Same-Day Crowns vs. Traditional Crowns
Getting a crown used to require several trips to the dentist, but that’s no longer the case with same-day crowns.
At Millennium Smiles, we recognize your time is valuable. Dr. Dunia Korous utilizes advanced CEREC technology to offer patients the convenience of same-day dentistry at her Frisco, Texas office.
How do same-day crowns work?
Your visit will begin with digital impression of your mouth that will be used to design and create a custom fit and color-matched crown.
Our in-house CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) equipment will fabricate your dental crown while you wait. Dr. Korous will carefully remove a minimal amount of your tooth structure for attaching the crown and then permanently secure your restoration.
What are the differences between same-day and traditional crowns?
Traditional Crowns
- Require multiple trips to the dentist
- Impressions are sent off to a dental lab where the crown is made
- Temporary crown needed while the permanent crown is made
Same-Day Crowns
- Only require one visit to our office
- Crown is made at the dentist office
- Eliminates need for temporary crown
What are the benefits of same-day crowns?
Same-day crowns save you time and could save you money. Since they don’t require a temporary crown or being sent off to a lab, they can be cheaper than traditional crowns. Most insurance companies cover both same-day and traditional crowns.
Another advantage of our superior technology is that same-day crowns are a more comfortable procedure. Same-day crowns utilize digital technology to make an impression of your mouth instead of the uncomfortable and terrible-tasting traditional putty impressions.
Same-day crowns made with CEREC technology are as strong, efficient, and beautiful as a lab-created crown. For more information about your dental options, call Millennium Smile’s Frisco dental office today at 972-987-4899.
