At our dental practice we do same day crowns. You may be asking, what are same day crowns and what can it do for me?
It is a 3D system that lets us make porcelain crowns and inlays all in one visit. We have actually now been using this innovation for multiple years and love it more than ever.
Same day crowns are an in-surgery computer system that allows us to change broken or missing tooth structures with a ceramic material that's as close to a natural tooth as is possible.
This is done while you are in the practice, in simply one visit. All ceramic porcelain inlays and onlays, veneers and crowns that look like natural teeth can be made and fitted in a single visit, normally in about an hour.
So what is the treatment?
We scan the opposite teeth and the method the teeth bite together first. We eliminate the old filling, and degeneration and any thin weak tooth product and scan the prepared tooth.
After this we quit working in the mouth and begin working with the computer.
Everyone enjoys seeing the pictures of their teeth and the designing of their new tooth. We make 3D design and this information is sent to the milling unit.
Everyone asks if this is like 3D printing and yes it is, but the tooth is not developed layer by layer, it is cut back from a block in the machine, which is much more durable.
The block is then precisely sculpted to produce your brand-new restoration, which is great.
At last, the custom made crown restoration bonded perfectly into the tooth, strengthening and sealing it at the same time and after that we clean up!
We have to ensure that you can bite correctly, that its smooth and that you can floss.
