Discover the Magic of Same-Day Crowns at Chamberlain Dental

Discover the Magic of Same-Day Crowns at Chamberlain Dental

April 30, 2024

Introduction:

For patients in need of dental crowns, the traditional process of obtaining these restorations can be time-consuming, often requiring multiple appointments and waiting for an off-site dental lab to fabricate the crown. However, advances in dental technology have provided a solution to these inconveniences – same-day crowns. These revolutionary crowns offer numerous benefits, including significantly reduced treatment time and unparalleled convenience for patients.

Same-day crowns are dental crowns that are designed, fabricated, and placed all within a single appointment. This is made possible through the use of advanced technology, such as computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) systems, as well as the CEREC milling machine, which together allow your dentist to create a precise and customized dental crown in an expedited timeframe. This means that patients no longer need to endure the hassle of temporary crowns or extended wait times; instead, they can enjoy a fully restored and functional tooth in just one visit to Chamberlain Dental.

So, join us as we discuss the innovative technology behind same-day crowns, explore their benefits, and reveal how Chamberlain Dental incorporates this state-of-the-art solution to provide patients with the highest quality dental restorations in the most efficient manner possible.

The Technology Behind Same-Day Crowns

The revolutionizing technology responsible for the efficiency of same-day crowns is the integration of CAD/CAM systems and the CEREC milling machine. These cutting-edge tools work in tandem to provide an expedited and precise dental crown production process.

  1. CAD/CAM: Computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) systems have streamlined numerous aspects of dentistry, including the design and fabrication of dental restorations. This powerful technology allows dental professionals to create digital models of your teeth and precisely design a customized dental crown that will seamlessly integrate with your existing teeth.

  2. CEREC Milling Machine: The Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics (CEREC) milling machine is a state-of-the-art device that fabricates dental crowns from a block of high-quality ceramic material. The CAD software provides the CEREC machine with the design data, which it then utilizes to carve the dental crown with unparalleled precision, ensuring an accurate and comfortable fit.

The Benefits of Same-Day Crowns

Opting for same-day crowns presents several benefits that cater to the needs of patients seeking high-quality and time-efficient dental restorations.

  1. Decreased Treatment Time: The most significant advantage of same-day crowns is the reduction in treatment time. Traditional dental crown procedures typically require at least two dental appointments, with additional days or even weeks of waiting for the crown to be fabricated by an off-site dental lab. With same-day crowns, however, patients receive their permanent restoration within a single appointment.

  2. Enhanced Convenience for Patients: Same-day crowns eliminate the need for multiple appointments and the inconvenience of fitting them into your busy schedule, ultimately providing a hassle-free dental experience.

  3. No Temporary Crowns: Traditional crown procedures necessitate the use of temporary crowns to protect the prepared tooth while waiting for the final crown. These temporary restorations can sometimes be uncomfortable and prone to dislodgement. With same-day crowns, this intermediate step is eliminated, allowing your dentist to place the permanent crown immediately.

  4. High-Quality Material: Same-day crowns are made from durable and natural-looking ceramic materials, which provide a long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing dental restoration that matches the appearance of your surrounding teeth.

The Same-Day Crown Procedure at Chamberlain Dental

The process of receiving a same-day crown at Chamberlain Dental is efficient and streamlined, ensuring optimal patient comfort throughout the experience.

  1. Initial Consultation: Your dentist will first examine your oral health and evaluate the need for a dental crown. If a same-day crown is deemed appropriate, the treatment process can begin immediately.

  2. Tooth Preparation: Much like a traditional crown, your dentist will prepare the tooth by removing any decay and shaping the tooth structure to accommodate the dental crown.

  3. Digital Impressions: Utilizing the CAD/CAM system, your dentist will take digital impressions of your prepared tooth, which will be used to create a 3D model of your restoration.

  4. Crown Design: With the CAD software, your dentist will carefully design the dental crown to ensure the proper size, shape, and color, customizing it to accurately complement your natural teeth.

  5. Crown Fabrication: The CEREC milling machine will receive the design data and begin carving your dental crown from the ceramic material, which generally takes under an hour.

  6. Crown Placement: After checking the fit and appearance of the crown, your dentist will bond it to your tooth using dental cement, ensuring a secure attachment. Finally, any necessary adjustments will be made, and the overall fit will be assessed.

Caring for Your Same-Day Crown

To maintain and ensure the longevity of your same-day crown, follow these simple care guidelines:

  1. Practice Good Oral Hygiene: Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and use floss or an interdental cleaner to remove plaque and debris between teeth daily, just as you would with your natural teeth.

  2. Attend Regular Dental Checkups: Schedule regular dental checkups and professional cleanings with your dentist to ensure optimal oral health and monitor your dental crown's integrity.

  3. Avoid Damaging Habits: Steer clear of using your teeth to open packages or for any other non-dental purposes. Similarly, avoid chewing on ice, hard candy, or other hard objects to prevent potential damage to your crown and natural teeth.

Your Story is our story!

“In my 20 years of being here never have I walked into a more comfortable dental office than this one. The whole team is amazingly friendly and compassionate. I don't remember ever going to a dentist and feeling this cared for and comfortable. They truly want to save your original teeth and are not just looking to bill high procedures when they're not necessary. They deserve 6 stars.”

Haris V.

“My entire family has been going to Chamberlain Dental for years. The staff is very friendly and always helpful. Lisa (who does our teeth cleaning) is super gentle and explains everything she is doing from start to finish. Her procedures are always quick and painless. Janice (front desk) went out of her way to show me the proper steps for my at-home teeth whitening after my first two attempts alone failed miserably. And this was on a Friday afternoon, right before closing time. These are just 2 examples of how the entire staff goes above and beyond to make every visit pleasant. I highly recommend Dr. Chamberlain and his staff for all of your General Dentistry needs.”
