A damaged or decayed tooth can impact not only your oral health but also your confidence. Traditional dental crowns have long been a solution, but the process can take multiple appointments and require a temporary crown while you wait. Thankfully, advancements in dental technology now allow for same-day crowns, a convenient and efficient solution that restores your smile in just one visit. At Taylor Made Smiles in Monroe, GA, we are proud to offer same-day crowns . This means no messy impressions, no waiting weeks for a permanent crown, and no return trips for placement. Keep reading to learn how same-day crowns work, their benefits, and why Taylor Made Smiles is the right choice for your dental care. What Are Same-Day Crowns? Same-day crowns are custom-designed dental restorations created and placed in a single appointment. Unlike traditional crowns that require multiple visits, a same-day crown is fabricated using advanced CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) technology. This system uses digital impressions and an in-office milling machine to craft a high-quality ceramic crown that perfectly fits your tooth. How the Same-Day Crown Process Works Digital Imaging: Instead of messy traditional impressions, a digital scanner captures a precise 3D image of your tooth. Crown Design: Using CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software, the dentist designs your custom crown to match the shape and color of your natural teeth. Milling Process: The design is sent to an in-office milling machine, which carves your new crown from a high-quality ceramic block. Placement: Once the crown is ready, your dentist will ensure a perfect fit before bonding it permanently to your tooth. This entire process takes just a few hours, allowing you to leave the office with a fully restored smile the same day. Same-Day Crowns vs. Traditional Crowns: What’s the Difference?
