Can a Crown Be Done in One Visit?
Do you have a damaged tooth that needs a crown? Are you worried about the time it will take to get it done? We have good news for you. At Pacific Oak Dental, we understand that your time is precious. That's why we offer single-visit crowns, a revolutionary dental procedure that lets you walk out of our office with a permanent crown in just one appointment.
What is a Same-Day Crown?
A same-day crown is a dental restoration procedure that is completed in one appointment, as opposed to traditional crowns that require two or more visits. This is made possible by state-of-the-art technology that designs and fabricates the crown in our office while you wait.
Not only does this save you time, but it also eliminates the need for a temporary crown and multiple injections. This means less discomfort and inconvenience for you.
Benefits of Same-Day Crowns
Same-day crowns offer numerous benefits over traditional crowns. Here are a few:
- Convenience: No need for multiple appointments or time off work.
- Comfort: No temporary crowns or repeat injections.
- Quality: Custom-made with precision technology for a perfect fit.
Moreover, single-visit crowns are just as durable and aesthetically pleasing as traditional crowns. They are made from high-quality ceramic material that mimics the look and feel of natural teeth.
Who is a Good Candidate for Same-Day Crowns?
Most patients who need a crown can benefit from a single-visit crown. Whether you have a large filling that needs to be replaced, a broken tooth, or a tooth that has undergone root canal therapy, a single-visit crown can restore your tooth to its natural function and appearance.
However, like any dental procedure, it's not suitable for everyone. Dr. Jared Thompson will conduct a thorough examination and discuss your options with you to determine the best course of treatment.
What to Expect During the Procedure
During your appointment, Dr. Thompson will prepare your tooth for the crown, just like in a traditional crown procedure. Then, using advanced digital imaging, he will take a precise 3D image of your tooth.
This image is then used to design your crown on a computer. The design is sent to our in-office milling machine, which carves your crown out of a ceramic block. Once the crown is ready, Dr. Thompson will check the fit and make any necessary adjustments before cementing it to your tooth.
