Dental crowns are designed to cover damaged or weakened teeth, protecting them from further harm while restoring your smile’s appearance and function. Traditional dental crowns require multiple dental visits over the course of a few weeks. On the other hand, same-day dental crowns offer a faster solution, allowing you to walk out with a fully restored smile in just one visit. Here are five things to know about these time-saving restorations before you decide to get them.
Fast Results in Just Two Hours
Traditional crowns require several appointments, including preparing the tooth, taking impressions, and waiting for a lab to fabricate the restoration. This process can span weeks and involve wearing a temporary crown. Same-day crowns, however, streamline the process. In as little as two hours, your dentist can design, create, and place your permanent crown. This efficiency saves time and helps you achieve your healthy smile sooner.
Quality Isn’t Compromised
You might wonder if the speed of same-day crowns comes at the expense of durability or quality. Thankfully, it doesn’t. Same-day crowns are made from the same high-quality materials, such as dental-grade porcelain, as traditional crowns. They’re designed to handle everyday wear and tear while providing a long-lasting solution. Of course, proper care and good oral hygiene are key to maintaining any dental restoration.
Enjoy a Natural-Looking Smile
Like traditional crowns, same-day dental crowns are crafted to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Using dental-grade porcelain, they reflect light and mimic the color and texture of your original smile. In some cases, the advanced technology behind same-day crowns can even create restorations that appear more realistic than their traditional counterparts.
No More Messy Putty Impressions
If you’ve ever had traditional dental impressions taken, you probably remember the unpleasant experience of having a sticky, messy putty pressed onto your teeth. With same-day crowns, this step is eliminated thanks to advanced CEREC technology. Instead, your dentist uses digital imaging to create a 3D model of your teeth, ensuring precision and accuracy without the mess.
Achieve a Perfect Fit for Comfort and Function
The precision of 3D digital modeling ensures that same-day crowns fit your tooth perfectly and function harmoniously with the rest of your smile. Dentists can make real-time adjustments using cutting-edge equipment, creating a crown that feels comfortable and natural while promoting a healthy bite.
With same-day dental crowns, you don’t have to put your life on hold for multiple appointments to restore your smile. If you’re ready for a quick and convenient way to repair your teeth, schedule a consultation with your dentist today!
