The Same-Day Crown Process
At Boardwalk Family Dental, we make getting a same-day crown as smooth and efficient as possible. Here’s a step-by-step guide to what you can expect during your visit:
Step 1: Initial Consultation and Examination
When you arrive, the dentist will evaluate your tooth and discuss your needs. Using advanced diagnostic tools like digital X-rays and the CBCT scanner, the dentist will examine the structure of your tooth and the surrounding bone to determine if a crown is the right solution. We ensure you feel comfortable by offering blankets, pillows, and even massage chairs to help you relax.
Step 2: Digital Impressions
The dentist will then take digital impressions of your tooth using an iTero digital scanner. This technology replaces the need for messy molds and gives a precise, 3D image of your tooth and surrounding area. You’ll remain comfortable during this step as you can relax in the treatment chair with TVs and streaming services.
Step 3: Crown Design
Next, the dentist will design your crown with CAD/CAM technology. The computer-aided design software will help the dentist create a customized, precise design that matches your natural tooth’s shape, size, and color. The crown design will be tailored to fit your tooth comfortably, restoring both function and aesthetics. You can continue enjoying the massage chairs or request nitrous oxide if you want extra relaxation.
Step 4: In-House Crown Fabrication
Once the design is complete, the CEREC milling unit will use a ceramic block to create your custom crown in our office. You can rest easy while the crown is made, knowing you’ll receive a permanent, durable restoration in the same visit. This process usually takes about an hour, giving you time to unwind with free Wi-Fi, water, or even chapstick for added comfort.
Step 5: Crown Placement
Once the crown is ready, the dentist will ensure it fits perfectly by making final adjustments. The team will place the crown on your tooth, checking for proper alignment, bite, and comfort. The high-quality ceramic material will blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, giving you a beautifully restored smile.
Step 6: Final Check and Instructions
The dentist will provide instructions for proper care and maintenance of your new crown, ensuring its longevity. Our team will also ensure you’re completely comfortable with your crown before leaving. You can ask questions about your care routine or any follow-up appointments if needed.
Step 7: Enjoy Your New Smile
With your crown placed and your smile restored, you can enjoy the functional benefits immediately. No more waiting for multiple appointments or dealing with temporary crowns. You can eat, speak, and smile confidently, knowing that your crown is built to last.
