When it comes to restoring damaged teeth, dental crowns<\/a> are one of the most commonly utilized solutions. They\u2019re able to provide an exceptional amount of added protection for a compromised tooth\u2014yet sadly, receiving dental crowns isn\u2019t always quick or easy. But thanks to advancements in dental technology, crowns are now easier than ever to place and can even be placed in a single appointment! But is this newer and expedited option just as reliable and effective as the traditional route?  Keep reading to learn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. They Only Take About 2 Hours to Place<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest selling points of same-day crowns is the accelerated placement process; they can be designed, manufactured, and placed all within a single appointment! This turnaround time is very impressive and much more appealing than the traditional crown process, which can take multiple appointments over weeks in some cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. They\u2019re Quite Durable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re worried about sacrificing durability by opting for same-day crowns, you should know that they\u2019re made of the same durable porcelain materials as traditional lab-milled crowns. This porcelain is strong enough to withstand the daily wear and tear of biting and chewing, so all of your favorite foods are back on the menu. Just keep in mind that your crowns aren\u2019t invincible; they can still break if you aren\u2019t careful when biting into hard foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. The Overall Process Is More Comfortable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since they only take a single visit to place, same day crowns cut down on the amount of discomfort you\u2019ll experience throughout the placement process. You\u2019ll have fewer rounds of numbing shots, less time spent sitting in the dentist\u2019s chair, and of course, you\u2019ll dodge the need for impressions being taken using that foul-tasting, gooey material that\u2019s used during the traditional crown process. Not to mention, since crown placement typically leaves you with a sore mouth, you\u2019ll only have to deal with this pain once!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. They Cost About the Same as Traditional Crowns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You would think that the cutting-edge technology used throughout the process of placing same-day crowns would drive up the cost of treatment, but this isn\u2019t the case! Same-day crowns are roughly the same price as traditional crowns. The process actually eliminates many of the other costly expenses that are used for traditional crowns, such as impression materials and the cost of sending things to the lab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. There\u2019s No Extra Maintenance Required<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All crowns will require some maintenance, as they absolutely do not mitigate the need for keeping a clean and healthy mouth! The protected tooth is still vulnerable to damage and decay. That said, same-day crowns don\u2019t require any extra<\/em> maintenance compared to their traditional counterparts. You should continue to brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes each time, while also flossing and using an antibacterial mouthwash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re in need of a dental crown, talk with your dentist about same-day crowns; there are several benefits to opting for this awesome solution!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
