Do I Need a Same-Day Crown?
A same-day crown offers the full protection of a traditional crown without the waiting period. If you have a chipped, broken, or severely decayed tooth, then a custom crown placed in one visit may be the solution you need. Dr. Isom takes a gentle, comfortable approach to crafting durable restorations that protect your natural teeth and rejuvenate your ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently.
Conventional and Cosmetic Dental Crowns in One Day
If you have a tooth that is compromised, then it's necessary to get a dental restoration to safeguard it from further damage or infection. A traditional crown protects a weak or decaying tooth by covering it with a strong, fitted shell. That shell absorbs the pressure of biting and chewing so your natural tooth stays safe underneath.
Cosmetic crowns restore the beauty and shape of your tooth to create an aesthetically pleasing smile. We carefully craft a restoration that rejuvenates the appeal of your smile, and we can color-match your new cosmetic crown with our in-house CEREC® machine. If we cannot perfectly match the color, then we use a trusted lab to create your cosmetic dental crown to ensure a beautifully blended smile.
Our Same-Day Crown Process
We understand that when your tooth is compromised, it impacts your day and quality of life. That's why we offer same-day crowns to get you out of pain and back to your day. A broken tooth can have sharp edges that irritate the inside of your cheeks, lips, and tongue, but a crown placed in one visit recreates the smooth finish and bite pattern while protecting your natural tooth from damage and infection.
Dr. Isom begins with a thorough exam with measurements and images of your dental structures we gather with our scanner. Once we have created a crown that matches the measurements and aesthetics of your natural teeth, we use CEREC to mill it right here in the office. Dr. Isom will then gently shape your existing tooth and set and seal your new crown, all in one comfortable appointment. That peace of mind, knowing your tooth is fully restored before you leave, is something our patients really appreciate.
Implant-Supported Crowns
A dental implant replaces a missing tooth from root to crown, giving you a complete, lasting restoration. That's why we offer implant-supported crowns to renew your bite pattern and protect your natural teeth from uneven wear caused by a missing tooth. Dental implants consist of an implant post, an abutment, and a prosthetic tooth or crown. The implant post performs the vital function of your natural tooth root and stimulates your jawbone, which prevents bone loss and preserves your facial structure. We use a lab where a trusted team will artfully match the size, shape, and color of your crown to your natural teeth for a seamless look.
Dental Crowns in One Day FAQs
Same-day crowns can seem like a complex treatment, and it's normal to have questions. That's why we encourage you to voice your questions and concerns. We are happy to provide the answers and resources you need to make an informed decision about your treatment plan. Here are some of the most common questions we receive about same-day crowns in Knoxville:
Are same-day crowns the same as temporary crowns? ⌄
No. Temporary crowns aren't as durable as normal restorations and should be replaced with your custom dental crown as soon as possible. Same-day crowns are strong, tailored to fit you specifically, and designed to last for many years.
Do same-day crowns hurt? ⌄
We carefully create a crown that fits comfortably within your arch of teeth to help ensure it feels natural. If we need to shape your natural tooth to place the crown, we offer sedation options to maximize your comfort.
How long will a same-day crown last? ⌄
Same-day crowns can last a decade or more when you care for them properly. Dr. Isom will provide helpful tips and instructions so you can increase the longevity of your dental restoration.
