Living with a severely damaged tooth can be painful, embarrassing, and frustrating. In addition to impacting your speech and chewing, discolored, fractured, or decayed teeth can make it hard to sleep and concentrate. Fortunately, modern same day crown technology gives dentists the opportunity to resolve problems and restore function within the same appointment.

Here are three powerful benefits of same day crowns:

High-Quality, Customized Dental Work 

To create same day crowns, dentists used highly-accurate 3D scanning equipment to take digital impressions of your teeth. After your teeth are scanned, the information is sent to a digital milling machine that creates your new crown in minutes. These site-milled crowns are comparable in quality to lab-made versions, and they can be adjusted easier since they are made on the spot.

Only One Appointment

Instead of having your tooth cleaned, receiving a temporary crown, and returning to the dentist after your new dental crown comes in, same day crowns allow patients to enjoy great dental work in a single appointment. This feature is especially helpful for patients who travel frequently or have busy schedules.

Personal Comfort

Receiving a dental crown on the same day the tooth is prepared also allows people to enjoy a more comfortable experience since temporary crowns can make your teeth sensitive and complicate mealtimes. Additionally, since same day crowns are permanent, your smile can be transformed immediately, helping build your confidence.
