Same-Day Crowns
Jones Dental offers same-day crowns in Villa Grove, IL. If you or a family member need dental crown services, contact us for convenient, fast service. In the past, a patient would have to wait several weeks for a dental crown to be manufactured in a dental lab and then sent back to the dentist’s office. But you can get same-day service for dental crowns at Jones Dental.
What Are Same-Day Crowns?
Same-day crowns are a restorative dental procedure to help save your permanent teeth. They’re considered to be an effective alternative to the dental crowns that have been used for decades. This new alternative uses the latest technology to create a dental crown that can be worn out of the dentist’s office on the same day as your appointment.
The Process of Same-Day Crowns
The technology involved with same-day dental crowns covers all the steps, including taking the dental impression, designing, and fabricating. This helps to ensure a perfect or near-perfect fit that is more precise than the older styles of dental crowns.
The process starts with a comprehensive dental exam, during which the dentist determines what’s needed for your same-day dental crown. Next, the dentist prepares the tooth to accept the crown, removing any dental decay and disinfecting the area.
The dentist will then take digital impressions of the tooth with an intraoral scanner. This creates a high-resolution 3D image. The dentist uses this digital image to design the same-day dental crown on the computer using proprietary same-day dental crown software. The software allows the dentist to adjust the crown for an optimal fit and aesthetic match with the other teeth.
After the dentist finishes the design process, the digital design is sent to a special unit that fabricates the dental crown using ceramic material. The milling process takes about 20 minutes or less.
Finally, it’s time to try on the new crown. After the dentist ensures that the fit is good and makes any necessary final adjustments, it’s permanently affixed to your tooth. You leave the office with a brand-new crown on the same day of your dental visit.
