Thanks to the latest technology, busy moms, hard-workers, and anyone else with a tight schedule can avoid multiple dental visits for tooth repairs. How? Same-day crowns! These single visit restorations are at the forefront of cutting-edge dentistry, allowing patients to get custom-made, permanent crowns in just one appointment. However, there\u2019s more to know about them than you may think. Read on to learn 5 surprising facts about same-day crowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1. Single Visit Means Just 2 Hours<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to modern dental technology, a same-day crown is designed, created, and placed in about 2 hours. On the other hand, traditional crowns require at least 2 to 3 visits. This shorter turn around will reduce the time you spend at the dentist and away from your work, family, and other commitments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2. Same-Day Crowns Look Just as Natural as Traditional Ones<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just like traditional crowns, same-day restorations are design to match the color, size, and shape of the rest of your teeth. Made of high-quality dental porcelain, same-day crowns look and feel like your natural smile \u2013 many patients report that they forget which tooth got a same-day crown because of their lifelike appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3. Say Goodbye to Gross Putties<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Traditional crowns require a gross-tasting, messy putty to make molds of the affected area. While this was necessary in the past, it\u2019s simply unpleasant. However, thanks to same-day crowns, putty is eliminated. Using modern technology, your dentist will take digital impressions of your smile instead. They will take numerous images, which are combined to create a digital 3D model of the crown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4. Get Ultimate Precision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Because same-day crowns are made with a digital 3D image of the affected area, the results are always incredibly precise. Using the 3D model, your dentist can see how the crown would fit on the tooth before even placing it. This ensures that you\u2019ll enjoy a comfortable, perfect fit once the crown is placed, which also cuts down on future time and money spent on adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5. Single Visit Crowns Cost About the Same as Traditional Ones<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You may assume that same-day crowns are more expensive because they use the latest technology. However, the cost is usually about equal because they save you money in other areas. Same-day crowns eliminate the need for temporary crowns, but they also make it unnecessary for your dentist to send your impressions to a dental lab. This helps you and your dentist cut down on unnecessary fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While getting a dental crown will never be your favorite activity, same-day technology makes it more efficient, comfortable, and enjoyable than ever before!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
