When you have a damaged or aching tooth, we can offer a crown. When a tooth is missing, we can replace it with a bridge. But did you know we can offer same-day crowns and bridges? In today’s blog, your team at Grinnell Street Dental in Sheridan, WY, talks about how we can create and place same-day crowns and bridges.
The Same-Day Process
How do we create and secure a restoration or a prosthetic in only one visit? Same-day crowns and bridges start with our team gently numbing the area where treatment will take place. We will remove structure from the tooth being treated, or in the case of missing teeth, from the abutment teeth on each side of the gap., We then take images of these teeth quickly and comfortably with an intraoral camera that sits at the end of a thin wand. The images will be combined to create a 3D impression, one far more accurate than a traditional physical mold, and more convenient too.
We upload the restoration or prosthetic into the onsite milling machine, which crafts them from ceramic. The material can handle daily bite forces with ease, and be shaded to blend with your smile. In the same visit, we will attach the restoration or the prosthetic, so you leave with same-day crowns and bridges.
Dental Restoration
A same-day restoration caps the tooth and instantly reshapes it. We can use this to repair cracked or chipped teeth, address decay too severe for a filling, or address infected teeth following a root canal. This could also help boost bite balance and chewing function, all with lifelike results.
Dental Prosthetics
The prosthetic can replace a single missing tooth or as many as two to three in a row. The prosthetic contains new teeth with crowns attached to each end. We connect these to the abutment teeth to secure your new ones for years to come. These can last for as long as 10 to 15 years in fact!
