Same Day Dental Crowns

Restora Dental Arts provides patients added convenience and comfort by offering the ultimate one-and-done restorative treatment, placing crowns in one visit using advanced CAD/CAM technology. As with traditional crowns, we prepare the affected tooth by shaving off or reducing its size slightly to accommodate the crown.

The Restora Dental Arts office is equipped with a 3D scanner, so we can also make digital molds rather than using the goopy, messy, and typically uncomfortable way of making dental impressions. And as if that weren’t enough, with the use of CAD/CAM technology, we’re able to mill your permanent crown onsite. That’s right, no multiple appointments, no goop, and no temporary crowns to deal with.

Dental Crowns Q & A

What are crowns?

Dental crowns cover or “cap” damaged teeth or dental implants to restore beauty and function to your smile. Our team may recommend dental crowns for a variety of reasons, such as to:

Restore a dental implant
Shield a weak tooth from fracturing
Cover a fractured tooth
Conceal a discolored tooth
Conceal a misshapen tooth
Protect a tooth after a root canal

We might also recommend a crown to replace a large filling if there isn’t enough tooth left to support the filling.

What are crowns made of?

At Restora Dental Arts, we can make your crowns out of:

Ceramic Materials

All-ceramic crowns are made from a porcelain material. They’re easy to match to the color of your existing teeth, so they’re an excellent option for front teeth.

Metal

Gold crowns are very durable, resistant to wear, and while gentle on nearby teeth. Because they can’t match natural tooth color, the practice prefers to reserve gold crowns for back teeth where people won’t see them.

How do you create all ceramic crowns?

How we create your crown depends on the nature of the space it’s covering. If your crown goes over an existing tooth, our doctors begin by numbing the area around your tooth, then reduces the tooth, and creates space for the new crown.

Once your tooth is prepared, the practice uses CAD Cam and laser technology to scan the area and design your crown. Using in-office laboratory technology, the practice usually makes your crown and places it on the same day. Occasionally, we will send your scan to an outside laboratory to create your crown out of a different material.

Dental Implant Crowns

Our doctors begin by taking an impression or scanning your implant and implant abutment. The implant abutment is the “connector” that allows our team to create a beautiful crown over your dental implant. Following this appointment, the team replaces the healing cap placed. Your implant crown is usually delivered in a separate appointment.
