Dental Crowns
What is a dental crown? Think of a crown as a custom-fitted, protective helmet for a severely compromised tooth. When a tooth is heavily decayed, cracked, broken down, or has just undergone a root canal, a standard filling isn't strong enough to hold it together. A crown is a durable, full-coverage restoration that completely caps the tooth all the way down to the gumline, instantly restoring its natural size, shape, strength, and appearance.
The Same-Day Advantage Traditionally, getting a crown required two separate appointments spread across two weeks, uncomfortable silicone putty impressions, and wearing a fragile, temporary plastic crown that could easily fall off. We do things differently:
- Digital Accuracy: We use a lightweight intraoral scanner to take a fast, comfortable 3D digital image of your mouth—completely bypassing the messy, goopy impression trays.
- Precision In-Office Milling: While you relax in the chair, our advanced computer-aided design (CAD/CAM) software custom-sculpts your crown to match your exact bite. Our in-office milling machine then carves your crown out of a solid block of high-grade, tooth-colored porcelain in just minutes.
- One Single Visit: We bond the permanent porcelain crown to your tooth during that very same appointment. You walk in with a damaged tooth and walk out with a permanent, rock-solid restoration—no temporary crowns and no second visits required.
