Same-Day Dental Crowns in San Luis Obispo, CA
Get Back to Your Life in as Little as One Visit
Losing teeth can affect how you feel about yourself, not to mention how you eat, speak, and smile. If you’ve been hiding your smile or struggling with discomfort, Michael Colleran DDS understands. We’re here to help you regain confidence with custom-fit dentures in San Luis Obispo.
Imagine eating your favorite foods and smiling without worry. With modern dentures, you don’t have to live with discomfort or embarrassment. Dentures can help restore both comfort and function.

When a Tooth Needs a Second Chance
Life happens. Teeth chip, crack, decay, and sometimes they just wear down. Fortunately, a dental crown can help protect your remaining natural tooth structure, while restoring its appearance and function—so you can eat, speak, and smile more comfortably.
You might need a dental crown if:
- You have a tooth that’s been weakened or cracked
- A tooth has been filled multiple times and needs support
- A cavity restoration is too extensive for a filling alone
- Your tooth needs protection after a root canal
- You want to restore a discolored or misshapen tooth
- You’re replacing a missing tooth with a dental implant
- You need to anchor a dental bridge

Same-Day Crowns with Advanced Technology
Why Wait for a Stronger Smile?
Traditionally, dental crowns took two or more visits to complete. At Michael Colleran, DDS, we offer same-day crowns using advanced CEREC technology. That means we can often deliver a completed, permanent crown in a single visit:
- No temporary crowns
- No messy impressions
- No waiting weeks for a lab
- One visit. One smile.
With digital imaging and our in-office milling machine, we can design and create your custom porcelain crown in one day.
What to Expect with Same-Day Dental Crowns
Thanks to our investment in advanced technology, we can make the same-day crown process as simple and comfortable as possible for you.
- Initial Evaluation: We assess your tooth and discuss its potential future.
- Digital Impressions: A 3D scan precisely captures every detail (no goopy molds!).
- Design & Mill: Your crown is custom-designed and created in-house.
- Fit & Bond: We check for comfort and accuracy, then securely bond it in place.
- Leave Smiling: You walk out with a fully restored tooth—the same day.
With your new crown in place, we’ll give specific care tips meant for you, but generally:
- Brush and floss daily like normal
- Avoid chewing hard objects (like ice or pens)
- Visit us twice a year for cleanings and exams
With proper care, your crown can serve you well for many years.
