If you have a fractured or busted tooth, are experiencing discomfort when chewing or exposed to hot or cold temperature levels, or want to eliminate unattractive metal crowns or fillings, then dental crowns might be a good alternative for you. Dental Crowns cover the outter surface of the affected tooth, adding sturdiness and stability to it.
Same-day dental crowns are a choice that we provide on a case by case basis to patients who would benefit from the procedure. They allow patients to come to our office and leave within a couple hours with their permanent dental crown in place that same day. This gets rid of the need to have a short-term crown placed then another check-up set up for the placement of the final crown.
Our Same-Day Crowns are made with our new technology that scans the mouth to obtain the proper measurements of your tooth and surrounding teeth, then makes your crown right there in the office. These restorations are really strong and durable and constructed out of the highest quality porcelain available. In some cases, a gold crown might be suggested for your posterior teeth (back teeth) if you grind or clinch your teeth a lot.
Gold crowns are different from porcelain crowns, and the expense may differ between the two and you might wish to discuss your budget too with the your dental practitioner. Your dental practitioner will go over with you the types of crowns available and offer you a suggestion based on your specific situation.
