When it comes to fixing a broken tooth or completing your smile following tooth loss, crowns offer a convenient, long term solution. Traditionally, the process for receiving a new crown could take several weeks from the first impression to your final fitting. However, the prevalence and convenience of same-day crowns are quickly changing how patients reinforce and restore their smile.
Unlike the traditional 2+ weeks, patients can now visit their dentist for a general check-up and leave with a completely new smile. With this new approach to dental restorations, it’s no wonder that same-day crowns are quickly becoming a popular option for busy patients. There are a number of other way restorations are done:
1. Same -Day Appointment: For many patients, having to schedule multiple appointments for a single restoration can be difficult. With one-day dental crowns, patients can come in for their routine cleaning, have impressions taken and sent to the lab, then be fit with a completely new crown, all in one appointment.
2. Simple Process: Where traditional crown manufacturing may require dental goop to take the impressions, same-day crowns are manufactured using intra-oral scanning. With these innovative tools, highly detailed images are used to create a crown that fits seamlessly into your smile.
3. No Temporary: As the crowns are manufactured and placed all in the one day, same day crowns eliminate the need for temporary crowns to be placed. Often, provisional crowns can be uncomfortable, causing tooth sensitivity as well as bite misalignment. With same day crowns, patients can avoid this unpleasant step and receive a lasting solution to their dental condition.
4. Natural Look, Comfortable Fit: With same-day crowns, patients don’t need to sacrifice the look of their smile. At Sterling’s Family Dentistry, we send your impressions as well as images the surrounding teeth to a local lab. The result is an all-ceramic crown that is indistinguishable from your natural teeth and fits comfortably into your smile.
5. Durable Restoration: As same-day crowns are all-ceramic, patients receive a highly durable restoration that can withstand daily wear and tear. These resilient crowns allow patients to enjoy a long-lasting restoration that is easy to care for, requiring no additional maintenance aside from routine brushing and flossing.
At Family Dentistry in Sterling, we value your time and are committed to providing patients with solutions that improve the look and function of their smile. For more information about same-day crowns, contact our Sterling dental office today.
