When a tooth is damaged, cracked, or weakened, a crown is often the best solution to restore both strength and appearance. Traditionally, crowns require multiple visits and temporary restorations, which can be inconvenient and time-consuming. Same-day crowns offer a faster, more efficient option without sacrificing quality. At Cary Family Dental, Dr. Niraj Patel and his team use advanced digital technology to design and place custom crowns in just one appointment.
How Same-Day Crowns Work
Instead of relying on messy impressions and waiting weeks for a dental lab, same-day crowns are created right here in our office. Using digital imaging, we scan your tooth and design the crown on-screen for a precise fit. Then, the crown is milled on-site from a durable ceramic material that closely mimics the look and feel of natural enamel.
Once finished, the crown is bonded securely to your tooth the very same day. No temporary crowns, no follow-up visits just to get the final result.
Benefits of Same-Day Crowns
Same-day crowns offer a number of advantages, including:
- Convenience: Completed in a single visit, saving you time and multiple trips.
- Comfort: Digital scanning replaces traditional molds, which many patients find uncomfortable.
- Aesthetics: The ceramic material is shaded to match your natural teeth for a seamless smile.
- Strength: These crowns are built to withstand normal chewing forces and daily wear.
For many patients, the combination of efficiency and quality makes same-day crowns the preferred choice.
Are Same-Day Crowns Right for You?
Crowns are often recommended for teeth that are fractured, have large fillings, or have undergone root canal treatment. They can also improve the appearance of a tooth that is misshapen or discolored. During your consultation, Dr. Patel will examine your tooth and recommend whether a crown—or another treatment option—makes the most sense for you.
