All-Porcelain & Zirconia Crowns – Natural, Strong, Same Day Results
A porcelain crown, often referred to as a dental “cap,” is designed to fully cover and protect a damaged tooth while restoring its shape, size, strength, and natural appearance. Modern porcelain crowns closely replicate the look of natural teeth, offering a superior aesthetic solution compared to older metal crowns or porcelain-fused-to-metal restorations. If you’ve ever noticed a dark line or shadow at the gumline, it is often the result of a metal-based crown.
At My Dental Designs, our crowns are most often crafted using metal-free materials, including high-quality porcelain and advanced zirconia. Zirconia crowns provide exceptional durability, strength, and biocompatibility, making them an ideal option for both front and back teeth. While certain clinical situations may still require metal-based restorations, our focus is always on delivering the most natural-looking and long-lasting results possible.
With the use of cutting-edge digital dentistry technology, our experienced doctors can prepare, scan, design, mill, polish, and glaze your custom porcelain or zirconia crown on-site, often in a single visit. This same-day crown process eliminates the need for temporary crowns and allows patients to enjoy precise, comfortable, and beautifully crafted restorations—quickly and efficiently.
Porcelain Crowns & Bridges – Same Day Technology
Sometimes a tooth requires more than a traditional filling. When tooth decay affects a large portion of the tooth, or when a tooth has cracked or broken, a filling—even a bonded composite filling—may not provide enough strength or long-term protection.
In these cases, a porcelain crown may be recommended to restore the tooth’s strength, function, and appearance. A crown fully covers and protects the tooth, fitting over it much like a thimble fits over a thumb. This coverage helps prevent further damage, fracture, or even tooth loss.
A dental bridge is a restorative option used to replace one or more missing teeth. A bridge consists of multiple crowns connected as a single unit, with the replacement tooth (or teeth) securely supported by the neighboring teeth.
Same Day Crowns with Advanced Dental Technology
In the past, receiving a porcelain crown required two or more appointments spaced weeks apart, during which patients had to wear a temporary crown. While functional, temporary crowns can be inconvenient and unpredictable—often coming loose at the most inconvenient times.
At My Dental Designs, we proudly offer Same Day Crowns using advanced digital dentistry technology. This allows us to design, mill, and place your custom porcelain crown in a single visit, with no temporary crown required. Patients can even watch their crown being digitally crafted. Once complete, the crown is carefully polished, glazed, and permanently cemented—restoring your smile quickly, comfortably, and precisely.
