Same-Day Crowns
We know your time is valuable and dental procedures shouldn't disrupt your busy schedule. Therefore, we offer same-day crowns: a solution that combines the quality of traditional crowns with the efficiency of modern technology.
What Are Same-Day Crowns?
Typically, getting a crown involves at least two dental appointments. During the first visit, your dentist prepares your tooth, takes impressions, and places a temporary replacement. Then, you return for a second appointment to get the permanent crown.
Same-day crowns, also known as CEREC® crowns, are a revolutionary dental treatment designed to save you time and hassle. Since our office has advanced technology that can make crowns in a matter of hours, our dentist can complete the entire crown procedure in just one visit.
How Is the Process of Getting a Same-Day Crown?
Same-day crown placement consists of four steps in a single appointment:
- Digital Impressions: We start by using a 3D scanner to create digital impressions of your tooth and surrounding oral tissue.
- Digital Design: Using CAD/CAM technology, we design your crown digitally to ensure precision and a comfortable fit.
- Milling: Our in-house milling machine carves your crown from a high-quality ceramic block.
- Placement: We bond the finished crown to your tooth, giving you a beautiful, functional smile.
Are Same-Day Crowns as Durable as Traditional Crowns?
Same-day crowns are crafted from high-quality ceramic materials, making them just as durable as traditional crowns. They can withstand normal biting forces and are built to last over a decade with proper care.
