Modern dental care and technology make it easier to receive high-quality treatment and restorations without multiple appointments. At Carolina Center for Restorative Dentistry, our prosthodontist specializes in restorative dentistry and tooth replacement, paying careful attention to quality, function, and detail.
Reasons you might need a dental crown:
- To connect a dental bridge to biological teeth
- To cap a single dental implant post
- To conceal weak or flawed teeth
- To extend a short tooth
What Are Same-Day Dental Crowns in Mt. Pleasant
A prosthodontist is uniquely qualified to provide restorations quickly. Dental crowns are no exception. We use innovative technology, high-quality materials, and our in-office lab and milling machine to craft your crown while you wait.
Because we don’t send messy impressions to a nearby lab (we are digital), Dr. Mayur Patel can oversee the fabrication of your restoration from start to finish.
Why Traditional Crowns Require Multiple Visits
Traditional crowns typically require a visit to the dentist's office to take gooey impression materials and create a mold. Then, we send the mold or specifications to a nearby lab. The lab then fabricates the restoration and sends it back to our dental office. When your crown arrives at our dental office, you will need to return for a final fitting and adjustment.
These steps add up and take time, which is why we’re pleased to offer same-day dental crowns in Mt. Pleasant.
Busy families, professionals, and students especially benefit from same-day restorations!
Same-Day Crowns vs. Traditional Two-Visit Crowns
Custom same-day dental crowns are often completed during a single office visit.
Traditional two-visit crowns mean wearing a temporary restoration, waiting weeks for your custom crown, and more than one visit to the dental office.
Whether you have a same-day crown or two-visit restoration, you can count on quality materials and natural-looking porcelain.
However, for same-day crowns, Dr. Patel designs and mills your crowns right here in our dental office using CAD/CAM technology. This can save you the cost of an outside lab fee and is more considerate of your schedule.
What to Expect During Your Same-Day Crown Visit in Mt. Pleasant
Here are the steps you can expect in most cases:
- Dr. Patel assesses your tooth for eligibility.
- Dr. Patel prepares your tooth for crowning.
- We take a digital impression/scan of the prepared tooth.
- Our on-site lab designs and prints your porcelain crown.
- Dr. Patel adjusts for fit and color before cementing the crown over your prepared tooth.
Is the Quality the Same as with Traditional Crowns?
Yes, the quality of same-day dental crowns is the same as traditional crowns. The materials are the same. Better still? An experienced prosthodontist oversees the fabrication. We think you’ll be pleased!
