What is same-day dentistry?

Same-day crowns provide your dentist with the ability of delivering the best dental experience to you using the latest technology and clinically proven materials. In contrast to conventional dentistry, which often takes two full appointments to restore a single tooth, this system enables your dentist to scan the prepared tooth in your mouth, design the final restoration virtually, then send the information wireless to an in-office milling station. Your crown is then created with precision in just minutes. Your dentist then adjusts the crown and characterizes it with color or polish to blend with your other teeth. Your permanent crown is then ready to be seated in your mouth the same day. This eliminates the need to wear a temporary for weeks at a time and come back for another appointment to get your crown seated.

Why is same-day dentistry healthier?

Conventional methods of placing single crowns usually require two appointments. During the first one, the dentist prepares the tooth, takes an impression to make the crown, and then puts on a temporary crown. A temporary crown might have to be worn for up to 4 weeks. During that time a lot of things can happen to your tooth—it can shift position, become more sensitive, or more susceptible to breaking. Same-day dentistry provides you with more convenience and eliminates the waiting period where these negative things can happen to your tooth and mouth. Same-day dentistry is healthier dentistry.
