Improve Your Smile With Same-Day Crowns at Taylor Made Smiles
A damaged or decayed tooth can impact not only your oral health but also your confidence. Traditional dental crowns have long been a solution, but the process can take multiple appointments and require a temporary crown while you wait. Thankfully, advancements in dental technology now allow for same-day crowns, a convenient and efficient solution that restores your smile in just one visit.
At Taylor Made Smiles in Monroe, GA, we are proud to offer same-day crowns. This means no messy impressions, no waiting weeks for a permanent crown, and no return trips for placement. Keep reading to learn how same-day crowns work, their benefits, and why Taylor Made Smiles is the right choice for your dental care.
What Are Same-Day Crowns?
Same-day crowns are custom-designed dental restorations created and placed in a single appointment. Unlike traditional crowns that require multiple visits, a same-day crown is fabricated using advanced CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) technology. This system uses digital impressions and an in-office milling machine to craft a high-quality ceramic crown that perfectly fits your tooth.
How the Same-Day Crown Process Works
- Digital Imaging: Instead of messy traditional impressions, a digital scanner captures a precise 3D image of your tooth.
- Crown Design: Using CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software, the dentist designs your custom crown to match the shape and color of your natural teeth.
- Milling Process: The design is sent to an in-office milling machine, which carves your new crown from a high-quality ceramic block.
- Placement: Once the crown is ready, your dentist will ensure a perfect fit before bonding it permanently to your tooth.
This entire process takes just a few hours, allowing you to leave the office with a fully restored smile the same day.
Same-Day Crowns vs. Traditional Crowns: What’s the Difference?
| Feature | Same-Day Crowns | Traditional Crowns |
|---|---|---|
| Time | Completed in one visit | Requires two or more visits |
| Temporary Crown? | No | Yes |
| Materials Used | High-quality ceramic | Metal, porcelain, or ceramic |
| Impression Type | Digital 3D scan | Physical molds |
| Convenience | Immediate restoration | Multiple appointments required |
While traditional crowns have been effective for years, same-day crowns offer a faster, more comfortable alternative with equally durable results.
The Top Benefits of Same-Day Crowns at Taylor Made Smiles
1. Saves You Time
For busy professionals, parents, or anyone with a hectic schedule, same-day crowns eliminate the need for multiple dental visits. With traditional crowns, you have to wait weeks for a permanent restoration, but with same-day crowns, you can restore your smile in just a few hours.
2. No Need for Temporary Crowns
Temporary crowns can feel uncomfortable, often shifting or breaking before your permanent crown is ready. With same-day crowns, you skip the temporary phase altogether and get a permanent, durable crown on the same day.
3. Natural-Looking and Custom-Fit
Taylor Made Smiles uses state-of-the-art CAD/CAM technology to craft crowns that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. The ceramic material mimics the color, texture, and strength of a real tooth, ensuring a beautiful and natural-looking result.
4. Strong and Long-Lasting
Our same-day crowns are made from high-quality ceramic, known for its durability and resistance to wear. With proper care, they can last 10–15 years or more, similar to traditional crowns.
5. More Comfortable Experience
Since same-day crowns use digital impressions, there’s no need for gooey, uncomfortable molds that often cause gagging. The precision of digital scanning also ensures a better fit and more comfortable bite.
6. Protects Your Natural Tooth Structure
The minimally invasive nature of same-day crown placement means less drilling and preservation of more of your healthy tooth structure.
Who Can Benefit From Same-Day Crowns?
If you have a damaged, decayed, or weakened tooth, same-day crowns may be the ideal solution for you.
Ideal Candidates for Same-Day Crowns:
- Patients with cracked, chipped, or broken teeth.
- Individuals needing a replacement for an old or worn-out crown.
- People experiencing severe tooth decay that requires full coverage.
- Those seeking a quick and efficient dental restoration option.
