The Advantages Of Same-Day Crowns
Same-day crowns offer a level of convenience and precision that traditional methods simply can’t match. These crowns are ideal for patients who want quick, effective treatment without sacrificing quality. Because everything—from the scan to the final crown—is done in-office, you skip the hassle of temporary crowns and lab delays.
- One-visit efficiency: Save time by completing your crown in a single appointment.
- No temporary crown hassles: Avoid irritation, slipping, or additional adjustments.
- Digital design precision: Advanced scanning delivers a highly customized fit.
- Seamless appearance: Biocompatible crowns blend naturally with surrounding teeth.
How The Planmeca Scanner With E4D Technology Creates A Crown In One Visit
At Murry & Kuhn Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, we use the latest in dental technology to offer efficient, high-quality restorations. The process starts with our Planmeca intraoral scanner, which captures detailed 3D images of your teeth—no more messy impressions or uncomfortable molds. These digital images are then sent to our E4D CAD/CAM system, which uses computer-aided design to plan your crown and mill it from durable material right in our office.
- No messy impressions: Digital scans replace traditional putty molds.
- High-resolution accuracy: 3D imaging captures your tooth’s exact shape.
- On-site crown design: Your crown is digitally planned while you relax.
- Same-day milling and placement: Your crown is made and placed in one appointment.
Strong & Durable Crowns In Just Hours
Despite the speed of same-day crowns, there’s no compromise on quality. At Murry & Kuhn Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, each crown is made from durable, biocompatible ceramic material. These restorations are not only strong enough to handle the daily demands of chewing and speaking, but they’re also shaped and shaded to look just like your natural teeth.
- High-strength materials: Tough enough to handle daily chewing, speaking, and smiling.
- Natural bite function: Restores comfort and function so you can eat with ease.
- Custom contouring: Carefully shaped to match the size and curve of your natural tooth.
- Stain resistance: Helps maintain a bright, clean appearance with minimal upkeep.
Same-Day Crowns Vs. Traditional Crowns
Traditional crowns require at least two visits—one for tooth preparation and impressions, and another for final placement after the lab finishes fabricating the crown. This process can take weeks and often involves wearing a temporary crown, which may loosen or break. With same-day crowns at Murry & Kuhn Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, your restoration is designed, created, and secured in a single visit.
- Same-day crowns: Your custom crown is designed, crafted, and placed during a single appointment.
- Digital impressions: Mess-free 3D scans provide greater comfort and higher precision.
- Traditional crowns: Typically require two or more visits and additional wait time for lab work.
- Temporary crown frustrations: These short-term solutions can feel awkward and may come loose unexpectedly.
