Quick and Convenient
Same Day CrownsA crown is a dental appliance that covers the entire surface of a tooth, right down to the gum line. Crowns are often recommended for teeth that are too badly decayed to hold a filling, fractured teeth, teeth at high risk for fracture and sometimes for teeth that have undergone a root canal. Nowadays, most crowns are made of a durable ceramic material. Until just recently, getting a new crown entailed two trips to your dentist’s office and a waiting time of 10 to 14 days while the crown was created in a dental lab. But thanks to a new dental technology called CEREC®, you can be fitted with a brand new porcelain crown in just a single trip to the dentist! Dr. Shria Dhaon is pleased to bring this new technology to her patients from throughout the Austin, TX, area.
Why You Should Choose Arbor Oaks Dental & Orthodontics for Same-Day Crowns
A crown is often an excellent way to save a tooth that might otherwise be lost. Thanks to CEREC® technology, Dr. Dhaon can actually create your new ceramic crown right here in our office, while you wait! That means no waiting for 2 weeks to have a new permanent crown made, and no need to wear a temporary crown in the interim. Same-day crowns are every bit as attractive and durable as crowns made in a dental lab, and they’re reasonably priced as well!
The Procedure Involved in Getting a Same-Day Crown
As the first step in preparing you for a new crown, Dr. Dhaon will prepare the affected tooth by removing the decay and preparing the surface of the tooth. After that, using CEREC® technology, our dentist and her staff will create your new crown right here in our dental office. This new technology simplifies the whole process not only for the patient – who is saved from the hassle of making two trips to the office and wearing a temporary crown while the new one is prepared – but also for Dr. Dhaon and her staff, who now have total control with regard to the quality of the crowns they produce.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are same-day crowns, and how do they work?
Same-day crowns are ceramic dental restorations that are designed, milled, and placed in a single visit using CEREC® technology. With this treatment, you don’t need to wait weeks or wear a temporary cap.
Why should I choose same-day crowns at Arbor Oaks Dental & Orthodontics?
At our dental office, CEREC® saves you time and hassle. Thanks to in-office milling, you can have a permanent cap placed in just one appointment and avoid the need for a temporary one.
Is the same-day crown as durable and natural-looking as a lab-made crown?
Yes, our capped teeth are made from premium ceramic material that looks very natural. Using CEREC® technology gives us full control over our design and fit, so the tooth caps are both strong and aesthetic.
How long does the procedure take?
The process begins with preparing the affected tooth (removing decay or an old restoration), then designing and milling the tooth cap in the office, and finally placing it, all in one visit, making it much faster than traditional methods.
Will I need a temporary crown?
No, because we use CEREC® technology to create your tooth cap in the office, there’s no waiting period. That means you don’t need a temporary cap between visits.
Is same-day crown treatment more expensive than traditional ones?
Arbor Oaks Dental & Orthodontics makes treatment simpler by offering flexible payment options, and since there’s no need for a temporary lab tooth cap or a second visit, it can often be cost-effective overall.
Which teeth typically need same-day crowns?
Same-day crowns are often recommended for teeth that are badly decayed, fractured, or have undergone root canal treatment. This treatment is essential for any tooth that needs full coverage for strength and protection.
Is the crown color matched to my other teeth?
Yes, the ceramic material used for same-day crowns can be color-matched to your natural teeth. This treatment ensures the restoration blends in smoothly with your smile.
Are same-day crowns a permanent solution?
Yes — our tooth caps made with CEREC® are designed to be long-lasting, just like traditional ones, because they are milled from durable ceramic and properly bonded to your tooth.
How do I care for a same-day crown after the procedure?
After your crown is placed, you treat it just like a natural tooth: maintain good brushing and flossing habits. Continue seeing our dentist at Arbor Oaks Dental & Orthodontics regularly for exams and cleanings. With these daily habits, the crown remains healthy and well-supported.
