If you’ve ever been told you need a dental crown, you may be picturing multiple appointments, temporary crowns and weeks of waiting.

Fortunately, advances in dental technology have made the process much simpler than many people expect.

At Mawson Dental Care, we offer same day crowns, allowing many patients to have their crown designed, created and fitted in a single visit.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that fits over a tooth to help restore its strength, function and appearance. Crowns are commonly recommended when a tooth has been damaged, weakened, or has a large filling that may no longer provide enough support.

Because every smile is different, your dentist will assess your individual needs and discuss the most appropriate treatment options with you.

How Do Same Day Crowns Work?

Traditionally, dental crowns required at least two appointments. During the first visit, the tooth would be prepared and impressions taken before a temporary crown was fitted. Patients would then return for a second appointment once the final crown had been manufactured.

With same day crown technology, the process can often be completed in a single appointment.

Using digital scanning technology, detailed images of your tooth are captured and used to create a custom-designed crown. The crown is then carefully crafted and fitted, allowing many patients to leave with their final restoration on the same day.

Why Patients Appreciate Same Day Crowns

One of the biggest benefits of same day crowns is convenience.

For many patients, fewer appointments means less time away from work, family and other commitments.

Other potential benefits include:

  • Completing treatment in a single visit
  • No temporary crown in many cases
  • A comfortable digital scanning process
  • A custom-made restoration designed specifically for your smile
  • A streamlined treatment experience
