Once the crown is ready, it will be fitted onto your prepared tooth and any necessary adjustments will be made to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.

Our crown teeth are durable and natural-looking, blending seamlessly with your natural teeth. We understand that every patient’s needs are unique, so we take the time to discuss the pros and cons of this procedure with you to determine whether it’s the right choice for your individual needs.

Say goodbye to lengthy and inconvenient crown procedures. Contact The CDE today to learn more about our 1-hour express crown procedure and schedule your appointment for a beautiful and healthy smile. A 1-hour express crown is a dental crown that can be fabricated and installed in a single appointment, typically lasting around an hour. This is in contrast to traditional crowns, which typically require two appointments and a waiting period of several days or weeks.

Process Of Installing a Crown Tooth

The process of making and installing a 1-hour express crown typically involves the following steps:

Preparation of the tooth: The dentist will first prepare the tooth by removing any decayed or damaged portions, shaping it to fit the crown, and taking an impression of the tooth.
Digital scanning: Instead of taking a physical impression, a digital impression is taken with a special camera that captures a 3D image of the prepared tooth and surrounding teeth.
Crown design: Using computer-aided design (CAD) software, the dentist will design the crown to fit the prepared tooth precisely. The design is then sent to a milling machine to create the crown.
Milling the crown: The milling machine uses a block of ceramic or resin material to carve the crown to the exact shape and size needed to fit the patient’s tooth.
Crown installation: Once the crown is ready, the dentist will fit it onto the prepared tooth and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.

What Are The Benefits Of A Dental Crown

Some of the benefits of 1-hour express crowns include:

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a dental crown and why might I need one?
A dental crown is a cap placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, and function. It is commonly needed when a tooth is too damaged for a filling or after a root canal treatment.

2. How long does it take to get a dental crown?
Typically, getting a dental crown requires two visits: one to prepare the tooth and take impressions, and a second to place the permanent crown. The process usually takes about two weeks.

3. Is getting a dental crown painful?
The procedure is generally not painful because local anesthesia is used to numb the area. Some mild discomfort may occur after the procedure, but it is usually temporary and can be managed with pain relief.

4. How long do dental crowns last?
With proper care, dental crowns can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years or more. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups can help extend their lifespan.

5. Are dental crowns covered by insurance?
Many dental insurance plans partially cover the cost of dental crowns, though coverage varies. It’s best to check with your provider to understand your benefits and out-of-pocket costs.
