What Is a Dental Crown? A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers and protects a damaged, weak, or worn tooth. It restores the tooth's:

  • Strength (so you can chew comfortably)
  • Shape (so your bite feels natural)
  • Appearance (so your smile looks seamless)

At Westside Dental Center, we use advanced digital scanning and in-house milling technology to design crowns that match your natural teeth perfectly, often in just a single visit.

When Do You Need a Dental Crown? You may need a dental crown if you have:

  • A cracked or broken tooth
  • Severe tooth decay
  • A worn-down tooth from grinding
  • A large filling that needs protection
  • A tooth after root canal treatment
  • A misshaped or discolored tooth

Instead of removing the tooth, a crown helps save and strengthen it, which is always the best long-term solution.

How Same-Day Crowns Work?

Same-Day Crowns at Westside Dental Center — From Scan to Smile in One Visit. The same-day crown process is one of the most impressive things we offer at Westside Dental Center and one of the things our patients talk about most. Here's exactly how it works, step by step.

  1. Examination & Diagnosis
    STEP 1

    Examination & Diagnosis

    Dr. Dham examines the tooth and takes digital X-rays and, where needed, a CBCT scan. Overjet AI diagnostics assist with identifying the full extent of damage or decay. If a crown is the right solution, we explain exactly why and what the process involves.

  2. STEP 2

    Tooth Preparation

    The tooth is numbed with local anaesthesia and prepared — meaning the damaged or decayed portions are removed and the tooth is shaped to accept the crown. You will not feel the procedure, just mild pressure at times.

  3. Digital Scan
    STEP 3

    Digital Scan

    Instead of traditional putty impressions, we take a precise digital scan of your prepared tooth and surrounding teeth using our intraoral scanner. This takes just a few minutes and produces a highly accurate 3D model.

  4. STEP 4

    Crown Design

    The digital model is used to design your custom crown right here in our Plantation office. Dr. Dham reviews the design for fit, bite alignment, and aesthetics before a single piece of material is milled.

  5. In-House Milling
    STEP 5

    In-House Milling

    The crown is milled from a solid block of high-quality ceramic using our CAD/CAM system. This takes approximately 15–20 minutes. While you wait comfortably in our office, your permanent crown is being fabricated right down the hall.

  6. STEP 6

    Fitting & Bonding

    The finished crown is checked for fit, bite, and colour match. Any minor adjustments are made chairside. Once everything is perfect, the crown is permanently bonded to your tooth. You leave with a completed, natural-looking restoration — the same day you came in.

Frequently Asked Questions Dental Crowns FAQs

If a tooth is compromised, has a large cavity, or is broken, we want to fix and protect it. A dental crown is a helmet that covers the whole tooth, protecting it, making it look natural, and restoring strength.

Just like your natural teeth: brush twice a day, floss every night, and rinse. Keep up with regular hygiene visits. Soda, smoking, and sugary products can affect how long a crown lasts. Careful habits help keep crowns beautiful for a very long time.

It depends on how much tooth structure is present. If a lot of the tooth remains, a filling may be enough. If a large part of the tooth is missing, broken, or has a big cavity, you most likely need a crown. The other option is to extract the tooth.

Yes. Crowns come in different shades and can be matched so nobody will know. We can match your existing tooth color exactly or go slightly lighter, depending on what you want.

Usually yes. If there is a lot of decay, a cavity, or periodontal disease around the tooth, there is a high chance a crown will be needed after a root canal to protect the tooth.

Absolutely. Once the crown is permanently placed, you should be able to chew comfortably. Restoring function and protecting a weakened tooth is one of the main purposes of a crown.

Most plans cover up to 50% of a crown, and in rare cases the full cost. Coverage varies by contract and may include yearly limits. Call or text (954) 476-4535 and we can help estimate your benefits.

You cannot get a cavity on the shiny surface of the crown, but decay can still form underneath if plaque is left at the margin. Brush, floss, rinse, and keep hygiene visits so the crown lasts a very long time.
