Understanding Same-Day Crowns & Bridges

Same-day crowns & bridges represent a significant advancement in dental restoration technology. Unlike traditional methods that require multiple appointments spanning several weeks, our state-of-the-art CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology allows us to design, create, and place your custom crown or bridge in a single appointment.

This innovative process uses digital scanning to create a precise 3D model of your tooth, which is then milled from a solid block of ceramic material right in our office. The result is a durable, natural-looking restoration that perfectly matches your existing teeth.

Benefits of Same-Day Crowns & Bridges

Our Same-Day Crown & Bridge Process

Comprehensive Dental Evaluation

Dr. Zavala or Dr. Duque will conduct a thorough examination of your oral health at Smile Haven. During this evaluation, we’ll discuss your specific concerns and determine if a same-day crown or bridge suits your needs. We’ll explain each step of the procedure, answer your questions, and make sure you understand all aspects of your treatment before moving forward. Our goal is to ensure you feel informed and comfortable with the recommended solution.

Digital Scanning & Design

We’ll create a personalized plan for your same-day crown or bridge based on your specific dental situation. This includes careful consideration of tooth location, bite alignment, and aesthetic goals. Using advanced digital scanning technology, we capture precise measurements of your tooth without messy impression materials. The scanner creates an accurate 3D model that allows us to design a restoration that fits perfectly and looks natural alongside your existing teeth.

In-Office Crown Milling

On treatment day, we’ll gently prepare your tooth by removing decay or damage while preserving healthy tooth structure. Our in-office milling machine crafts your custom crown or bridge from a solid block of high-quality ceramic material. This advanced technology allows us to create your permanent restoration in about an hour. You can relax in our comfortable office while your new crown or bridge takes shape with the exact specifications needed for your mouth.

Perfect Fit Adjustments

Before permanent placement, we’ll verify the fit, color match, and appearance of your new crown or bridge. We make meticulous adjustments to ensure proper bite alignment and comfortable function. The restoration is then permanently bonded to your tooth, creating a strong and durable result. This attention to detail during the fitting process helps prevent common issues like food trapping or bite discomfort that can occur with poorly fitted restorations.

Post-Restoration Check-Up

We’ll provide clear instructions for caring for your new same-day crown or bridge, including specific brushing and flossing techniques. Most patients can immediately return to normal activities with minimal sensitivity. We’ll schedule a brief follow-up appointment to verify that your restoration functions properly and feels comfortable. During regular check-ups, we continue to monitor your crown or bridge to ensure lasting performance and address any concerns that might arise.
