Same-Day Dental Crowns

How do same-day dental crowns work?

Same-day dental crowns are a new and exciting option when it comes to restoring teeth. They provide the same quality, function, and longevity as traditional crowns but in a more convenient manner. The process of placing a dental crown is similar to that of placing an implant; however, patients don’t need any surgical incisions or implants placed into their gums. Instead, they only require one visit to get the same results as the old traditional procedures. 

The Same-day dental bridge or crown procedure involves taking a 3D scan of your teeth so we can create the exact shape and size of the crown you need. These impressions are then sent to our milling machine where they’re milled out of strong dental ceramic polymer. Milling only a few minutes. Once finished, we test the new dental crown to check that it fits perfectly on top of your tooth. The tooth is then secured with a UV-sensitive adhesive that sets instantly and is just as durable as a traditional crown. 

Then — You’re good to go! Your crown or bridge is set and you can eat with that tooth right away! Done in ONE visit with the procedure taking approximately 1.5-2 hours.

The Old Way of Doing Dental Crowns, Bridges, and More

Planning visits to the dentist’s office for dental work usually requires scheduling a number of appointments and taking time off from work each step of the procedure. Multiple visits mean waiting longer for a procedure to be completed. If the goal is to repair a cosmetic defect, the patient must wait weeks. 

Now with advanced technology, our office is able to provide Same-day dental crowns and bridges that only require ONE-visit that only lasts about 2 hours.

Advantages of Same Day Dentistry

• Besides time savings, material costs, patients can get faster final results.

• These advanced options, including same-day dental crowns, were all chosen to make your dental appointment a positive experience – and your results simply beautiful.

More General Information About Dental Crowns

The size and shape of a tooth crown are determined by the amount of tooth structure that is damaged or decayed, along with the health and appearance of the remaining teeth. A crown may be used to restore a missing tooth, cover up discolored or chipped teeth, repair a broken tooth or fill in spaces where teeth are missing (enamel).

A dental crown can be made from porcelain or composite resin materials. Porcelain-based crowns are more durable than composite resin ones because they won’t break down as quickly over time. The material also allows for better color matching and unique designs that can replicate natural decay patterns on your smile if you have one.
