When it comes to restoring your smile, time and convenience matter. That’s where same-day crowns come in—a revolutionary dental solution designed to not only save time but also enhance your overall dental experience. If you’ve been hesitant about dental crowns because of long waiting periods and multiple appointments, same-day crowns might be the perfect solution for you.
At 5 Mile Smiles in Spokane, Dr. Jason Keefe and his expert team specialize in state-of-the-art same-day crowns using cutting-edge CEREC technology.
Below, we’ll explore everything you need to know about same-day crowns and why they’re transforming dental care for patients.
What are Same-Day Crowns?
Same-day crowns are advanced dental restorations created and fitted in just one appointment. Unlike traditional crowns, which often require multiple visits and temporary restorations while waiting for off-site lab work, same-day crowns use CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) technology to streamline the process into a single visit.
CEREC technology scans your teeth, designs your custom crown digitally, and fabricates it on the spot using durable, natural-looking ceramic material. This means you leave the dentist’s chair with a fully restored tooth—all in one day.
Benefits Over Traditional Crowns
- Convenience: No need for multiple visits or temporary crowns.
- Quick Turnaround: Completed in just one visit, eliminating lengthy waiting periods.
- Precision and Comfort: Digital impressions ensure a highly accurate and comfortable fit.
Advantages of Same-Day Crowns
When it comes to dental restorations, same-day crowns offer a range of advantages that set them apart from traditional options. Below, we’ll take a closer look at the key benefits that make same-day dental crowns a game-changer in restorative dentistry.
Faster, More Convenient Solution
Forget about scheduling two or more appointments and wearing temporary crowns that might not fit well. Same-day crowns allow you to walk out of the dental office with your permanent crown in place after a single visit.
No Temporary Crowns
Temporary crowns can be uncomfortable and prone to issues like detachment. With same-day crowns, there’s no need for a “temporary fix”—you’ll receive your permanent crown immediately.
Advanced Technology for Precision
CEREC technology uses precise digital imaging to ensure that your crown fits perfectly. This not only saves time but also minimizes the margin of error compared to traditional molds.
Durable and Natural-Looking
The ceramic material used for same-day crowns doesn’t just look great; it’s also highly durable, ensuring your smile remains functional and beautiful for years to come.
The Procedure for Same-Day Crowns
Wondering what you can expect during your same-day crown appointment? Here’s how the process works at 5 Mile Smiles:
Step 1: Digital Impressions: Dr. Keefe will begin by using a high-precision digital scanner to capture a detailed, 3D model of your tooth. This technology removes the need for messy and uncomfortable traditional impressions.
Step 2: Custom Crown Design: The CEREC software uses the 3D scan to design your custom crown. Dr. Keefe ensures the design is tailored to your bite and aesthetic preferences.
Step 3: On-Site Fabrication: Your crown is milled from a solid block of ceramic right in the office. This process only takes about 15–20 minutes.
Step 4: Placement and Bonding: Once the crown is ready, Dr. Keefe will carefully fit it to your tooth and bond it securely in place. After minor adjustments and polishing, your smile is as good as new!
