What is a Same Day Crown? 

A dental crown is a restoration dentistry service that Dr. Bockrath may recommend when a tooth is moderately-to-severely damaged. These restorations are designed to restore your smile to optimum health, function, and decay. With CEREC same-day dental crowns, you can receive your customized, natural-looking restoration in just one visit. 

Crowns are very versatile restorations and can be used for a number of restorative and cosmetic purposes. Dr. Chris Bockrath may suggest a dental crown in Broomfield, Colorado, in order to help a number of different purposes. For example, a crown can:

  • Cover a tooth that has staining
  • Attach and anchor a dental bridge
  • Restore a significantly damaged or decayed tooth
  • Cover and complete a dental implant
  • Improve the appearance and functionality of an irregularly shaped tooth
  • Support a large filling if little natural tooth structure remains
  • Strengthen a fractured or otherwise weakened tooth

The Procedure

The process of creating a same day crown is similar to how a 3-D printer works. Healthline explains that the dentist will:

  1. Take digital pictures of the tooth that needs the crown.
  2. Create a model using CAD/CAM technology to take those digital images and create a digital model of your tooth.
  3. Send the digital model to a machine that will take it and create a 3-D tooth out of ceramic. This process takes an average of 15 minutes. 
  4. Polish the new crown and put it in place inside the mouth. 

Benefits of Same Day Crowns

What can this restorative service do for you? The advantages of same day crowns include the timeliness, appearance, and strength. Here is who you need to know:

Timeliness

Rather than have to wait weeks for your next crown, at Mountain Aire Dentistry you can walk in and leave with your new crown on the same day. Dr. Bockrath will use a computer design and manufacturing program to capture digital images of your tooth and jaw, design the crown, and create that crown for installation — all in our Broomfield office!

Appearance

No one will even be able to notice that your tooth has a crown. Since it lacks a metal core, these types of crowns often look more natural and closely resemble the surrounding teeth in your mouth. The appearance of the crown benefits from not having a dark core to interrupt the reflection of light. 

Strength 

Research shows that you can get a reliable restoration of your tooth with a same day crown. These types of crowns are sturdy and can resist abrasion, making them more likely to last for longer periods of time. This means you will not have to come back to the dentist often for a crown repair.

The Difference With Traditional Crowns 

Unlike same day crowns, traditional dental crowns take a few weeks to complete and can’t be done in just one appointment. During the first visit for a traditional crown, the tooth that needs the crown will be examined. From there, the tooth will be filed down across the top and sides to make room for the crown. After reshaping the tooth, an impression of the tooth will be made to make sure the crown will properly fit your bite. After the impression is complete, it will be sent to a dental laboratory to make. The lab will make the crown and get it back to the dentist in two to three weeks time. At your second visit, the crown will be put on your tooth.
