Single Visit Crowns And Teeth Restorations
Do you have to get a dental crown? Or will you soon be needing a dental treatment that will cause you to need a dental crown? If so, you may be beginning to dread the time you will need to spend at the dental practitioner's office. At our dental practice, we provide a great time-saving option for you. We offer same day crowns at our practice!
At our practice we are proud to have expert and highly-trained dentists on staff. At our dental practice we integrate advanced innovations and procedures to offer our patients with the best restorative, preventive, implant, and cosmetic dentistry care. For patients who need to get dental crowns, we are really pleased to be able to offer same day crowns.
Crowns and caps are 2 different names for the same thing. A dental crown is a restoration that is usually made from porcelain. It is a strong structure that is used to cover a tooth on all 4 sides to help strengthen the tooth and enhance its function.
Crowns can also be used to connect bridges, as the top portion of a dental implant, or to prevent a damaged tooth from ending up being weaker. Crowns can also be used to strengthen a tooth after a root canal treatment.
Crowns are also used for purely aesthetic reasons, such as to cover a severely stained tooth that has to be restored to its initial, attractive appearance.
Usually getting a dental crown is a lengthy treatment. The dentist will need to take impressions, provide you with a temporary crown, await the crown to be returned from a laboratory, and then have you go back to the office so that it can be permanently attached. Today at our practice clients can get same day crowns in about two hours.
Our same day crowns are created in our practice thanks to our CAD-CAM technology.
CAD-CAM means "computer-aided-design-computer-aided-manufacture." Computers are used to take photos which are then computer-analyzed and used to develop a crown.
This crown is really milled by a computer in our office. The crown will fit your mouth precisely and eliminate any need to send impressions or images to an outside laboratory.
All this is done while you wait, removing the need to return for a second visit.
You also will not need to get a short-term crown, since our long-term crown will be immediately offered to you.
