Same Day Crowns in Stanley, WI
Busy schedules should not stand in the way of restoring your smile. At Stanley Hometown Dentistry, same-day crowns allow us to design, create, and place a custom porcelain crown in a single visit, so you can walk out with a fully restored tooth.
How Same-Day Crowns Work
Same-day crowns use the latest in-office technology to design and create porcelain crowns right here in our office. After a thorough examination with X-rays, we determine whether the procedure will work for you. Instead of messy impressions and a temporary crown, we capture a digital model of your tooth, design your crown, and mill it from high-quality ceramic while you wait.
The Same-Day Crown Process
- Exam and imaging: We evaluate the tooth with digital X-rays to confirm a crown is the right treatment.
- Tooth preparation: The tooth is numbed and shaped to make room for the crown.
- Digital design: Your crown is designed to match the shape and shade of your natural teeth.
- Milling and placement: The crown is created in our office, then bonded securely in place.
