FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Check out these frequently asked questions, or call us to speak with our team.
Typically, same-day crowns are used to shield and repair teeth that have suffered significant damage due to a severe cavity or have been cracked or broken due to dental trauma, such as an accident or injury. By covering and safeguarding the entire tooth structure, same-day crowns are ideal for preventing additional issues and restoring the shape, look, and functionality of impaired teeth.
Additionally, same-day crowns are utilized to cover and protect teeth following root canal therapy. They can also be used in cosmetic dentistry when alternatives like veneers aren't suitable.
If your tooth is damaged, severely decayed, or if you require urgent dental attention, a same-day crown might be necessary. It's important to consult with our team at Associates in Family Dentistry if you're dealing with tooth pain, discomfort, or if you notice visible damage or discoloration of your teeth. Based on the specific dental problem you're facing, we can suggest a same-day crown or an alternative restorative treatment.
A well-made and properly placed same-day crown is designed to last forever and must be cared for like all natural teeth. At-home oral hygiene habits, including brushing twice per day and flossing once per day, as well as seeing us at least twice a year for a professional cleaning and exam will help enhance the longevity of the crown.
Absolutely! A same-day crown effectively conceals any noticeable stains or chips on your tooth. This is particularly advantageous for front teeth that are more visible. We custom-craft every crown in-office to ensure the crown matches the color of your surrounding teeth, seamlessly blending in with the rest of your smile.
