Same Day Crowns Glasgow

If you have a damaged or weakened tooth and want it restored quickly, same day crowns at Michael Kelly Dentistry in Glasgow provide a fast, convenient and natural looking solution.

With modern digital technology we can prepare your tooth, design your crown and fit the final restoration in a single appointment. This means no temporary crown and no second visit.


What Are Same Day Crowns

Same day crowns are high quality ceramic crowns designed and manufactured in practice using advanced digital scanning and CAD CAM technology.

Instead of taking traditional moulds and waiting for a laboratory, we can scan your tooth digitally, design your new crown and create it on site within the same visit.


Benefits of Same Day Crowns

  • Crown designed and fitted in one appointment
  • No temporary crown needed
  • Digital scans for comfort and accuracy
  • Strong, durable and natural looking ceramic
  • Improved comfort with fewer appointments
  • Ideal for busy schedules or urgent repairs

When Same Day Crowns Are Suitable

Same day crowns can be an ideal option if you have:

  • A cracked or broken tooth
  • A tooth weakened by a large filling
  • A damaged tooth needing urgent restoration
  • An old crown that needs replacing quickly
  • A cosmetic concern where you want fast improvement

We assess suitability during your consultation and will always recommend the most stable and predictable treatment for long term health.


The Same Day Crown Process

Here is what to expect when you book a same day crown at Michael Kelly Dentistry.

Consultation and Assessment
We examine your tooth and take digital scans to confirm that a crown is the right solution. We discuss your goals and explain the full process.

Tooth Preparation
We shape the tooth gently under local anaesthetic so the crown can fit securely. We use numbing gel beforehand to ensure complete comfort.

Digital Scanning
A digital scanner captures a precise 3D image of your teeth. This replaces traditional messy moulds and provides highly accurate results.

Digital Crown Design
Using advanced CAD CAM software we design your new crown, matching the shape, size and shade to your natural teeth.

On Site Crown Manufacturing
The design is sent to our in house milling system which creates your crown from high strength ceramic. This process usually takes around 15 to 30 minutes.

Fitting Your Final Crown
We check the crown for fit, comfort and colour. Once perfect, it is bonded securely into place. You can leave the practice with your final restoration on the same day.


Same Day Crowns vs Traditional Crowns

Same Day Crowns

  • Completed in one visit
  • No temporary crown needed
  • Digital scans for added comfort
  • Fast turnaround for urgent cases

Traditional Crowns

  • Usually require two appointments
  • Temporary crown worn between visits
  • Laboratory manufactured
  • Suitable for more complex cases

Both options provide excellent results. We advise the best method based on your tooth and long term oral health.


Are Same Day Crowns as Strong as Traditional Crowns

Yes. Same day crowns are made from high quality ceramic that is strong, durable and resistant to wear. With good care they can last many years, similar to traditional crowns.


How Long Do Same Day Crowns Last

With good oral hygiene and regular dental reviews, same day crowns can last ten to fifteen years or longer. Grinding, trauma and diet can affect longevity so we provide personalised aftercare advice.

  • Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste
  • Floss or use interdental brushes
  • Avoid biting very hard objects
  • Wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth
