Traditional crowns involve multiple appointments, with the most common being two different sessions. First, an impression of the damaged tooth is taken, and then a temporary crown is placed while the permanent crown is fabricated in a dental lab. If the lab is not near your dental office, this process can take weeks and even months.

Same-day crowns, created with CEREC technology, revolutionize this process. CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. Here’s how the team at AJ Family Dentistry of Fort Collins, CO, makes it work:

• Digital Impressions: Ditch the messy impression trays! We use a digital scanner to capture a precise 3D image of your tooth and surrounding structures.
• Virtual Design: Our experienced dentist uses specialized software to design your custom crown virtually, ensuring the perfect fit and appearance you deserve.
• In-House Milling: Our milling unit then takes the digital impressions and renderings of the crown, precisely carving your crown from a high-quality ceramic block in our office.
• Same-Day Placement: Your permanent crown is ready for placement within a single appointment, eliminating the need for a temporary crown and a follow-up visit. This also speeds up the healing process after treatment.

Why Should I Choose Same-Day Crowns?

Although the choice is ultimately up to you, we are with you every step of the way. Custom-made crowns delivered on the same day and milled in our office are the best quality crowns you can get since there is no communication barrier between us and a dental lab.

We use high-quality ceramic materials that provide long-lasting results and a snug fit over your teeth. Crowns are strong enough to withstand everyday wear and tear, so you don’t have to change your lifestyle when you are fitted with our same-day in-office crowns.

Smile With Confidence with your Quality Dental Care Team

Preserving as much of your original teeth as possible is our goal. Although we have made leaps and strides in every field of dentistry, we believe that there is no substitute for the original thing. Crowns help to reinforce the remainder of your tooth and keep it compact and clean so that it doesn’t get further damaged or infected.

During your next appointment with the qualified team at AJ Family Dentistry of Fort Collins, CO, you can be sure you are getting the best possible care and guidance that you and your family can rely on.
