Same-day crowns and other tooth restorations can be made in the dentist\u2019s office and often in minutes using technology known as Computer-Aided Design\/Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD\/CAM).<\/p>\n<h3>Benefits of Same-Day Crowns<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Saves you time and money<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Traditional crowns require you to get temporary crowns while you wait for the permanent crown to be made. Same-day crowns eliminate the expense of the temporary crown, and the expense of the multiple appointments that traditional crowns require.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Restores function to your mouth and teeth immediately<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With temporary crowns, you have to be careful how you eat so that the temporary crown doesn\u2019t fall out. With same-day <a href=\"https:\/\/drgaryb.com\/dental-crowns-bridgework-westminster\/\">crowns<\/a>, you will have full functioning of your teeth again.<\/p>\n<h3>Same-Day Crown Process<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/CthMs2QiEpC61qqc9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Your dentist<\/a> will remove any decay or debris from the affected area, and then shape the tooth or teeth so it will fit with the crown.<\/li>\n<li>With the help of a small scanning wand, your dentist will take digital pictures of your mouth that will assist in generating a 3D model of your teeth.<\/li>\n<li>The CAD\/CAM software uses this 3D model to create your crown. It can even use a mirror-image twin of the other side of your mouth to create the most natural-looking crown possible.<\/li>\n<li>A block of ceramic material is chosen to match the color of your teeth, and the computer\u2019s digital design is transmitted to a milling machine that carves the crown from the ceramic block in about five minutes.<\/li>\n<li>The crown is then bonded to your tooth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Caring for your crown is very similar to caring for your natural teeth. As always, you need to regularly brush and floss. With crowns, it\u2019s even more important to maintain a regular schedule of professional cleanings at the dental office. If you have a grinding habit, talk to your dentist about a mouthguard to protect your teeth and crowns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A tooth that has been structurally damaged by decay or trauma sometimes needs to be crowned or \u201ccapped\u201d so that it can look good and function properly again.
