GOT SAME-DAY CROWNS? WE DO!
Do you enjoy taking time off work and rearranging your schedule to manage multiple visits to your dental office? Probably not! The value of your time is one of several reasons Exceptional Smiles offers same-day crowns to our patients. You can restore your smile with same-day crowns without long wait times or multiple appointments. Our office creates same-day crowns with the latest technology that only takes a few hours from beginning to end. After cleaning and preparing the tooth, your dentist will use a camera to take 3D images of
detailed image of your tooth, creating only an approximation with fewer lifelike ridges and crevices. Traditional crowns are also less likely to match the color of your other teeth and can sometimes stand out. Due to the highly precise digital technology used with same-day crowns, the results are more detailed and lifelike. Many people feel same-day crowns look and fit better than traditional options. Since the high-definition images also capture the color of your teeth, the crown color is a very close match to the rest of your smile, and few people can tell the difference between a crown and a regular tooth. The cost of same-day crowns is comparable to traditional crowns, and you’ll save precious time by needing only one visit. Meanwhile, you can avoid the inconvenience of temporary crowns. These placeholders provide a less comfortable fit, increasing the likelihood of damaging your tooth further while you wait for your permanent traditional crowns. Same-day crowns don’t work for everyone, particularly patients with tooth fractures below the gumline. Some people also prefer the porcelain used in traditional crowns. But for most of our patients, same-day crowns are a convenient, long-lasting solution. If you need a crown but have been avoiding the hassle, don’t continue to wait! Call our office today to schedule an appointment, and our dentists will explore whether same-day crowns are a good fit for you.
your mouth and load the results to computer software. The same-day crown technology then mills the crown in-office while you wait.
