Revolutionize Your Dental Experience with Same Day Crowns

What if your dentist could repair a damaged tooth with a crown in one day? Same day crowns merge materials science, engineering tools, and high-quality dental care to create a means to optimize the patient experience. If you need a crown, find a dentist who offers same day crowns for the most comfortable, convenient procedure you've ever had.

What Is a Crown?

A dental crown, also known as a cap, covers the top portion of a tooth. If you need to have a large cavity repaired or have a damaged tooth, a crown restores the natural shape, strength, and function of the tooth. For instance, a large filling for cavity repair can weaken a tooth, but a crown strengthens the tooth. A crown can also repair a damaged tooth by covering the crack and preventing further damage.  

What Is the Difference Between Same Day Crowns and Traditional Crowns?

The biggest difference between single visit crowns and lab produced crowns is the time required. If you choose a dentist that only offers the latter, you'll need to wear a temporary crown for a couple of weeks while you wait for the lab to produce your crown and return for your crown placement.  

On the other hand, if you choose a dentist offering same day crowns, you can have your crown created and placed in one visit.  

Both types of crowns offer nearly equal durability and lifespans, especially with good maintenance.  

What Happens When Getting Same Day Crowns?

  1. Site Prep: Before making the crown, the dentist needs to trim down your tooth to accommodate the crown.
  1. Say Cheese: The dentist will take pictures of your prepared tooth using a digital camera.  
  1. Processing: The computer in the dentist's office has CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) software installed. It processes the digital pictures to create a plan the milling machine will use to create your crown.
  1. Milling: The milling machine takes a piece of ceramic and carves out your crown based on the information provided by the computer. The process takes only a few minutes.  
  1. Polishing and Placement: The dentist polishes the crown and bonds it to your prepared tooth.  
  1. Smile: You can leave the dentist's office with a smile because you will have your permanent crown without needing a second appointment.  

Pros of Getting Same Day Crowns

Dentists recognize the many advantages single visit crowns offer to their patients.  

  • Natural looking: Single visit crowns use ceramic, which replicates the color and texture of natural teeth.  
  • Perfect fit: The dentist creates the crown in the office for a perfect fit.  
  • Patient convenience: Patients only need to schedule a single dental visit instead of two or more for crown placement.  
  • Long-lasting: Same day crowns use durable ceramic that can last for years with good care.  

Cons of Same Day Crowns

Same day crowns are so innovative that the biggest downside is finding a dentist that offers them. If you can find a dental office near you that provides single visit crowns, take advantage of the opportunity to choose that clinic when you need to have a damaged tooth repaired with a crown.
