If you have a busy schedule, same-day crowns give you a brand new tooth restoration in just a couple of hours.
Same-day crowns prevent complications that can occur with temporaries or multiple appointments, and give you a permanent dental solution quickly.
Our team uses a 3D scanner to craft models of your tooth. Messy impressions are now a thing of the past.
After completing a thorough exam of your oral health, your dentist will use a 3D scanner to capture images of your mouth and your teeth. The scans are converted into digital models that your dentist uses to mill your same-day crown, right in the office.
Once the crown is ready and your dentist has cleaned and prepared your tooth, the crown will be checked for fit and adjustments will be made, if necessary.
After final adjustments, your dentist will use a powerful dental cement to bond your crown into place permanently, restoring your smile and your bite.
You're at high risk for further breakage if you have damaged, decayed, or weak teeth. It's important to protect your teeth from chewing forces with another layer of protection. Dental crowns offer this layer of protection as a durable cap.
This cap can be fabricated from various materials, including porcelain, zirconia, metal, or porcelain-fused-to-metal. Tooth-colored crowns can cover up aesthetic imperfections, while strong, durable crowns can be placed in damaged or vulnerable rear molars to prevent damage and hold severely broken teeth together.
Crowns improve the aesthetics of your teeth, keep broken teeth intact, and prevent the need for extraction. Crowns also complete restorations in dental implants and anchor dental bridges. Contact us at Suncoast Dental Center today to schedule a consultation.
Caring for a dental crown doesn't have to be difficult, but it does take exercising precautions. Practice good oral hygiene to keep your tooth underneath the crown healthy. Brush twice a day and floss once a day to prevent tooth decay from forming.
You should go to your Naples dentist every six months for a cleaning, where they will also check on the condition of your crown. If you grind your teeth, you should wear a mouthguard to prevent damaging your crown.
Other sources of wear and tear include:
Avoid these habits to keep your crowns intact for many years. Avoid smoking and limit your consumption of staining foods and drinks to prevent discoloration. Dental crowns don't respond to teeth whitening treatments. The only way to correct discoloration in crowns is to replace them.
Yes! A same-day crown will cover any visible discoloration or chips on your tooth. This coverage is especially beneficial in the case of highly-visible front teeth. Your dentist will match it to the color of your other teeth so it fits in with the rest of your smile.
If you have a damaged or severely decayed tooth, or are in need of emergency care, you may need a same-day crown. You should see your dentist if you are experiencing tooth pain and discomfort, or if your teeth are visibly damaged or discolored. Depending on the cause of your dental issues, they may recommend a same-day crown or another restorative treatment.
You can treat your same-day crown just like a natural tooth. Make sure you brush twice a day for at least two minutes, ensuring you scrub the full surface of every tooth. You should floss at least once per day, preferably at night. This should only take a few minutes, but be sure to floss against the tooth and below the gum line. You should also see your dentist every six months for a check-up to make sure that your dental work and teeth are healthy.
Same-day dental crowns that are required for restorative purposes, such as severe cavities or a broken tooth, are typically covered by insurance. The exact amount of coverage you receive will depend on the deductible and yearly limits of your policy.
If you require a crown for cosmetic purposes, such as covering up a discolored tooth, the procedure may not be covered by insurance. To make sure your procedure is covered, we recommend consulting with your insurer.
A well-made and properly placed same-day crown can last up to 15 years. It’s critical to maintain good oral health habits to enhance your crown’s longevity. These practices include brushing twice per day, flossing once per day, and seeing your dentist every 6 months for a professional cleaning and exam.
Most commonly, same-day crowns are used to protect and restore teeth that have been damaged by a serious cavity, or that have been cracked or broken by dental trauma, like an accident or injury. Because same-day crowns cover up and protect your entire tooth structure, they are ideal for preventing further complications and restoring the shape, appearance, and function of damaged teeth.
Same-day crowns are also used to cover up and protect teeth after root canal treatment. In more rare cases, they may also be used for cosmetic dentistry if other treatments like veneers and dental bonding are not appropriate.
