Dental crowns are a common type of dental restoration that can help you eat and smile normally after a root canal or dental implant procedure. A crown is made to look natural and blend in with the rest of your teeth for a seamless appearance. We offer same-day dental crowns for the convenience of our patients.
What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that goes over a damaged tooth or dental implant. They’re commonly used after a root canal procedure to protect the area and restore the look of your natural tooth.
You might also need to have a dental crown placed if:
- You have a cavity that’s too large for a filling
- Your tooth has been damaged beyond repair
- You want to conceal a misshapen tooth
- You need one to cap a dental implant
You should care for your dental crown the same way you would a natural tooth. With proper treatment, you can expect your crowns to last for up to 15 years.
Same-Day Dental Crowns
At the office of Jeffrey T. Baker DDS, we’re proud to offer same-day dental crowns thanks to our E4D CAD-CAM Restoration System. Usually when you get a crown, the restoration must be made in an off-site lab. That means you end up leaving the dentist with a temporary crown, not to mention the hassle of making a second appointment to get your permanent crown.
At our office, all of our crowns are made on-site so you never have to leave your appointment with a temporary restoration. Our crowns can be completed in just one appointment!
