How Same-Day Crowns Transform Dental Treatment
Traditionally, receiving a dental crown would require multiple visits to the dentist’s office. The process involved taking impressions, fitting a temporary crown, and waiting for a dental lab to create the permanent crown. However, with same-day dental crowns, Dr. Michael Woody, DDS, utilizes advanced CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology to design and produce your custom crown in a single visit.
The Benefits of Choosing Same-Day Crowns
- Time Efficiency: Complete the entire process in just one appointment.
- Comfort: Eliminate the need for temporary crowns and reduce discomfort.
- Precision Fit: Advanced technology ensures a precise fit for your crown.
- Durability: Made from high-quality materials that are designed to last.
Your Same-Day Crown Procedure Explained
The procedure begins with preparing the affected tooth by removing any decay and shaping it for the crown. Next, Dr. Woody will use a digital scanner to create a highly accurate 3D image of your tooth. This image is then used to design your custom crown right in our office. Once designed, the crown is milled from a block of ceramic material that closely matches the natural color of your teeth. The final step involves bonding the newly created crown to your tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance—all within a few hours.
What Patients Can Expect with Same-Day Crowns
Choosing same-day crowns at Peach Tree Dental means you can expect minimal discomfort and a quick return to your daily activities. Since everything is done in one visit, there’s no need for temporary crowns or additional appointments. You’ll leave our office with a fully restored smile that feels natural and looks great.
