Dental Crown Treatment: Is It Worth the Investment?

Some people know the unfortunate experience of breaking a tooth the day before a big event. Most would panic, afraid they’ll have to attend their wedding or important interview with a gaping hole in their smile. However, if your dentist has the right technology, they’ll be able to offer you a same-day tooth replacement and salvage your grin. Patients no longer have to schedule multiple visits to have a single dental crown placed. Temporary crowns are becoming a thing of the past; with technological advances, your dentist can complete the entire crown procedure and permanently cement it within a few hours.

What Is Dental Crown Treatment

As the name implies, a dental crown is a custom-fitted cap that covers a damaged or decayed tooth, restoring it’s shape, size, strength and appearance. Our office utilizes advanced technology that allows for dental crown treatment that is fast, and pain-free.

How They Are Made

Dental crowns are made using computerized technology for the precice fit. The tooth or teeth being treated are shaped to prepare the tooth for the crown. Using a computerized scanner, the dentist creates a customized digital impression.

The impression is sent to a lab that carves out the tooth’s shape in a ceramic block. Once completed, the patient’s tooth transforms from damaged or decayed to fully functional.

How Long Does It Take?

Conventional dental crowns require a minimum of two appointments. When you schedule your appointment, the dentist will let you know how long you can expect to be in the office.
