If you have a cracked, worn, or badly decayed tooth, you should not have to wait weeks to feel confident smiling and chewing again. At Friendly Smiles Center in Mount Laurel, you can receive high-quality same-day crowns designed, created, and placed in a single visit.
Led by Dr. Robert Chase, DMD, our team combines advanced digital technology with a warm, personal approach, so you leave with a tooth that looks and feels like your own, without multiple appointments or temporary restorations.
Traditional dental crowns often mean messy impressions, a plastic temporary, and at least two separate visits. With our Primescan digital system and in-house dental laboratory, we can complete the entire process in one comfortable appointment for many patients.
You benefit from high-tech care that is focused on your comfort, your schedule, and your long-term oral health. Our goal is to protect and restore your tooth while giving you a smile you feel proud to share.
Key advantages of same-day crowns at Friendly Smiles Center include:
Throughout your visit, our team explains each step, checks in on your comfort, and offers small touches like blankets and in-chair TVs to help you relax.
Using this digital model, we design your crown chairside, then our in-house laboratory fabricates it while you relax. Once it is ready, Dr. Chase checks the fit, makes any needed adjustments, and permanently bonds the crown to your tooth. You leave the same day with your final restoration in place, not a temporary one.
Our in-house lab and Primescan technology mean your crown is crafted with exceptional detail, right under our roof. Combined with our focus on comfort, flexible scheduling with evening appointments, and a friendly, long-standing team, this makes our office a trusted dental home for many families in Mount Laurel and the surrounding South Jersey communities.
Same-day crowns are designed to provide strength, durability, and a natural appearance similar to traditional crowns. The main difference is the process, which relies on digital imaging and in-house fabrication instead of outside labs and multiple visits.
Yes. Your crown is color-matched and shaped to blend with your surrounding teeth. Dr. Chase is very detail-focused about how your smile will look when you talk, laugh, and chew.
Our team prioritizes keeping you comfortable. We use local anesthesia to numb the area, and we offer additional comfort and sedation options for anxious or phobic patients. Most patients are surprised by how easy the visit feels.
Plan on spending a longer single appointment so that we can complete everything in one visit. The exact time can vary based on your specific needs, and our team will review timing with you when scheduling.
While many patients are good candidates, some situations still call for a different approach. After your exam and digital imaging, Dr. Chase will explain your options and recommend what is best for the health of your tooth.
You will receive personalized instructions before you leave, but in general patients can resume normal eating once the numbness wears off, starting slowly and avoiding very hard or sticky foods at first.
Friendly Smiles Center accepts most major dental insurance plans. Coverage for crowns varies by plan, and our team will help you understand your benefits and discuss payment options before treatment begins.
