Same Day Crowns

A dental crown serves as a prosthetic solution for covering a tooth that is damaged or decayed. It is commonly employed when a tooth lacks the strength to support a filling or when a substantial filling necessitates replacement. Traditional dental crowns typically require a minimum of two dental appointments to complete. However, same-day crowns have gained popularity in recent years as a more convenient alternative. Same-day crowns, a type of dental crown, are designed, manufactured, and placed during a single dental visit, offering patients a quicker and more convenient option compared to the traditional approach.

Same-day crowns utilize computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technology. The process commences with a digital scan of the patient's teeth, which generates a 3D model of the tooth requiring the crown. The dentist employs this 3D model to craft the crown, considering the size, shape, and color to match the patient's natural teeth. After the design phase, the data is transmitted to a milling machine that carves the crown from a block of dental ceramic. Finally, the crown is polished and affixed to the tooth using dental cement.

Opting for same-day crowns offers several advantages over traditional dental crowns. Notably, it saves time and enhances convenience as patients can have their damaged teeth restored in a single dental visit, eliminating the need for multiple appointments. Furthermore, same-day crowns are engineered for exceptional durability and longevity, ensuring patients enjoy both functional and aesthetically pleasing tooth restoration for many years.
