What is a Same-Day Crown?

Dr. Marvin Berlin here, and I want to talk to you about an exciting new technology that has transformed the dental crown procedure. If you had a crown placed just a few years ago, or in many dental offices today, you probably had two appointments. At the first visit, the dentist prepared your tooth, took an impression (with a gummy material that probably made you gag), and then secured a temporary crown to your damaged tooth.

You went home and may have had trouble with that temporary crown falling out or cracking. Many times, a person has to go back to the dentist to have a temporary crown replaced. All of this occurred while a dental lab fabricated your permanent crown.

Once the lab’s restoration was received by the dental office, you had another appointment. The dentist removed your temporary and cemented the permanent crown in place. Let’s just hope it fitted, or it’s back to a temporary while the lab makes a new restoration.

Sheesh. What a process! I understand the frustration of such a lengthy procedure. So I searched high and low for an alternative that would make your life easier. Found it!

Today, at McKinney Dentist, you won’t have to endure a messy impression, and you’ll get your white, permanent, custom-made crown in one appointment. That’s right. The entire process is done in a single visit.

We use the E4D system, an innovative tool that incorporates 3D imaging with in-office milling. The CAD/CAM system allows me to precisely design, then fabricate a completely custom, shade-matched porcelain restoration in about an hour. Boom – you’re in and out without a hitch.

Give me a call today at 972.54.SMILE if you need a crown replaced, or if you’ve been told that you need a new crown. Don’t live with a toothache, either. Get in here and let me help you! I promise to make your dental experience comfortable, convenient, and rewarding. You’re going to love McKinney Dentist. That’s a promise.
