At Minorca Smiles, Raymond del Castillo provides same-day dental crowns in Coral Gables, Florida, helping many patients restore a damaged tooth in just one visit with advanced CEREC technology.

Repair a Broken, Cracked or Worn Tooth
A dental crown covers and protects the visible portion of a damaged tooth. Crowns are often recommended when a tooth is too weak for a filling but does not need to be removed. A custom crown can restore strength, shape, function and appearance so you can bite, chew and smile with greater confidence.
Same-day dental crowns may be used to restore cracked teeth, broken teeth, worn teeth, teeth with large fillings, teeth weakened by decay or teeth that have been treated with root canal therapy. They may also be used when a tooth needs both cosmetic improvement and long-term protection.
Traditional crowns usually require two visits. With CEREC same-day crown technology, del Castillo can often complete the process in one appointment, making treatment more convenient while still providing a custom restoration designed for your tooth.
How CEREC Same-Day Crown Technology Works
Our CEREC same-day dentistry technology supports the crown process with digital scanning, CAD/CAM design and in-office milling. CEREC is the technology that makes many one-visit crowns possible, while the crown itself is the restoration that protects and rebuilds your tooth.
Your visit begins with a careful exam. del Castillo will evaluate the tooth, review your symptoms and explain whether a same-day dental crown, traditional crown or another restorative option is the right choice for your needs.
If a crown is recommended, damaged or weakened tooth structure is removed and the tooth is shaped for the restoration. Instead of traditional impressions, we capture a digital scan of your tooth and bite. This scan is used to create a precise 3D model of your custom crown.
Once the crown is designed, it is milled from a high-quality, tooth-colored ceramic material in our office. del Castillo checks the fit, shape and bite before bonding the crown securely in place. The crown is then polished so it feels smooth and blends naturally with your smile.
If you have a broken crown, cracked tooth or worn tooth, schedule an appointment or call 305-443-4713 to find out whether a same-day crown can help.

When Might You Need a Same-Day Crown?
A same-day dental crown may be recommended if you have:
- A cracked, chipped or broken tooth
- A broken crown or failing older restoration
- A tooth with a large or failing filling
- A worn-down tooth
- A tooth weakened by decay
- A tooth that has had root canal therapy
- A misshapen or discolored tooth that needs cosmetic improvement
- A tooth that needs added strength and long-term protection
Because every tooth is different, del Castillo will evaluate your tooth and discuss whether a same-day crown is the best option. If the tooth cannot be restored with a crown, he may recommend another treatment, such as a filling, root canal therapy, dental bridge or dental implant.
If any of these symptoms sound familiar, do not wait for the tooth to worsen. Contact Minorca Smiles or call 305-443-4713 to schedule a visit with a dentist in Coral Gables, Florida.
