What Are Same-Day Dental Crowns?
Same-day dental crowns are similar to traditional crowns in many ways. However, there are distinct differences between the two. When you meet with Dr. Vadnal and his team for the first time, they'll take the time to break down what same-day crowns entail and what to expect during the process. Same-day dental crowns are made of materials like ceramic, instead of the porcelain used for traditional crowns.
5 Reasons You'd Need Same-Day Crowns
There are various reasons that you'd need a same-day dental crown. Our dental team will work with you to determine the extent of your situation and whether same-day crowns can get your smile back on track. It's important to note that dental crowns are also ideal for situations not involving trauma, as they can be provided as part of a larger treatment plan, including for cosmetic reasons.
Some of the situations you may require our St. Louis same-day dental crowns include:
- Restoring a tooth that's enamel has been affected by tooth decay
- Protecting and strengthening a chipped or broken tooth
- Improving the structure of a tooth after root canal treatment
- Increasing the aesthetic appeal of a severely stained or discolored tooth
Our Same-Day Crown Process
During your initial appointment, Dr. Vadnal will conduct an extensive oral exam. Using x-ray technology, he'll look at the condition of your teeth, gums, and jawbones. He'll also ask you various questions about your oral health. Have you been experiencing tooth pain? Have you ever received a dental crown before? Finally, he'll present you with your same-day dental crown treatment plan, which outlines what to expect.
Once you've agreed to treatment, we'll start by taking 3D images of your smile using a digital scanner. Our team will then take the images and use our Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic or CEREC® dental machine to craft your crown. The machine works by milling out your restoration from a solid block of ceramic. From there, our dentist will secure your crown in place and make any necessary adjustments for a secure and comfortable fit.
