Single Visit Crowns

Traditionally, getting a crown required multiple visits, but with single visit crowns, you receive high-quality care in one appointment. Same-day crowns offer a quick solution for restoring compromised teeth, protecting them after fractures, severe decay, and root canals. They are also used in dental implants, bridges, or other restorations.

What are Single Visit Crowns?

A crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged or decayed tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Getting a crown used to take multiple visits because the process involved taking molds, getting a temporary crown, and waiting for the permanent crown to be made in an off-site lab.

However, with advancements in dental technology, we now offer single visit crowns, which are designed, created, and placed in just one appointment. Therefore, they provide a faster and more comfortable experience for our patients.

How are Single Visit Crowns Made?

Single visit crowns are crafted using CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology. During your appointment, our dentists will take a digital impression of your tooth, which is then used to design your custom crown.

The design is sent to our in-office milling machine that precisely carves your crown from a block of high-quality ceramic. After a few minutes, we fit and bond the crown to your tooth, all within a single visit.

Are Single Visit Crowns as Durable as Traditional Crowns?

Single visit crowns are made from strong, durable ceramic materials that are comparable to traditional crowns. They are designed to withstand daily wear and tear, ensuring your restored tooth remains healthy and functional for years to come.

Benefits of Single Visit Crowns

Choosing single visit crowns offers numerous benefits, including:

  • Convenience: Complete the entire crown process in one visit.
  • No Temporary Crowns: Avoid the inconvenience of temporary restorations.
  • Time-Saving: Fewer appointments mean less time away from your daily activities.
  • Accuracy: Digital impressions provide a precise fit for your crown.
  • Comfort: Enjoy a streamlined, comfortable procedure from start to finish.
