Same-day dental crowns provide a convenient and efficient solution for restoring damaged or weakened teeth. Rather than requiring two or more visits to complete your crown, this treatment uses advanced CAD/CAM technology to design, create and place your custom restoration in a single appointment. This approach saves you time, eliminates the need for temporary crowns and allows you to leave The Dental Suite with a fully restored smile the very same day. Same-day crowns in Chicago, Illinois, are strong, natural looking and tailored to match the color and shape of your surrounding teeth for a seamless result.
The Same-Day Crown Process
When you visit our office for a same-day crown, our dentist will first perform a thorough examination to ensure that a crown is the most appropriate treatment for your needs. Damaged, decayed or weakened tooth material will be carefully removed to create a stable foundation. Using a small camera, our dentist will take detailed digital images of your tooth and surrounding area. These images are used to create a highly accurate 3D model, eliminating the need for messy traditional impressions.
From this model, our dentist will design your crown to provide the proper shape, bite and aesthetic appearance. The design is then sent to an in-office milling machine, which carves the crown from a durable, tooth-colored ceramic block. In most cases, the milling process takes only a short time, allowing you to relax in the office while your restoration is created.
Placing Your New Crown
Once your crown is ready, our dentist will check the fit, make any necessary adjustments and bond it securely to your tooth. The crown will be polished to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, restoring both the function and appearance of your smile. Because everything is completed in a single visit, you will not have to return for a second appointment or manage a temporary crown.
Benefits of Same-Day Crowns
Same-day crowns offer multiple advantages over traditional methods. They save you time by eliminating the need for multiple visits and temporary crowns. Digital impressions are more comfortable than traditional molds and provide greater precision for an accurate fit. The high-quality ceramic used in same-day crowns is durable, resistant to staining and designed to last for many years with proper care. Additionally, the customized design ensures your restoration will look and feel natural, allowing you to chew, speak and smile with confidence.
