Get a Same-Day Crown at Advanced Family Dentistry

Getting a crown used to be a long process, with several visits and messy impressions to complete the restoration. Now, with today’s modern technology, it is possible to get a same-day crown without all the hassle.

Each patient and each case is different, so we will have to determine if you are a candidate for a same-day crown. In most cases, most patients do qualify and can leave the same day with a quality, long-lasting crown.

The Latest in Dental Technology for Same-Day Crowns

Our office is proud to offer the Sirona Galileos, CEREC Omnicam and CEREC Milling Unit technology. These tools are designed to speed up the process of creating and installing a dental crown. Here’s how each can help us design your same-day crown.

Sirona Galileos

The Sirona Galileos is a 3D imaging scanner that allows dental specialists many new options for diagnosis, treatment and consultations. Using superior image quality and only low-dose radiation, it allows close-up views to help dentists and patients understand what is going on in their dental health and treatment plans.

CEREC Omnicam

The CEREC Omnicam is a lightweight, handheld 3D dental scanner that creates scans in full color. As it is powder-free, it enables us to take a coating-free scan of your teeth and gingiva (gums) without using the conventional impression tray. We simply run the small-sized scanner along the surface of your teeth for a complete view. We can see the entire jaw.

Through the Omnicam’s technology, we can see the precise 3D scanned images on our screen and analyze the shade of your teeth’s natural color in order to match the new crown more precisely. We use this tool for our same-day crowns and can also use it for dental aligner determinations.

CEREC Milling Unit

Our CEREC Milling Unit and Grinding Unit create precise crowns right in our very own office. We no longer have to send out an impression to a lab and wait for your crown to come back in to our office. We can create your crown and install it in one dental visit. Using digital technology, the CEREC units synchronize with our software to produce an extremely precise and smooth crown for your dental restoration in less than 15 minutes.
