Get Fast Results With Same Day Dental Crowns

Root Canals 2 | Dores Dental - East Longmeadow, MA

We often take our teeth for granted. We think they’re always going to be there to help us chew our food and to let us flash our smiles.

The fact is, teeth aren’t invincible. One day you could bite on a piece of ice and chip your tooth. If the tooth is in front and obvious, you’ll be embarrassed to open your mouth.

What if you chip your tooth the day before your wedding or right before a week of important job interviews?

In some cases, a dentist can put a dental crown in your mouth to fix the broken tooth. A dental crown is a restoration that’s used to rebuild a tooth that is so damaged that it can no longer support a filling or inlay.

A dental crown covers the entire tooth and brings back function and appearance. The problem is a dental crown placed the traditional way can take a while.

Here’s what usually happens when you have a dental crown placed in your mouth and why it takes so long:

  • A dentist will take impressions (or molds) or your teeth. The material used in the molds is gunky and it makes some people gag.
  • He’ll send that impression off to a lab to be made, which could take anywhere from days to weeks to finish.
  • In the meantime, he will fit your mouth with a temporary crown. This is done to keep your teeth stable and from drifting until your permanent crown is ready.

Temporary crowns can come off and you’ll have to go back to the dentist to have it recemented.

Dores Dental in Longmeadow, MA, can put a permanent crown on your tooth within two hours because we offer Same Day Dental Crowns. Here’s why this service is so special:

The Advantages Of Same Day Dental Crowns

The advantages of same day dental crowns is their convenience. This is how the dental crown process works at Dores Dental. Dr. Dores will:

  1. Clean the area where the crown will go. He’ll remove decay and reshape the tooth.
  2. Take 3D pictures with a tiny scanner. This replaces his having to make dental impressions.
  3. Forward the scanned pictures to the CEREC computer. The CEREC (Chairside Economical Restorations of Esthetic Ceramic) system features computer-aided design that will “read” the instructions and then a milling machine that will carve the crown out of a block of ceramic.

In just a few minutes, the crown is ready to be placed, fitted and adjusted. No temporary crowns and no waiting! You might walk in with a chipped or damaged tooth, but you’ll walk out with a crown that restores the beauty to your smile.
