WHAT ARE SAME DAY CROWNS?
Same-day crowns in Chattanooga TN are a version of dental crowns that can be measured, made, and fitted all in the same appointment. Yes, that’s right! No longer do patients needing crowns need to attend their first appointment for measurements and moulds, and then wait weeks for their next appointment to have them fitted. Instead because of advancements in dental technology, it is now possible to complete all these tasks in a much more convenient single visit.
WHAT IS SAME DAY CROWN TECHNOLOGY?
Same-day crown technology or CEREC® (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic) as it is also known is a breakthrough in dentistry that uses CAD/CAM technology to create an image of the tooth, and then use this image to craft a crown at the dental practice rather than at an outside lab.
HOW DO SAME-DAY DENTAL CROWNS WORK?
It’s simple and easy. Just attend your single crown dental appointment and we’ll take a photo of the tooth that needs a crown with the latest CAD/CAM technology. We’ll then use this image to craft you a high-quality permanent crown from high-quality ceramic in a matter of hours. Lastly, on the same day, we will fit your new crown into place and polish it. All of this means you’ll leave our practice with a comfortable, secure and permanent crown without the usual 2-week wait or the inconvenience of a temporary crown.
Benefits of same-day crowns over traditional crowns
In addition to the fact that they are much faster, more convenient, and more cost-effective, there are also so many benefits of same-day crowns compared to traditional crowns.
1. They are designed to look just like your real teeth.
We’ll use our digital scanner to replicate the precise color and shape of your teeth for your crown. That means once it’s fitted, your crown will not only be super comfortable but also undetectable from the rest.
2. With same-day crowns, there is no need for dental putty
We’ve noticed that one of the things our patients enjoy the least is the dental putty used to take a mould for traditional crowns. The great news is that with same-day crowns there is no need for this putty as all the measurements are done with state-of-the-art high-tech equipment.
3. With same-day crowns, you don’t need a temporary crown fitted
No need to wear a poorly matched temporary crown for weeks and your tooth will have maximum protection right away.
4. Improved comfort
Due to the enhanced imaging provided by same-day crown technology a more natural and comfortable fit can be achieved.
5. Same-day crowns are more cost-effective than traditional crowns
While you might expect same-day crowns to be more expensive than the traditional variety. This is not the case. Indeed, because they only require a single appointment for measurement, crafting and fitting, same-day crowns can be more cost-efficient than traditional ones.
