What Should You Expect When You Get Same-Day Crowns?

When you have a tooth that’s decayed or worn, crowns offer protection from further harm while also restoring tooth function. But traditional crowns often require more than one trip to the dentist. Our dentist in Burlington, MA, at Advanced Dental Care offers CEREC same-day crowns as a more convenient option that only involves one visit! Here’s what to expect if you decide to get these crowns.

Digital Scans of Your Teeth

We’ll need to scan your teeth to create your new crowns. These are done digitally rather than using messy materials on your teeth.

Crown Production On Site

When we have tooth scans, our CEREC machine gets to work making your brand-new dental crowns. They’re custom-made using ceramic material that resembles natural teeth.

Tooth Preparation

Placing crowns on your teeth involves some preparation. We’ll need to remove a small bit of enamel from the affected teeth to create space for the crowns.

Crown Fitting

As soon as your new crowns are ready, we’ll place them on your teeth. There’s no need for temporary crowns — you’ll have your permanent crowns right away! We’ll make sure these crowns fit your teeth securely.

Tips for Maintaining Same-Day Crowns

These crowns are durable, but they still need some care to keep them in good condition. We recommend:

• Not chewing on non-food objects
• Using soft-bristled toothbrushes and non-abrasive toothpaste
• Scheduling routine dental exams and cleanings
• Wearing a mouth guard if you clench your jaw or grind your teeth
