Your guide to same-day dental crowns at Riverside Dental Clinic
A same-day dental crown is described as a custom-made cap placed over a damaged tooth. This restorative procedure can address issues such as broken, cracked, or discolored teeth. At Riverside Dental Clinic in Drumheller, Alberta, Dr. Ken Poznikoff and his team create and securely cement a permanent crown onto your tooth, fully protecting it from further damage.
How are same-day dental crowns determined to be necessary?
Your dentist at Riverside Dental Clinic might recommend a dental crown to:
- Cover a cavity that is too large for a filling.
- Protect a cracked, weak, or even worn-down tooth.
- Restore a tooth’s appearance after root canal therapy or if it’s discolored.
- Anchor a dental bridge or cover a dental implant to replace a missing tooth.
Why might I require a same-day dental crown?
Our team at Riverside Dental Clinic may recommend a new dental crown for several reasons. The four most common include:
- Protecting a tooth after a root canal procedure.
- Enhancing the look of a discolored or misshapen tooth.
- Completing a dental implant so you can chew normally.
- Strengthening a weak or fractured tooth to prevent further damage.
What are some of the advantages of a dental crown?
- Pain relief. Oral health problems, such as tooth decay, oral infections, or fractured teeth, can cause significant pain. After addressing the problem with treatments like a filling or root canal, your tooth may still be at risk of further damage, which can lead to even more discomfort. A dental crown provides essential protection for your healing tooth, preventing additional harm and pain.
- Restore your tooth’s appearance. A dental crown is often used to cover a wide range of imperfections, such as discoloration, crookedness, or chips. Some patients worry that their crown will look like a fake tooth, but our team takes the time to ensure it matches the look of your other teeth, restoring the natural beauty of your smile. We typically use white porcelain to create a pleasant, shiny appearance.
- Durability. We use a strong bonding cement to ensure your crown stays in place for many years. The porcelain itself is a durable material that, with proper care, such as regular brushing and flossing, can last up to 30 years.
- Surprisingly simple. Getting a dental crown might sound like a lengthy and complicated process, but it’s actually a quick and painless procedure. The procedure is minimally invasive, and for patients who feel stressed or anxious about dental visits, sedatives are available at Riverside Dental Clinic to help ensure comfort throughout the treatment.
