Same-day crowns, inlays, and onlays offer quick, long-lasting tooth restoration options.
Same-Day Crowns
Same-day crowns offer convenience by allowing you to get a dental crown in a single appointment. Traditional crowns require multiple visits, but same-day crowns leverage CAD/CAM technology. This stands for computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing. The process starts with your dentist taking a digital impression of your tooth. Next, the software designs the crown based on this scan. Once designed, the crown is milled right in the dentist's office.
Advantages:
- Time-saving: Only one visit is needed.
- Comfort: No need for temporary crowns.
- Precision: Digital impressions are often more accurate.
Materials used:
Same-day crowns can be made from a variety of materials, like ceramic and zirconia. These materials are both durable and match the color of your natural teeth.
