What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped restoration made to repair and strengthen a compromised tooth. When your tooth is severely damaged or decayed, it can no longer protect the delicate nerves inside the tooth. The crown is custom-made to fit over the entire tooth, preventing further damage and preserving the natural structures underneath. Our same-day crowns are made from porcelain, offering a durable restoration that looks and feels natural.
What Are the Benefits of Same-Day Crowns?
Same-day crowns offer many of the same benefits as traditional crowns while offering convenience and speed from our ability to complete your restoration in a single appointment. Overall, same-day crowns offer a more streamlined and efficient process than traditional crowns. If we determine that our same-day crowns are right for you, here are some key benefits you can expect:
- Protection: A crown acts as a protective shield around your tooth to prevent damage and potential tooth loss.
- Durability: Porcelain is a durable material that can withstand the daily wear and tear that comes with using your teeth.
- Reduced Pain: When you have severe tooth decay or damage, it can cause sensitivity or pain in the affected tooth, which can greatly impact your daily life. Because a crown protects the sensitive inner nerves of your tooth, it will also help prevent pain.
- Efficiency: In most cases, only one appointment is needed for a same-day crown so you can quickly return to living your life.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Not only is porcelain durable, but it also mimics the translucency and shine of your natural enamel. We will customize your crown to match the shape and shade of your natural teeth so it fits seamlessly into your smile.
What Is the Process for Getting a Crown?
The traditional process of getting a tooth crown involves getting an impression, placing a temporary crown, and then returning for a second appointment to have your permanent crown placed. CEREC same-day crowns are an innovative way to create a quality restoration for your smile in a single appointment without any loss in durability or quality compared to traditional crowns. This means not having to deal with the inconvenience of multiple appointments or caring for a temporary crown.
Our team will do a comprehensive exam of any problem teeth to determine if a crown is the best option for you. Some of the most common reasons for needing a crown include:
- After a root canal, when the tooth is exposed and susceptible to further decay, bacteria, and infection.
- Significant tooth decay, where there is not enough healthy tooth structure left to support a filling, but the tooth doesn't need to be extracted.
- A severely broken, cracked, or damaged tooth.
- A discolored, chipped, or misshapen tooth where a crown could be a better choice over a veneer.
After determining if a crown is right for your situation, we will carefully prepare and shape your tooth to receive your crown. Our team can then take detailed impressions for a precise and secure fit. Our in-house CEREC machine will mill your custom crown from a single block of porcelain so you can walk out of our office with your new smile in as little as two hours.
