At the office of Dr. Neal Edwards, we understand that your time is valuable. We also know that spending more time in the dental office is never on anyone’s wish list! This is why our team in Riverside, California, provides single-visit dental crowns for patients who are ready to restore their smiles and achieve healthy, beautiful teeth. This option is not available at all dental offices, which sets ours apart from other offices in the community and surrounding cities.
Dr. Neal Edwards describes dental crowns made the same day as a revolutionary way for patients to get the care they need in a shorter period of time without sacrificing quality. Single-visit dental crowns, also known as same-day crowns or CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) crowns, are a modern dental technology that allows for the creation and placement of a permanent crown in just a single appointment.
With traditional dental crowns, multiple appointments were necessary. The first appointment involved taking impressions and sending them to an off-site lab to create the custom crown. During this time, patients would have to wear a temporary crown until their next appointment, when the permanent crown was ready to be placed. This process could take weeks, causing inconvenience and discomfort for patients. Single-visit dental crowns eliminate the need for multiple appointments and waiting time.Â
There are several advantages to selecting a single-visit dental crown restoration over more traditionally made dental crowns. Same-day crowns save patients time by eliminating the need for multiple appointments. This is especially beneficial for those with busy schedules or who live outside the Riverside, California, area. Also, since the crown is created on-site and placed in one appointment, there is less risk of discomfort or complications compared to temporary crowns used with conventional crowns. Same-visit dental crowns are also incredibly accurate and precise as they use computer-aided software to scan the prepared tooth and create the final restoration.
Both types of crowns are considered quality, long-lasting restorations that can provide repair for weak or damaged teeth. Just like conventional crowns, our same-day crowns will last a decade or longer with proper care and regular attention.

My name’s Aaron Phillips, and I’ve been a patient of Dr. Edwards for about seven years since he opened his practice. The treatment that I’ve received that’s made the biggest difference in my smile has really been addressing my grinding. So I grind a lot. I grind at night, I grind during the day. I’m clenching, and so I’ve cracked a molar and he’s had to fill another molar where I’ve just ground away. It’s down to dentin, and that’s made a big difference for me in terms of pain and coping through the day. So through his treatment, Dr. Edwards has really helped, I think, preserve and save my teeth because I just grind so hard. But he’s also helped me address pain that I have throughout the day. I have a lot of jaw pain. It creates headaches and tension in my neck, and it was really impacting my daily life.
And so with his help, I’ve been able to address that and save my teeth. So Dr. Edwards, his entire team make us feel really comfortable here in the office. They greet us, they know us, they know the details of our family and our kids. And because we’ve been patients for so long, they just really make us feel like we’re home. It’s a very comfortable environment for us. If folks are interested in getting dental treatment, I think they should choose Dr. Edwards because he’s honest and trustworthy and he’ll tell you what you need and then he’ll follow through. And his staff, they’re amazing. They make you feel very comfortable, very trusting, and they make you feel like family.
My name is Kyra Men, and I’ve been a patient of Dr. Edwards for about 15 years now. So the treatment that I received with Dr. Edwards that made the biggest difference for me were my implants. I needed an implant. I needed a bridge. I mean, my confidence was shot because my teeth had a lot of issues. Your smile is everything. I’m an educator. I teach kids. I sing a lot, and so being nervous about what you’re going to look like on camera, it really is a thing. So I think just the implants, being able to regain that confidence, it was everything. I decided to get the bridge repair and the implants because my teeth, when he went in to try to repair them, they weren’t salvageable, and so we had to do something to replace my existing teeth. I just felt overall restored. I felt a lot more confident.
I was excited to explore the other treatments that he suggested as well. If someone is interested in a bridge repair treatment, I would say definitely choose Dr. Edwards because he takes time to make sure the small details are covered. For instance, the color of the teeth, you could tell the difference between their natural teeth and then the bridge repair. With him, that’s not the case. He takes the time to make sure that there’s a perfect color match. He maintains the integrity of the shape of the tooth, and even any of the spacing that your normal teeth would have.
My name is Lou Monville, and I have been a patient of Dr. Edwards for seven years. So the treatment that I received here that made the biggest difference in my smile is these two things right here. So those teeth got broken in high school, plain water polo, like a lot of my dental work, and I had some old crowns. They were getting to the point that they needed to be replaced, and so Dr. Edwards says it’s time to replace those. But what blew my mind was it was done in a day. I was in and out of here in less than two hours with two brand new teeth that actually looked like my teeth. My wife was blown away. The technology now and the technology that Dr. Edwards has is phenomenal. I was always kind of cautious with my smile, real up close with those kind of big false teeth, and now you can’t tell the difference.
My kids noticed the difference. My family noticed the difference. So it’s been probably one of the best things I’ve done in a long time. Well, if you’re going to have a crown treatment, why would I tell you to go see Dr. Edwards? First off, the attention to detail that was super important. Then two, just the technology, the ability to not have to walk around with a false tooth or a temporary, two crowns in and out, two hours. I’ve never experienced that in my life to have that repair look phenomenal, but to be done, when you walk out and you’ve got your smile, you can’t beat it.
