Dental Crowns and Bridges in Saginaw, TX

Same-Day Crowns at Blue Sky Smiles

In today’s fast-paced world, efficiency in dental procedures can make all the difference. Same-day crowns stand as a testament to the evolution of dental technology, offering patients a quick and reliable solution without compromising on quality. At Blue Sky Smiles, Dr. Robinson harnesses advanced dental technologies to provide this efficient service for those in need of dental crowns.

What are Same-Day Crowns?

Same-day crowns, as the name suggests, are dental crowns that are crafted and placed within a single appointment. Traditional crowns often require at least two visits: the first for preparing the tooth and taking impressions, and a subsequent one for placing the final crown. The interim between appointments would require patients to wear a temporary crown. However, with same-day crowns, this process is streamlined.

Dr. Robinson uses state-of-the-art computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology to take accurate digital impressions of your teeth. This digital image is then processed by specialized software, and the final crown is milled or printed in the office while you wait. This eliminates the need for an external lab and the wait associated with it.

Types of Crowns (Materials)

Same-day crowns can be made from various materials, just like their traditional counterparts:

1. Ceramic: A popular choice for front teeth because of their natural appearance. Ceramic crowns blend seamlessly with the rest of your teeth and are highly resistant to staining.
2. Porcelain-fused to metal (PFM): These crowns combine the strength of metal with the aesthetics of porcelain. They’re durable and provide a natural tooth appearance.
3. Gold Alloys: Gold alloy crowns are a combination of gold, copper, and other metals. They’re incredibly durable, offering a strong bond to the tooth, and resisting wear and fracture.
4. Base Metal Alloys: Non-noble metals that are highly resistant to corrosion and wear make up these crowns. They require the least amount of healthy tooth removal prior to fitting.

Benefits of Same-Day Crowns

1. Efficiency: The most obvious benefit is time-saving. What used to take weeks can now be completed in a single visit.
2. Comfort: Without the need for temporary crowns, which can sometimes be uncomfortable or ill-fitting, the process becomes less cumbersome.
3. Precision: The CAD/CAM technology offers impeccable accuracy, ensuring the crown fits perfectly and requires minimal adjustment.
4. No Messy Impressions: Traditional impressions can be uncomfortable. The digital impressions used for same-day crowns are quick and hassle-free.
5. Durability: Despite the quick turnaround, same-day crowns are durable and long-lasting, thanks to the advanced materials and technology used.
