Advice on Same Day Crowns

[carldavidson]

Has anyone here gotten same day crowns before? I’m curious about how durable and natural-looking they are compared to traditional crowns, and I’d love some advice before making a decision.

Sameday crowns are crowns that are made from digital scans of the mouth after a tooth has been prepped and then milled in a milling unit. Depending on the type of crowns the dentist has available, they can be just as aesthetic as well as just as durable as normal crowns. A lot of labs are moving towards digital scans and milled crowns as well. This is the direction modern dentistry is moving.

Same-day crowns are quick and can look very natural when made with materials such as porcelain. It’ll be certainly strong enough for most of its uses with the appropriate care, however for teeth under heavy pressure like molars, traditional crowns might be a better choice.
