Obtaining restorations such as dental crowns is a somewhat routine procedure performed by Dr. Enrique Darancou of El Paso Modern Dentistry. El Paso, TX area patients who need crowns will find that at most dental facilities, the process can take several appointments to complete from start to finish. However, at our practice, patients can enjoy one visit dentistry with same day dental crowns.
What are same-day crowns?
Dentists in the community who offer same-day crowns are excited to eliminate added time and energy to a patient’s already busy schedule. In a traditional dental office, the process of preparing, creating, and placing a dental crown is extensive. It requires more than one appointment and the placing of a temporary restoration. However, with same-day dental crowns at El Paso Modern Dentistry, patients can have the entire process completed in one visit. The dentist prepares the tooth for the crown by removing enamel from around the tooth structure. Then, impressions are done using digital technology to avoid the use of messy molds. These digital impressions are then sent to the CAD/CAM milling software and machine to create a precision restoration that fits perfectly over the natural tooth. The entire process can take less than an hour, and the patient will have a permanent restoration completed within this time.
Why choose same-day crowns?
It is obvious why patients love one visit dentistry at El Paso Modern Dentistry. Instead of making separate appointments and waiting for a laboratory-created restoration, they can have the entire process from start to finish completed while they are in the dental chair. The crowns made in this manner are just as strong and durable as those made in a laboratory.
Revolutionize Your Smile: 5 Essential FAQs About Same-Day Crowns
At El Paso Modern Dentistry, we’re thrilled to offer same-day crowns as a convenient and efficient solution for restoring your smile. If you’re considering this innovative option, you probably have questions about the process, benefits, and what to expect. Here, Dr. Enrique Darancou answers the top five frequently asked questions about same-day crowns to help you make an informed decision.
Q. What Are Same-Day Crowns and How Do They Work?
Same-day crowns, or CEREC crowns, are a modern dental restoration designed to replace damaged or decayed teeth in just one visit. The process involves the following steps:
- Digital Impressions: Instead of traditional molds, digital impressions are taken using a sophisticated 3D scanner, which provides precise measurements of your tooth.
- Design and Fabrication: Using CAD/CAM technology, the digital data is used to create a custom crown design. This design is then sent to an in-office milling machine, which fabricates the crown from a single block of ceramic material.
- Placement: Once the crown is ready, your dentist will fit and adjust it to ensure it matches your bite and aesthetics before permanently cementing it.
Q. What Are the Benefits of Choosing Same-Day Crowns?
Same-day crowns offer several advantages, including:
- Speed: The entire process, from initial examination to crown placement, is completed in one appointment, saving you time compared to traditional crowns, which require multiple visits.
- Convenience: Eliminates the need for temporary crowns and multiple appointments, streamlining your dental care.
- Precision: Digital impressions and CAD/CAM technology ensure a highly accurate fit and natural appearance.
- Durability: Same-day crowns are made from high-quality ceramic materials that are both strong and aesthetically pleasing.
Q. How Long Does the Procedure Take?
The procedure for same-day crowns typically takes about 1-2 hours. This includes time for taking digital impressions, designing the crown, milling it, and making any necessary adjustments. The duration may vary based on the complexity of your case and restoration needs.
Q. Are Same-Day Crowns as Effective as Traditional Crowns?
Yes, same-day crowns are just as effective as traditional crowns. They are made from durable materials that provide strength and functionality comparable to conventional crowns. Additionally, the precision of digital impressions and CAD/CAM technology often result in a better fit and more natural appearance. Nevertheless, the success of any crown relies on proper care and maintenance.
Q. What Can I Expect After Getting a Same-Day Crown?
After getting a same-day crown, you may experience some minor discomfort or sensitivity in the treated area, but this is typically short-lived. It’s essential to:
- Follow Care Instructions: Adhere to any post-procedure care guidelines Dr. Darancou provides.
- Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: Continue to brush and floss regularly to keep your crown and surrounding teeth healthy.
- Avoid Hard Foods: For the first few days, avoid very hard or sticky foods to prevent any potential damage to your new crown.
