Busy Schedule? Broken tooth? We Offer Same Day Crowns!

Blue Pearl Dentistry offers same day crowns! Same-day crowns have revolutionized the world of restorative dentistry, offering patients a faster, more convenient option for repairing damaged or decayed teeth. Traditionally, getting a dental crown involved multiple visits to the dentist: one for preparing the tooth and taking impressions, and a second visit for placing the crown once it was returned from the dental laboratory. With advancements in dental technology, the same-day crown, also known as CEREC crowns (Ceramic Reconstruction), has become a popular alternative that provides numerous benefits for patients.

At Blue Pearl Dentistry, the process of getting a same-day crown typically involves three main steps. First, the dentist will use a special 3D scanning device to create a digital impression of the prepared tooth, eliminating the need for traditional gooey impressions. Next, the scan is uploaded to a computer system that designs the same-day crown to fit the tooth perfectly. Once the design is approved, the same-day crown is milled from a solid block of ceramic material using a high-precision machine in the dental office. The entire process, from scanning to crown placement, can be completed in just a few hours, allowing patients to leave the office with a fully restored tooth and a same-day crown.

One of the most appealing aspects of the same-day crown for patients at Blue Pearl Dentistry is the convenience factor. Patients no longer need to schedule multiple appointments or endure the temporary crown often required between visits. The fast turnaround of the same-day crown is especially beneficial for individuals with busy schedules or those who need immediate restoration to avoid further damage to the tooth. Furthermore, because the same-day crown is fabricated on-site, there is no need to wait for it to be sent to a laboratory, making the entire process much faster and more convenient for the patient.

Same-day crowns at Blue Pearl Dentistry also offer a level of precision and accuracy that traditional methods cannot always achieve. Because the same-day crown is created using 3D scanning technology, the fit is often more exact than the traditional impressions, leading to a better overall result. Additionally, the same-day crown is made from durable, natural-looking materials, ensuring that the restoration will blend seamlessly with the patient’s other teeth.

There are times when sending a crown to a laboratory is still preferred. Cosmetic cases, where appearance is crucial, often benefit from the expertise of a dental technician in a lab setting. Laboratory technicians can perform custom shade matching to ensure the crown seamlessly blends with the surrounding natural teeth. This is especially important for teeth that are highly visible when smiling, like the front teeth, where color and translucency are key factors in achieving a lifelike result. In these cases, a same-day crown might not provide the level of aesthetic detail that a crown from the lab can.

While the same-day crown process is incredibly efficient at Blue Pearl Dentistry, certain intricate cases may still benefit from the skill and experience of a laboratory technician. Some cosmetic restorations require fine-tuning in terms of texture, color, and translucency that may not be as easily achieved with a same-day crown. The laboratory’s specialized equipment and experience can create a crown with more detailed nuances in color, texture, and contour that may not be possible with same-day technology.

Same-day crowns at Blue Pearl Dentistry offer significant advantages in terms of speed, convenience, and efficiency, making them an ideal choice for many patients seeking immediate restorative care. The same-day crown eliminates the need for multiple appointments and reduces the waiting time for the final restoration. However, for cases requiring a higher degree of aesthetic customization, such as front teeth restorations, sending the crown to a laboratory may still be the best option to ensure an optimal cosmetic result. The same-day crown is a wonderful advancement, but in certain cases, the expertise of a laboratory technician still plays a crucial role in achieving the perfect result.
