If you\u2019re struggling with one or more teeth that are damaged or decayed, it can seem like a lifetime while waiting several weeks for a permanent replacement. However, with same-day dental crowns<\/a>, you\u2019ll be able to effectively restore your compromised pearly whites with a natural-looking and durable solution in just a single appointment! Not too familiar with the process? Read on to learn four things you should know about same-day dental crowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Fact #1: They Usually Take Two Hours to Complete<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If completing your restoration treatment in a single visit isn\u2019t enough, you\u2019ll be happy to know that you can get your new crown in only two short hours! Compared to this, traditional options usually need two or three appointments to complete, which are spaced out over a few weeks to a whole month. This can sometimes mean using more of your paid time off or even missing classroom time to be at the dentist\u2019s office. With same-day dental crowns, you won\u2019t have to worry about shuffling your schedule around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact #2: No Gross-Tasting, Messy Impressions Necessary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many traditional dental crown treatments usually require taking gooey, messy, and bad-tasting impressions of your smile. Fortunately, this part of the process isn\u2019t necessary for same-day alternatives. Unlike traditional restorations, CEREC technology utilizes a digital scanner that renders 3D models of your pearly whites. This provides more comfort and a higher level of accuracy for your impressions.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact #3: They Aren\u2019t Always More Expensive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s normal to assume that getting CEREC same-day dental crowns might cost more due to the use of cutting-edge technology. However, this isn\u2019t always the case. Since your restoration treatment doesn\u2019t require you to wear a provisional set or for a dental lab to fabricate your crown, you can end up saving money for both you and your dentist. Also, you won\u2019t have to take time off work, so you can keep most of your PTO while avoiding needing to schedule multiple appointments that might require paying a co-pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact #4: They Are Custom-Crafted From Porcelain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The only thing that same-day and traditional dental crowns share in common is that they\u2019re constructed out of porcelain material. Not only does this offer an incredibly durable restoration, but your tooth replacement will also reflect light similar to your natural enamel. This means you\u2019ll be able to enjoy brand-new pearly whites without others even noticing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if you have a tooth that\u2019s sustained significant decay or damage, you can quickly repair it with a same-day dental crown. Speak with your dentist if you\u2019re interested, and they\u2019ll be happy to determine if this is the best solution for your smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
