How One Visit Crown Technology Works

The one visit crown process begins similarly to the process for traditional crowns. We have to prepare the tooth by removing a bit of enamel. This ensures that the crown will fit well. Then, we take impressions of the teeth. For traditional crowns, the impression process requires that the patient bites down on a putty-like material. For one visit crowns, we use an advanced intraoral scanner instead. The scanner captures countless images of your teeth and assembles them into a three-dimensional digital dental model.

With the help of advanced software, the dentist then designs the crown. We strive to ensure that the size, shape, and color of the restoration is a perfect fit for a patient’s mouth and an aesthetically pleasing complement to their facial characteristics. Once the design is finalized, our in-house milling unit carves the crown out of a single block of dental-grade porcelain. After we verify that the crown’s fit is perfect, we attach it to the tooth.

Most appointments for one visit crowns take a couple of hours or less.

Advantages of One Visit Dental Crowns

Of course, the fast treatment process of one visit dental crowns is among their most outstanding advantages. However, their benefits go much further than that. If you receive a one visit crown, you can expect to enjoy:

• A top-quality dental restoration. One visit crowns are comparable in quality to crowns made in a dental laboratory.
• No metal. One visit crowns are metal free, which makes them excellent for people with metal allergies or sensitivities.
• No need for a temporary crown. The traditional crown process requires patients to wear a temporary restoration between their appointments. Because the one visit crown process is so quick, you can skip this step altogether.
• No big price markups. One visit crowns are comparable in price to their lab-made counterparts. Plus, insurance is usually willing to cover at least half of their price.
• Reduced risk of error. Manual dental impressions are generally accurate, but if you accidentally move your teeth while one is being taken, you may have to start all over again. Some patients may even gag on the impression material. Digital impressions are relatively comfortable, and retakes are seldom necessary.

Do you suspect that you may soon need a dental crown? Choosing a dental practice that offers one visit restorations can prove to be a big time-saver!
