Same-Day Dental Crowns – Morgan Hill, CA

What Are Same-Day Dental Crowns?

In general, dental crowns are small caps that can be placed onto the teeth in order to repair damage or protect the tooth. They’re an incredibly versatile treatment, capable of dealing with a variety of issues from mild damage to severe cavities.

Typically, these dental crowns are created in an external lab, meaning that it will take time for you to get your final restoration. However, we make use of VHF same-day crown technology, which makes use of an in-house milling machine that can create your restoration within just an hour. This means that there’s no need to wait for your restoration; you’ll be able to get your dental crown the same day you see us! This new technology makes the process of getting a dental crown much more convenient.

The Process of Getting a Same-Day Dental Crown

In many ways, the process of getting a same-day crown is similar to any other restoration. The first step will be the design process, where we pick the color of your dental crown as well as the material you’d like it to be made from. We’ll then remove a small amount of your enamel, which is done to make room for the eventual dental crown. Of course, your mouth will be numbed completely for this process.

Once this is done, we’ll take a digital impression of your tooth that will be used to design your restoration. These impressions will be sent to our milling machine, where the manufacture of your dental crown will begin. This process should only take around an hour, and you can even watch it happen if you’re curious.

Once the crown has been completed, we’ll let you try it on and will make any last-minute adjustments to your restoration. After that, you’ll leave our office with a brand-new restoration that you can take pride in!

Benefits of Same-Day Crowns vs. Traditional Crowns

Of course, the main advantage of getting a same-day crown over a traditional one is the convenience of the treatment. This means less time out of your day and fewer trips to the dentist’s office, a great side benefit of needing only one appointment as opposed to two. You also won’t need to wear a temporary crown, which is often uncomfortable and requires substantial dietary adjustments.

Then you’ll get all the advantages of a dental crown, including their affordability and lifelike results. If you’re interested in getting your dream smile without waiting, give us a call and we’ll talk to you about your options.
