The Benefits of Same-Day Crowns

Choosing same-day crowns at Tartan Dental comes with a range of advantages that set them apart from traditional lab-fabricated crowns:

Time-Saving Convenience

No more multiple dental appointments and temporary crowns. With same-day crowns, you can transform your smile in a single visit, leaving with your permanent restoration the very same day.

Accurate and Precise Fit

The use of CAD/CAM technology ensures a highly accurate fit for your crown. The digital impressions and virtual design eliminate human errors, resulting in a crown that perfectly matches your natural teeth.

Natural Aesthetics

Our same-day crowns are made from high-quality ceramic materials that mimic the appearance of your natural teeth. The result is a beautifully blended crown that enhances your smile discreetly.

Durable and Long-Lasting

Thanks to the quality materials and precision milling process, our same-day crowns are durable and built to last. With proper care and maintenance, your crown can serve you well for many years to come.

No Temporary Crowns

Unlike traditional crowns that often require the placement of temporary crowns while you wait for the lab-fabricated one, same-day crowns eliminate the need for temporaries, providing you with immediate restoration and comfort.

Preservation of Tooth Structure

The advanced technology used in same-day crowns allows for conservative preparation of the tooth, preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible while still achieving a strong and secure fit for the crown.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do same-day crowns work?

The same-day crown process begins with a digital impression of your teeth using an intraoral scanner. This digital impression is used to design a custom crown with specialized software. The design is then sent to an in-house milling unit, which carves the crown from a ceramic block. Once the crown is ready, it is immediately placed and bonded to your prepared tooth, providing you with a fully functional and natural-looking restoration in just one appointment.

Are same-day crowns as durable as traditional crowns?

Yes, same-day crowns are made from high-quality ceramic materials that are just as durable as traditional lab-fabricated crowns. With proper care and maintenance, same-day crowns can last for many years.

How long does the same-day crown procedure take?

The same-day crown procedure typically takes about 1 to 2 hours from start to finish. Thanks to the efficiency of CAD/CAM technology, you can leave the dental office with your permanent crown the same day as your appointment.

Are same-day crowns more expensive than traditional crowns?

While same-day crowns may have a slightly higher upfront cost due to the advanced technology involved, they can actually be more cost-effective in the long run. With no need for multiple appointments and temporary crowns, same-day crowns can save you time and potential additional costs.

Can anyone get a same-day crown?

In most cases, same-day crowns are suitable for patients who need a dental crown to restore a damaged or decayed tooth. However, certain situations may require the use of traditional lab-fabricated crowns. Our skilled dentists at Tartan Dental will conduct a thorough examination to determine if you are a candidate for same-day crowns.

How long do same-day crowns last?

With proper care and regular dental checkups, same-day crowns can last for many years. Maintaining good oral hygiene practices, such as brushing, flossing, and attending routine dental appointments, will help prolong the lifespan of your crown.

Will I experience any discomfort during the same-day crown procedure?

The same-day crown procedure is minimally invasive, and any discomfort is typically minimal and temporary. Our team at Tartan Dental will ensure that you are comfortable throughout the process, and local anesthesia will be used to numb the area during crown placement.

Can I eat normally with a same-day crown?

Yes, you can eat normally with a same-day crown. Once the crown is bonded to your tooth, it becomes a permanent and strong restoration that can withstand normal chewing forces. However, it's essential to avoid biting on hard objects or using your teeth to open packages, as this could potentially damage the crown.
