When you have a tooth that hurts, or one that has been worn-down or suffered from damage, we want to help. With a crown, we can return the tooth to full function and beauty, and all in one visit! In today’s blog, your Shrewsbury, MA, dentist talks about same-day dental crowns.
When Teeth Benefit from Crowns
A dental crown, also known as a full restoration, caps a tooth and covers all of the structure above the gum line. Which means we can address an array of cosmetic and restorative concerns at once. For example, we can treat tooth decay too severe to be treated with a filling, or tackle damage to a tooth that bonding alone cannot repair. Placement could help improve how patients chew and boost bite balance. We could also place them to address misshapen teeth, lengthen worn down teeth, and even aid in tooth replacement by securing a bridge in place or restoring a single tooth dental implant.
The E4D Same-Day System
Instead of requiring two to three visits to complete, we can use advanced CAD/CAM technology to design, create, and place one in only a single visit. The E4D system provides same-day crowns, and this starts with our team numbing the tooth so we can comfortably remove structure from it. We then take detailed digital images and measurements of the prepared tooth, and use this to design the restoration. We upload the information into an onsite milling machine, which will craft the restoration from a solid block of ceramic. This material is very durable and can take on daily bite forces and pressures. The material can also be shaded to blend with your smile and offer a lifelike appearance.
Placing Your New Restorations
When we have completed the crown, we will check the fit and if necessary, make a few minor adjustments. We then attach the completed restoration with a powerful bonding agent. With proper care and attention, your new restoration could remain in place for years to come, offering durable repair and a lifelike appearance too. If you have a tooth that is damaged or aching, then reach out to our team for same-day placement. Now is also a great time to schedule your first checkup and cleaning visit of 2025, so you start a new year on the path to a new smile. If you have any questions about how we repair and restore smiles in only one visit, then contact our team today.
