Can Crowns Really Be Done In One Day?

Are you tired of multiple dental appointments to get a crown? Do you dread the discomfort of a temporary crown and the inconvenience of waiting for a lab to make your permanent one? If so, you're not alone. At Cedar Avenue Family Dentistry, we understand your concerns and we're here to tell you about a revolutionary solution that can save you time and hassle: Same-Day Crowns.

The Magic of Same-Day Crowns

Same-day crowns are a game changer in the world of dental restorations. Traditional crowns take several visits to complete, often with several weeks in between. During that time, a temporary crown must be worn to protect the prepared tooth, which can be ill-fitting and uncomfortable. 

However, using advanced digital technology and modern techniques, we can design, create, and place a custom crown in just a single visit to our office, often in just a few short hours. Here's how it works:

Digital Impressions: No more messy putty in your mouth. We take a digital scan of your tooth, which is more comfortable and accurate.

Computer-Aided Design (CAD): We use this scan to design your new crown right on the computer screen.

In-office milling machine: The design is sent to our milling machine, which carves your new crown out of a solid block of ceramic.

Benefits of Same-Day Crowns

Same-day crowns offer a host of benefits over traditional crowns:

• Time-saving: No multiple visits. Get your crown in one appointment.
• Comfort: No temporary crowns. No messy impressions.
• Quality: Your crown is designed with precision and made of high-quality ceramic.

Are Same-Day Crowns Right for You?

While same-day crowns are a fantastic option, they may not be suitable for everyone. Factors like your oral health, the location of the tooth needing a crown, and your personal preferences will determine if this is the best option for you. During your consultation, we will discuss all the options available and help you make an informed decision.

Caring for Your Same-Day Crown

Just like your natural teeth, your same-day crown requires regular care to stay in top shape:

• Regular brushing and flossing: This helps keep your crown and surrounding teeth clean.
• Routine check-ups: Regular visits to the dentist will ensure your crown is in good condition.
