At Gallagher & Kuhn Dental Group, we are excited to offer Same-Day Crowns, providing you with a quick and efficient dental solution for your busy life. Thanks to our cutting-edge CEREC Primescan and Primemill technology, we can now complete your dental crown procedure in just one visit, eliminating the need for temporary crowns and multiple trips to the dentist. This means you can walk out of our office with a permanent, fully customized crown in a single appointment.
The Process of Getting a Same-Day Crown
The process begins with taking a digital impression of your teeth using an advanced scanning tool. This is a pain-free and radiation-free procedure where a small “wand” is moved over your teeth. This wand captures thousands of detailed images that are then stitched together to create a full, high-resolution image of your teeth and gums. The scan is incredibly precise, offering a much more comfortable experience compared to traditional goopy impressions.
After we’ve captured your digital impression, the next step is to prepare your tooth for the crown. Once your tooth is ready, it is scanned again, and all of this information is sent to our computer, where a 3D model of both your teeth and your custom crown is generated. Your dentist will carefully review the model to ensure it fits your mouth and bite perfectly.
Creating Your Custom Crown
Once the 3D model is approved, the real magic happens. Using the latest CEREC milling machine, your crown is crafted from a solid ceramic block. This process is quick and precise, allowing your crown to be made right here in our office. After milling, the crown is stained, characterized, and polished to match the natural color and shape of your existing teeth, ensuring a perfect and seamless blend with your smile.
Fitting and Bonding
Once the crown is ready, your dentist will carefully adjust it for the perfect fit. Then, the crown is permanently cemented or bonded to your tooth. The result is a crown that looks, feels, and functions like your natural tooth, all without the need for temporary crowns or extra visits.
No goopy impressions. No temporaries. No worries.
