What Are Same-Day Crowns in Fort Collins?
Same-day crowns in Fort Collins are custom-made dental restorations that restore the function and appearance of a damaged or weakened tooth. Unlike traditional crowns, which can take weeks to fabricate in an offsite dental lab, same-day crowns are designed, milled, and placed all in the same appointment at our office using advanced CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) technology.
With this innovative approach, there’s no need for messy impressions, temporary crowns, or a long wait. You leave our office with a fully restored smile in just a couple of hours!
Advantages of Same-Day Crowns
Choosing same-day crowns from Allison Jung Family Dentistry comes with a host of benefits. Here are just a few reasons why this treatment may be the perfect solution for your dental needs:
- Time-Saving Convenience
We know life gets busy, and scheduling multiple dental visits can be challenging. Same-day crowns allow you to complete the entire restoration process in a single trip to our Fort Collins office, saving you valuable time.
- No Temporary Crowns
Traditional crowns require temporary restorations that can be uncomfortable and prone to falling out. With same-day crowns, there’s no need for a temporary crown—you’ll receive your permanent crown on the same day.
- Enhanced Comfort
Digital impressions taken with advanced scanning technology eliminate the need for putty molds, which are often messy and uncomfortable. The scanning process is quick, precise, and much easier for patients.
- Exceptional Quality
Same-day crowns use durable, esthetic materials—such as ceramic—that are stain-resistant and designed to blend naturally with your existing teeth, ensuring a substantial, long-lasting restoration that also looks beautiful.
- Preservation of Natural Tooth Structure
The precision of the CEREC system allows for careful crown crafting, preserving as much of your natural tooth as possible while still achieving a secure and effective fit.
The Same-Day Crown Process
Getting a same-day crown at Allison Jung Family Dentistry is a straightforward and streamlined process. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:
- Assessment and Digital Impressions
Your dentist will evaluate the damaged or decayed tooth and determine if a crown is the right solution for restoring it. Then, we’ll use advanced 3D scanning technology to capture precise digital impressions of your tooth and surrounding area.
- Design and Milling
Using the digital impressions as a guide, we’ll design your custom crown on a computer using specialized software, which guarantees accuracy and a seamless fit. Once the design is complete, we send the information to our in-office milling unit, which fabricates your crown from high-quality ceramic material in just minutes.
- Placement and Bonding
Once we mill the crown, your dentist will make any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit. The crown is then securely bonded to your natural tooth, completing the restoration. You’ll leave our office with a fully functional and attractive tooth—all in one visit!
