The traditional crown procedure typically involves two dental visits. During the initial visit, your dentist will prepare the tooth by reducing its structure to accommodate the new crown. Subsequently, impressions of the prepared area are taken using either digital scanning technology or traditional impression trays filled with silicone material.

These impressions are then sent to a dental laboratory where skilled technicians fabricate the final crown, a process which typically takes up to two weeks. In the interim, a temporary crown is placed to safeguard the tooth and maintain functionality.

During the second visit, the permanent crown is bonded to the prepared tooth by your dentist.

Same-day crowns offer several benefits, including time and cost efficiency, as they eliminate the need for multiple dental visits. Additionally, they provide immediate restoration of the tooth’s function and aesthetics, allowing you to resume normal activities without delay.

Whether opting for traditional or same-day crowns, your dentist will recommend the most suitable option based on your individual needs and preferences.
