August 22, 2024Pros and Cons of Veneers: Are They the Right Choice for You?
October 22, 2024Finding time for multiple dental appointments can be challenging in today’s busy world. Thankfully, with advancements in dental technology, the need for multiple visits to get a crown is a thing of the past. Same-day dental crowns offer a convenient solution for patients looking to restore their smile quickly without sacrificing quality. At Regehr Family Dental, we use state-of-the-art technology like the FastMill.io in-office milling machine to provide crowns in just a single visit.
What Are Same-Day Dental Crowns?
A same-day dental crown is a permanent crown that is custom-made and fitted in just one appointment, rather than the traditional process that often requires multiple visits to the dental office. With CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology, the process is streamlined to save you time while delivering high-quality results. This technology allows our team to design, create, and place a crown that fits perfectly in a matter of hours.
How Does the Technology Work?
At Regehr Family Dental, we take incredibly accurate digital impressions, then use the FastMill.io milling machine to create same-day crowns in our office. Here’s how the process works:
- Digital Impressions: The process begins with a 3D scan of your natural tooth. This eliminates the messy traditional process with molds and ensures precise measurements.
- Designing the Crown: Using CAD/CAM technology, the scan is then transferred to the system, where the crown is elegantly designed to match the shape and size of your tooth, ensuring it fits perfectly.
- Milling the Crown: Once the design is complete, the milling machine takes over. The FastMill.io crafts your crown from a high-quality ceramic block, creating a durable, natural-looking dental crown in just a few minutes.
- Placement: After the crown is created, it’s placed and bonded to your tooth in the same appointment. You leave with a permanent crown, avoiding the need for a temporary crown.
Benefits of Same-Day Crowns
- Convenience for a Busy Schedule: With same-day dental crowns, there’s no need for multiple appointments or waiting weeks for a crown to be made at an off-site dental laboratory. This is truly beneficial for those with busy schedules, as the entire procedure is completed in a single visit.
- Comfort and Fit: Since same-day crowns are custom-made using advanced technology, they offer an excellent fit and feel just like your natural tooth. The digital precision ensures the crown fits perfectly, providing both comfort and functionality.
- Durability and Aesthetics: We use high-quality materials that closely mimic the appearance of your natural teeth. These permanent crowns are designed to last and blend seamlessly with your existing teeth.
- No Temporary Crowns: With traditional crown procedures, you would typically need to wear a temporary crown for a few weeks while the final crown is created in a dental laboratory. With same-day crowns, you avoid the hassle of temporary crowns and get the final product immediately.
