Gone are the days when getting a dental crown meant multiple appointments, messy impressions, and wearing an uncomfortable temporary crown for weeks. Thanks to revolutionary same-day crowns technology, Dr. Oksana Hellge at Advanced Care Dentistry in Scottsdale can now create and place your custom crown in just one visit.
What Are Same-Day Crowns?
Same-day crowns are permanent dental restorations that are designed, milled, and placed during a single dental appointment. Using advanced CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) technology, we can fabricate high-quality ceramic crowns right here in our office while you wait. This means no temporary crowns, no second appointments, and no additional time off work.
How CAD CAM Dentistry Works
CAD CAM dentistry combines computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing to create precise dental restorations. Here’s what you can expect during your appointment:
- Digital Scanning: Instead of traditional putty impressions, we use a small digital scanner to capture detailed 3D images of your tooth
- Custom Design: Dr. Hellge designs your crown using specialized software, ensuring a perfect fit and natural appearance
- In-Office Milling: Our advanced milling machine carves your crown from a solid block of high-quality ceramic material
- Same-Day Placement: Once milled and polished, your crown is ready to be bonded to your tooth immediately
Benefits of a One-Visit Dental Crown
The advantages of receiving a one-visit dental crown extend far beyond convenience. Patients at our Scottsdale practice appreciate:
Time Savings
With traditional crowns, you’d need at least two appointments spaced weeks apart. Same-day crowns eliminate the waiting period entirely, making them perfect for busy professionals and families.
No Temporary Crowns
Temporary crowns can be uncomfortable, may fall off, and require dietary restrictions. With CEREC technology, you skip this inconvenient step altogether.
Precision and Accuracy
Digital impressions are more accurate than traditional molds, resulting in crowns that fit better and feel more comfortable. The computer-guided design ensures optimal function and aesthetics.
Durable Materials
CEREC crowns are made from high-quality ceramic that closely mimics the strength and appearance of natural tooth enamel. These restorations are built to last for many years with proper care.
Is a CEREC Crown Right for You?
A CEREC crown can be an excellent solution for various dental issues, including:
- Severely decayed teeth
- Cracked or fractured teeth
- Teeth with large fillings that need additional support
- Cosmetic improvements for misshapen or discolored teeth
During your consultation, Dr. Hellge will evaluate your specific needs and determine if same-day crown technology is the best option for your situation.
