Same-day dental crowns offer a convenient solution for restoring damaged teeth in a single visit. Rather than relying on traditional methods that require multiple appointments and temporary restorations, same-day crowns in Burnsville, Minnesota, use advanced E4D digital technology to design, create and place a custom crown while you wait. This service streamlines your care and allows you to walk out of Twin Cities Modern Dentistry with a fully restored smile in just one day.
What to Expect During Your Same-Day Crown Appointment
When you visit our office for a same-day crown your appointment will begin with a thorough examination to determine if this treatment is appropriate for your specific needs. If a crown is the best solution, our dentists will carefully remove any decayed or weakened tooth material. This step ensures that the remaining tooth structure is healthy and can support your new restoration.
Next, a digital scanner is used to take a highly accurate image of your teeth. This image is converted into a 3D model, which serves as the blueprint for your custom crown. Using CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) technology, our dentists will design and mill your crown from a solid block of tooth-colored ceramic right in our office.
Precision-Fit Restorations Without the Wait
Once your crown has been milled, it will be fitted to your tooth for comfort and accuracy. Our dentists will check your bite, make necessary adjustments and then bond the crown permanently into place. After a final polish, your restoration will be complete. The result is a beautiful, durable crown that looks and feels like a natural tooth.
Same-day crowns are ideal for patients who value convenience, efficiency and high-quality dental care. Because the entire process is completed in a single visit, you do not need to wear a temporary crown or schedule a second appointment. The digital design process also allows for a more precise fit, which can improve both comfort and long-term performance.
When Dental Crowns Are Recommended
Dental crowns are recommended when a tooth has been significantly damaged or weakened and cannot be restored with a filling alone. Common reasons for needing a crown include:
- Protecting a tooth after root canal therapy
- Restoring a broken or severely worn tooth
- Restoring and protecting a tooth with a large cavity
- Securing a dental bridge
- Capping a dental implant to complete a tooth replacement
- Enhancing the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth
- Reinforcing teeth that have cracked due to trauma or grinding
If you are experiencing sensitivity, pain while chewing or visible damage to a tooth, a dental crown may be the ideal treatment to restore function and appearance.
