital evaluation of your tooth. During your visit, we’ll assess the condition of the tooth and determine whether a same-day crown is the right treatment option.
We take a 3D digital scan of your teeth and bite, prepare the tooth, and use CEREC technology to design your custom crown. Your crown is then milled in-office from ceramic or zirconia material during the same appointment.
Once the crown is ready, we check the fit, bite, and shade before permanently bonding it into place. You leave the office the same day with a restored tooth designed for everyday comfort, function, and appearance.
EXCELLENT Based on 94 reviews Posted on Google Jay ClaytonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Permanent crown in under two hours! I went in with a cracked molar, and they took an X-ray, did a digital scan, and prepared the tooth for a same-day crown. The crown was made in-office in about 15 minutes and fit perfectly.

I began my transformation journey with Digital Aesthetic Dentistry in January 2025. I had uneven teeth and wanted to try something different with my dental look. This particular clinic took on New owners with a new name, but maintained most of the same professional I began my transformation journey with Digital Aesthetic Dentistry in January 2025. The clinic took on New owners, but maintained some of the same professional staff that was there the year before. When I tell you, they are the most manageable, professional, personable, and caring staff I have ever experienced in a dental clinic, they are the best! My consultation for Invisalign was informational, clear and concise. Even though I had my own thoughts about what I wanted, Dr. Clayton offered best suggestions that led to my decision for my own treatment. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to close my gap but I decided to keep it through my transformation. Liz, at the front desk, is persistent in keeping me on schedule with my appointments for exams, x-rays, and cleanings. Kim is the technician who assists the dentist in caring for my teeth. She was very good at scans and x-rays as well as cleanings. Dr. Clayton has the best bedside manner pertaining to physical treatment, examinations and information which has led to my beautiful smile. I am still in the development stages, the contacts have been removed and my smile is retainer ready thanks to the Digital Aesthetic Dentistry team. I partnered with the process for care and I even lost a few pounds. 🥰 Thank you, Digital Aesthetic Dentistry team, for ADDING TO my beautiful smile, new found confidence and transformation to a “New Me”!!♥️ Sincerely, Dr. Carrie CeCe Cox ✨#TheQueen✨Posted on Google Ms CarrieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. One of the greatest patient experiences I have ever had is at this clinic. The environment is clean, the staff is professional, the Care is efficient and the prices are reasonable, with or without insurance. I have never been made to feel uncomfortable by anyone on their team. The explanation of Care is very open and honest. The treatment always has a positive outcome. I can personally recommend this Dentistry to everyone I know because I can honestly say that excellence lives here. 😁🪥🦷
A dental crown is a custom-made cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, function, and appearance. You may need one if you have a large cavity, cracked tooth, or after a root canal.
We use high-quality ceramic materials, designed to mimic natural teeth in color and strength. Unlike metal crowns, ceramic options provide a seamless, natural-looking restoration.
With advanced CAD/CAM technology, we design, create, and place your crown in one visit—usually within 1-2 hours. This means no temporary crown and no follow-up visit.
The crown procedure is virtually pain-free, as we use local anesthesia to numb the area. After treatment, you may experience mild sensitivity, but it typically subsides within a few days.
With proper care, dental crowns can last 10-15 years or more. Good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups help extend the lifespan of your crown.
Brush and floss daily, avoid chewing on hard foods, and visit us every six months for routine check-ups. Maintaining good oral hygiene ensures long-lasting results.
Yes! Once your same-day crown is securely bonded, you can eat most foods normally. We recommend avoiding very sticky or hard foods initially to prevent unnecessary pressure.
Many dental insurance plans cover part of the cost for medically necessary crowns. Our team will help verify your coverage and discuss financing options if needed.
Our custom-designed ceramic crowns are crafted to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and size, ensuring a seamless blend with your smile.
If your crown becomes loose or dislodged, contact us immediately. Do not attempt to reattach it yourself—we’ll schedule a quick appointment to fix it.
