What Are The Advantages Of Same-Day Dental Crowns?
How Same-Day Crowns Work?
With recent advancements in dental technology, patients do not have to wait for a lab to create a crown, can now be done in our Palatine dental office. Our dentist can now create a crown on-site using computer-aided design and manufacturing (abbreviated CAD/CAM).
During the same-day crown procedure, the dentist uses state-of-the-art technology to examine the affected tooth and then create and build a permanent porcelain crown in an appropriate size and shape. The crown milling process happens on-site and takes only a few minutes instead of the weeks required by an off-site dental lab. Once the lab completes the crown, the dentist then fits and applies the crown directly onto the tooth using dental adhesive. For numerous patients, the whole procedure gets concluded in an hour and a half.
Same-day crowns can be also called CAD/CAM crowns or CEREC crowns. These names refer to the technology that makes the same-day on-site crown procedure achievable.
