Dr. Nechama Brand offers same day dental crowns using advanced CAD/CAM technology in our Chicago dentist office. This innovative approach allows patients to walk in with a damaged tooth or broken crown and leave the same day with a beautiful, permanent crown.
What Are Same Day Dental Crowns?
Same day dental crowns use advanced CAD/CAM technology. This stands for Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing. With this technology, dentists can create custom crowns in just one appointment. At our downtown Chicago dental practice, this technology transforms what once took weeks into a convenient, efficient process completed in just one visit.
How CAD/CAM Technology Works
The process of receiving a same day dental crown is remarkably streamlined when compared to the traditional crown process, enabling patients to leave with a new crown in a single visit.
- Digital Scanning: Instead of uncomfortable traditional impressions, Dr. Brand uses a high-precision digital scanner to create a 3D image of your tooth. This advanced imaging provides exceptional accuracy and comfort.
- Computer Design: The CAD software helps Dr. Brand create your custom crown accurately. This ensures a great fit, function, and look. Every contour is carefully crafted to match your natural tooth structure.
- In-Office Milling: Using state-of-the-art CAM milling equipment, your crown is fabricated right in the office from a high-quality ceramic block. The entire process takes just a few hours.
- Same-Day Placement: Once your crown is complete, Dr. Brand expertly bonds it to your prepared tooth, and you leave with a fully restored smile—no temporary crown needed.
Benefits of Same Day Crowns for Patients
When considered a good option for your needs, a same day dental crown can offer benefits for oral health and overall lifestyle.
Time Savings
For busy patients, we know that time is precious. Same day crowns eliminate the need for multiple appointments, saving you valuable time. There’s no need to take additional time off work or rearrange your schedule for follow-up visits. Dr. Brand can place your new crown right away.
No Temporary Crowns
Traditional crown procedures require wearing a temporary crown for a couple of weeks or more while your permanent crown is fabricated at an outside lab. Temporary crowns can be uncomfortable, may fall off, and require dietary restrictions. With same day crowns, you skip this inconvenient step entirely.
Superior Comfort
Digital impressions are far more comfortable than traditional putty molds. Many patients experience gagging or discomfort with conventional impressions, but digital scanning technology makes the process quick and pleasant. This is performed chairside and provides immediate digital imagery for use in creating your new crown.
Exceptional Quality
CAD/CAM technology produces crowns with remarkable precision and consistency. The computer-designed and milled crowns fit exceptionally well, reducing the risk of complications and ensuring long-lasting results. Dr. Brand’s experience and expertise combined with this advanced technology delivers superior outcomes.
Natural Appearance
The high-quality ceramic materials used in same day crowns are carefully selected to match your natural tooth color and translucency. Dr. Brand ensures that your crown blends seamlessly with your smile, providing aesthetic results that are virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
Preserves More Natural Tooth Structure
The precision of CAD/CAM technology often allows Dr. Brand to preserve more of your natural tooth structure compared to traditional crown preparations. This conservative approach is better for your long-term dental health and the integrity of your tooth.
