When a tooth is damaged or decayed, a dental crown is often used to restore its function and appearance. Why wait to restore your smile when Southeastern Dental Center offers quality, same-day crowns to our patients in Hamilton and Columbus, GA?
Enjoy the convenient and effective solution of dental crowns in a day and your smile will be restored by the end of the visit!
What Are Same-Day Dental Crowns?
Also known as one-day crowns, same-day crowns offer a quick and effective solution for decayed, broken, or cracked teeth. Unlike traditional ceramic or porcelain crowns which often require multiple visits, these dental restorations are designed and placed in a single appointment. Using our in-office dental lab and advanced technology, we can create your custom crown right here in our dental practice —meaning you can walk in with a dental issue and walk out with a restored, natural-looking smile, all on the same day.
What you should know before getting a same-day crown:
- While same-day crowns deliver a natural, beautiful result, it’s essential to have realistic expectations. This type of dental restoration is not intended to be an exact match for your existing teeth.
- Not everyone is a good candidate for this option. The best way to find out if a same-day crown is a good solution for you is to schedule a consultation with our office so we can assess your situation.
The Benefits of Same-Day Dental Crowns
For many patients, same-day dental crowns offer a convenient, comfortable solution compared to traditional crowns.
Skip the Temporary Crowns
With traditional dental crowns, a temporary crown would be placed over the damaged tooth while you wait for your permanent crown to be created. Same-day crowns simplify this process because your final restoration is placed on the same day.
Reduce Your Treatment Time
For busy schedules or urgent needs, same-day dental crowns are the ideal solution. You’ll avoid multiple appointments and get the treatment you need with a high-quality, custom-fitted crown in a single visit—perfect for those with dental emergencies or limited time.
Enhanced Comfort and Convenience
Traditional crowns often involve more extensive preparation for the damaged tooth, which can cause discomfort and sensitivity. Same-day dental crowns require minimal prep, ensuring a more comfortable experience throughout your visit.
Who is an Ideal Candidate for Same-Day Crowns?
Most patients needing a dental crown can benefit from the convenience of same-day crowns. This advanced option is perfect for those with both cosmetic and functional concerns, including:
- Broken teeth
- Tooth decay
- Chips and cracks
- Excessive wear
During your consultation, we’ll carefully examine the compromised tooth (or teeth) and discuss your treatment options. If same-day crowns are right for you, we can begin the process immediately.
When determining if you’re a good candidate for same-day crowns, we’ll assess the health of your tooth root and the condition of the remaining tooth structure to see if they’ve been affected by decay or damage.
Who is Not a Good Candidate for Same-Day Crowns?
For some patients, a traditional crown or other restorative treatment may be a better fit than a same-day crown. If that’s the case, we’ll recommend another procedure that best suits your dental needs. Here are some situations where an alternative option may be suggested:
- Damage Extends Below the Gum Line: If the damage is extensive or below the gum line, a traditional crown may be recommended to fully cover and protect the tooth.
- Missing Teeth: For patients with one or more missing teeth, dental implants may be a more effective, lasting solution than a crown alone.
- Front Teeth with High Visibility: If the damaged tooth is located toward the front of the mouth, a lab-created dental crown may offer a better color match for a flawless, natural smile.
- Teeth Grinding (Bruxism): For patients who grind their teeth, a more durable material such as a gold alloy may be recommended instead.
