If you are in need of a new dental crown, you may be anticipating a lengthy process. Traditional dental crowns typically require at least two weeks as they are custom-made in a dental laboratory. During this time, a temporary crown is placed to protect the prepared tooth.
However, with a one-visit dental crown, you can leave our practice with your new crown in place. This eliminates the need for a second visit and the inconvenience of wearing a temporary crown. At Eco Dental, we offer one-visit dental crowns for a more efficient and convenient treatment option.
How Do One-Visit Crowns Work?
The process for a one-visit dental crown is similar to that of a traditional crown. Our dentist will prepare your tooth using local anesthetic to ensure your comfort. Instead of taking a dental impression, a small camera is used to scan your tooth. This information is then sent to a computer, where our dentist can custom-design your new crown.
Next, a pre-shaded block of porcelain is selected and milled on-site. The crown is then hand-finished and glazed for a precise and beautiful result. These crowns provide excellent protection for your tooth by sealing out bacteria and saliva and are durable and long-lasting.
Advantages of One-Visit Dental Crown Treatment
One-visit dental crowns offer many benefits, especially if you have a special event coming up or are planning to travel. You won’t have to worry about wearing a temporary crown, which may not look as natural as the final crown. Additionally, there is no need for a dental impression, which can be uncomfortable for some patients.
Is a One-Visit Dental Crown Always the Best Option?
While one-visit dental crowns are a great solution for many situations, there are some cases where a traditional crown may be recommended. For example, if you require multiple restorations for a complete smile makeover, it may be better to have them handcrafted in a dental laboratory by an experienced technician. This ensures a more natural and personalized result.
In conclusion, a one-visit dental crown can be a convenient and efficient option for those in need of a new crown. At Eco Dental, we offer this advanced treatment to provide our patients with the best possible care. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and learn more about our one-visit dental crowns.
