Northwest Family Dental Care, a leading dental practice in Covington, is pleased to announce the addition of same-day dental crowns to its comprehensive list of services. This innovative technology allows dentists to design, create, and place permanent dental crowns in a single visit, eliminating the need for multiple appointments and temporary crowns.

“We are excited to offer same-day dental crowns to our patients,” says Dr. Ryan Hanks, dentist in Covington. “This technology provides a significant convenience factor for our patients, allowing them to get the dental care they need in a single appointment. This is especially beneficial for busy patients or those who experience dental anxiety.”

Traditionally, the dental crown process requires multiple appointments. At the first appointment, the dentist prepares the tooth and takes an impression, which is then sent to a dental lab for the creation of the crown. The patient is fitted with a temporary crown while the permanent crown is being fabricated in the lab, which can take several weeks. With same-day dental crowns, the entire process is completed in a single visit.

The same-day dental crown process utilizes CEREC® technology, a computer-aided design (CAD)/computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) system. CEREC captures a digital impression of the tooth using a special camera, eliminating the need for messy and uncomfortable traditional impressions. The dentist then uses the CEREC software to design the crown on a computer screen. Once the design is finalized, the CEREC machine mills the crown from a block of high-quality dental ceramic.

“Same-day dental crowns offer several advantages over traditional crowns,” says Dr. Ryan Hanks. “They are more convenient, as they require only one appointment. They are also more comfortable, as they eliminate the need for temporary crowns. Additionally, CEREC crowns are durable and aesthetically pleasing, and they can be matched perfectly to the surrounding teeth.”

Same-day dental crowns are a valuable tool for restorative dentistry. They can be used to restore teeth that are cracked, fractured, severely decayed, or have undergone root canal therapy. Dental crowns can also be used to support dental bridges or improve the cosmetic appearance of a tooth.
