same day crowns
There’s a difference between placing a crown… and crafting one.
At Calabasas Dental Spa, same-day crowns are approached as precision restorations—thoughtfully designed to restore not just strength, but balance, comfort, and natural beauty.
Rather than sending your case to an outside lab and placing a temporary, everything is completed in one continuous experience. Your crown is designed, shaped, and refined in real time—under the direct care of Dr. Tania Baker.
With over 40 years of experience and a philosophy rooted in functional dentistry, Dr. Baker approaches each restoration with a level of detail that prioritizes how your tooth feels, functions, and lives within your bite.
The result is not something that feels like dental work.
who this is for
This treatment may be for you if you’re experiencing:
- A cracked or broken tooth
- A tooth that feels weak or at risk of breaking
- A large or failing filling
- An old crown that no longer feels secure or natural
- Discomfort when biting or chewing
- A situation you’ve been putting off, but know needs to be addressed
It’s also ideal for those who value a more efficient, fully completed solution; without the inconvenience of temporaries or multiple visits.
our proprietary method
Most dental crowns follow a traditional process: the tooth is prepared, an impression is taken, and a temporary is placed while the final crown is made in an outside lab.
We’ve redefined that experience entirely.
At Calabasas Dental Spa, your crown is designed and crafted in-house, during your appointment, using advanced CEREC technology and high-quality porcelain materials. Every detail, from structure to surface, is controlled and refined in real time.
But the true difference isn’t just the technology. It’s the philosophy behind it.
Dr. Baker approaches crowns through the lens of functional dentistry: with a meticulous focus on bite alignment, long-term stability, and how the restoration integrates with your natural movement.
Each crown is:
- Digitally designed with precision
- Custom-shaped for balance and proportion
- Stained and glazed in-office for a natural finish
- Carefully adjusted to ensure your bite feels correct—not just “close enough”
Nothing is outsourced. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is generalized.
This is a level of control and intention that allows the final result to feel seamless—not placed, but integrated.
