Dental crowns are a common restorative treatment that can make a huge difference on your smile. From cracked or chipped teeth, to heavily stained or missing teeth, dental crowns can literally cover it all. But there’s always been one big drawback to getting crowns: the wait.
Traditionally, a dental crown is created in a lab, after the dentist takes note of the size, shape, and color that is needed to match your smile. This process used to take about two to three weeks. Now, we offer a one visit crowns treatment at Dental Care of Plano.
How Can a Custom Crown Be Created in One Visit?
The reason that crowns took so long in the past was that they were being custom made to fit your smile perfectly. The technology that we have today allows us to create this custom material in our office right away. We use a machine to take images of your teeth, which then accurately creates a crown during the appointment. The dentist can make adjustments to the crown before it is made, and review everything first.
Is a One Visit Crown Strong and Long-Lasting?
Some dental patients worry that a crown that is created so quickly won’t be as high-quality as a traditional crown. In our experience, one visit crowns are no different from traditional crowns. Dental crowns can last as long as 20 years with the right care. With this process, you simply get your crown faster, and avoid wearing an uncomfortable temporary crown for the two to three weeks it takes to manufacture.
If you have been holding back on getting a crown because of the wait, contact us today about one visit crowns! Here at Dental Care of Plano, we can help you walk out the door with your brand new smile in just a single visit.
