What Happens During a Visit for Same-Day Crowns?

Many people have to wait weeks for custom crowns when they choose the traditional way. But with same-day crowns, you can get new custom-made crowns in one appointment. Here’s what to expect if you visit our dentists in Cohasset, MA, at Cohasset Dental for this treatment.

Numbing the Area

We administer local anesthesia to numb the area to prevent you from feeling anything during your visit.

Taking Digital Images

Our dental team takes these images to make sure you get a crown that’s custom-made for your tooth. This helps ensure that it fits right and looks natural.

Creating the Crown

Getting same-day crowns in Cohasset, MA, means you wait while we have them made using a milling machine that’s in our office. The machine creates your new crown based on the digital images of your tooth.

Preparing the Tooth

While waiting for your new crown to be finished, we make sure your tooth is ready for it. Making a new crown takes anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes. During that time, we eliminate decay or remove some enamel to make room for the crown.

Placing the New Crown

When it’s ready, we put the new crown on your tooth and apply bonding material that holds it in place. We also use a specialized light to harden the material.

Checking the Fit

The last step is having your crown checked to ensure it fits properly. If needed, we can make adjustments to it before you leave.
