With treatments and normal tooth decay, sometimes our teeth need a bit of strengthening. Sometimes our teeth need to be completely repaired due to an accident or disease. Either way, the dentist in Edmonton have found ways of helping you regain your smile with same day crowns. Same day crowns are just as versatile as traditional crowns except dentists can prepare them in significantly less time. Same day crowns may be right for you if you are in need of:
- Repairing a cracked or chipped tooth
- Treating a decayed tooth
- Strengthening or protecting a fractured, worn, or even broken tooth
- Aligning an uneven tooth
- Correct a misshapen tooth
- Covering a discolored tooth
- Strengthening a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment
- Applying a dental implant or bridge
Prior to same day crowns, patients may have had to wear temporary crowns until the tooth was properly fixed. This may have meant uncomfortable fittings or unsightly smiles. For patients who had to wear the temporary crowns for long periods of time, this could make the entire process an unpleasant experience.
What Makes Same Day Crowns Different?
With traditional crowns, you are going to be required to make multiple appointments to complete the process. Same day crowns allow you to complete the process while not having to sacrifice quality or natural appearance. Simply put, technology has advanced to allow a dentist to analyze your tooth, create the crown, and apply it to your tooth all within the same day!
If you are considering the need for a same-day crown, talk with your dentist in Edmonton about if this option is right for you. Your dentist can walk you through your options and explain how long their entire process will take for your specific situation.
