At the office of Dr. Neal Edwards, we understand that your time is valuable. We also know that spending more time in the dental office is never on anyone’s wish list! This is why our team in Riverside, California, provides single-visit dental crowns for patients who are ready to restore their smiles and achieve healthy, beautiful teeth. This option is not available at all dental offices, which sets ours apart from other offices in the community and surrounding cities.
Dr. Neal Edwards describes dental crowns made the same day as a revolutionary way for patients to get the care they need in a shorter period of time without sacrificing quality. Single-visit dental crowns, also known as same-day crowns or CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) crowns, are a modern dental technology that allows for the creation and placement of a permanent crown in just a single appointment.
With traditional dental crowns, multiple appointments were necessary. The first appointment involved taking impressions and sending them to an off-site lab to create the custom crown. During this time, patients would have to wear a temporary crown until their next appointment, when the permanent crown was ready to be placed. This process could take weeks, causing inconvenience and discomfort for patients. Single-visit dental crowns eliminate the need for multiple appointments and waiting time.Â
There are several advantages to selecting a single-visit dental crown restoration over more traditionally made dental crowns. Same-day crowns save patients time by eliminating the need for multiple appointments. This is especially beneficial for those with busy schedules or who live outside the Riverside, California, area. Also, since the crown is created on-site and placed in one appointment, there is less risk of discomfort or complications compared to temporary crowns used with conventional crowns. Same-visit dental crowns are also incredibly accurate and precise as they use computer-aided software to scan the prepared tooth and create the final restoration.
Both types of crowns are considered quality, long-lasting restorations that can provide repair for weak or damaged teeth. Just like conventional crowns, our same-day crowns will last a decade or longer with proper care and regular attention.
