Fixed in a Day: Same-Day Crowns IN Surprise, AZ
A damaged tooth can affect not only your oral health, but also how you feel about your appearance. Instead of hiding your smile due to a damaged tooth, you can fix it fast. That’s why RGC Dentistry offers dental crowns that you can get in a single visit to our dental office! Read on for more info about same-day crowns and why they're so popular.
What Are Dental Crowns?
A crown is a cap that goes over a damaged tooth. Crowns are made from porcelain, resin, ceramics, and metals. Crowns are used to protect, cover, and restore the shape of your teeth when fillings don’t solve the problem.
Your Surprise, AZ dentist will determine the best material to use for your crown. Crowns require the same care you would give your natural teeth, good oral hygiene! Best of all, you can get an exam, consultation, and a crown all on the same day.
What Are Same-Day Crowns?
As the name implies, a same-day crown is one that is designed and fitted the same day. Our Dentists near Luke Air Force Base use an intraoral camera as well as computer-aided technology to create a 3D image of your damaged tooth which acts as a digital mold. They will then use a CEREC machine to make your ceramic crown based on the digital mold.
The CEREC machine is an advanced technology that is used to get impeccable results for patients. Instead of multiple visits to the dentist and a temporary crown that is necessary with traditional crowns, CEREC makes it possible to get a durable, natural-looking crown in just one dental office visit whether you are in Ashton Ranch, Sun City Grand, Sun City West, near Luke Air Force Base or in The Valley, Surprise, AZ.
Pros and Cons of Same-Day Crowns
As with anything, there are pros and cons. Although there are more advantages than disadvantages when it comes to same-day crowns, it’s important to have all the facts to make an informed decision.

- Patients have full use and function of their teeth immediately after the procedure.
- Having fewer dentist visits saves money.
- CEREC crowns fit perfectly and match your natural tooth.
- CEREC crowns are precise and not painful.
