What is a crown?
A dental crown is a tooth-like cap placed over your natural tooth. It helps treat various dental conditions, including severely decayed, broken, damaged, or chipped teeth. Crowns have several benefits to your oral health, including:
· Restores a decayed tooth
· Prevents a tooth from further damage
· Strengthens a weakened tooth
· Covers an unsightly tooth
Crowns are also common after a root canal treatment to enhance the structure and shape of your teeth. A crown feels and looks like your natural tooth, restoring your teeth’s functions.
In most cases, a crown procedure may take a while, usually more than a day. But, at Alta Canada Dental Group, you can get a same-day crown enhancing your smile immediately.
What material makes up a same-day crown?
The dental specialists at Alta Canada Dental Group provide same-day CEREC crowns. The crowns consist of a solid block of pressed ceramic or resin. The ceramic is strong, withstanding the pressure from biting, among other tooth functions.
The same-day crowns resemble your natural tooth, including the color and light reflection, blending well with your natural smile.
What are the advantages of a same-day crown?
The fact that you get your crown in a single doctor’s visit makes same-day crowns special.
Typically, when getting a crown, your provider removes some part of your enamel, takes the impression of your smile, and presents the impression to a lab. Then the lab designs your crown, which usually takes some days.
You wear a temporary crown as you wait for your crown to be ready, where you have to come back to your doctor’s office for the crown placement. It requires you to take some time off your schedule to complete the procedure.
With a same-day crown, your provider removes some part of your tooth enamel and takes a digital scan. Then uploads the scan to a CEREC machine, where it mills your crown as you wait. The whole process takes less than two hours, allowing you to leave the office with your restored smile.
Other advantages of a same-day crown include:
· It saves you time and money
· Same-day CEREC crowns are metal-free, hence friendly to use for individuals allergic to metals.
· It enhances comfort. You do need to wear temporary crowns, which may bring discomfort compared to a same-day crown.
· It restores your teeth’s function immediately.
· Prevents decay and injury caused by temporary crowns
