Same Day Crowns versus Traditional Crowns
When you have a fractured or damaged tooth due to decay, a crown is recommended to restore the functionality and appearance. The final crown will look and feel like your natural tooth.
A traditional crown process can take multiple visits and may require being numb more than once. For busy or nervous individuals, this multiple step process is not convenient.
What Are Same Day Crowns?
Same-day crowns, also known as milled crowns, are finished within a single appointment. The crown is created using our CAD/CAM technology.
-
First, your dentist will prepare and scan the tooth using a digital 3D camera.
-
Next, allow thirty minutes for the CEREC mill to complete your crown, while you relax at our comfortable office.
What Are The Advantages to Same Day Crowns?
It only takes ONE appointment and NO impression material! Your Brandon dentist will design, create, and fit your permanent crown within a single visit. Allowing for a comfortable visit with no temporaries.
Although same-day crowns are convenient to our patients, it is important to note that same-day crowns are NOT more expensive than traditional crowns.
Other advantages include the following:
-
There is less risk of injuring the tooth while wearing a temporary crown.
-
You are able to resume your normal diet and daily routine the same day.
-
Digital impressions are extremely accurate and work better for patients with a gag reflex.
-
The crown is made from tooth-colored material and thus, will look natural.
Should You Get Same Day Crowns?
Our experienced Brandon dentists will discuss both options with you. Choosing same-day crowns versus traditional crowns completely depend on which tooth needs a crown, the skill of your dentist, and your availability to come in for multiple appointments.
