Same-Day Crowns
A tooth that has been structurally damaged by decay or trauma sometimes needs to be crowned or “capped” so that it can look good and function properly again. A crown is a durable covering that is custom-made to fit over the entire tooth from the gum line up.
Getting a crown used to mean multiple office visits and weeks of waiting time, but now there is a much more convenient option—same-day crowns. Same-day crowns and other tooth restorations can be made in the dentist’s office and often in minutes using technology known as Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM).
Benefits of Same-Day Crowns
Traditional crowns require you to get temporary crowns while you wait for the permanent crown to be made. Same-day crowns eliminate the expense of the temporary crown, and the expense of the multiple appointments that traditional crowns require.
With temporary crowns, you have to be careful how you eat so that the temporary crown doesn’t fall out. With same-day crowns, you will have full functioning of your teeth again.
Same-Day Crown Process
Caring for your crown is very similar to caring for your natural teeth. As always, you need to regularly brush and floss. With crowns, it’s even more important to maintain a regular schedule of professional cleanings at the dental office. If you have a grinding habit, talk to your dentist about a mouthguard to protect your teeth and crowns.
