Cary Same-Day Crowns

Fast and durable dental restorations

A beautiful, strong crown in just one visit

A damaged, weakened, or broken tooth can make eating uncomfortable, cause sensitivity, and leave you feeling self-conscious. But the idea of multiple dental visits, messy impressions, and temporary crowns? That’s enough to make anyone hesitate.

At TrueCare Dentistry, we make restoring your tooth simple, fast, and stress-free with Cary same-day crowns. Using CEREC technology, we design, create, and place high-quality, natural-looking dental crowns in a single visit. No temporary crowns, no waiting weeks — just a durable, custom-fitted solution that blends seamlessly with your natural smile.

TrueCare Dentistry has great reviews and recommendations, and they are accurate. I had a great visit with Dr. Lawrence, and he didn't try to oversell or do any procedures that weren't needed, which has become more of an issue in dentistry. Great experience and great staff.
