Same-Day Crowns in Shrewsbury
At Shrewsbury Dental Associates, we understand that your time is valuable, which is why our same-day crowns are popular with patients looking to restore damaged teeth quickly and efficiently. Using advanced technology from Glidewell, our team can design, create, and place a durable, natural-looking crown during a single appointment, helping patients get back to smiling sooner.
How Are Same-Day Crowns Better Than Traditional Crowns?
Same-day crowns are permanent dental restorations, but unlike traditional crowns, they're created and placed in one visit, eliminating the need for temporary crowns or multiple appointments. These crowns are custom-made to fit your tooth precisely and are just as strong and long-lasting as traditional lab-made crowns.
Am I a Good Candidate for Same-Day Crowns?
Most patients are excellent candidates for same-day crowns. During an exam, Dr. Kaplan or Dr. Krishnan will evaluate your tooth to determine whether a crown is the best solution. If a crown is recommended, placing it promptly helps protect the tooth from additional damage.
Patients who have recently had a root canal are encouraged to receive a crown as soon as possible to reduce the risk of cracking or fracturing.
What to Expect During a Same-Day Crown Procedure
Your appointment begins with the area being numbed with a local anesthetic to ensure comfort. The tooth is then carefully prepared to accommodate the crown. Digital impressions are taken to capture detailed images of your tooth and surrounding gum tissue.
Once the crown is ready, it’s placed, adjusted for a precise fit, and polished. You’ll leave the office with a fully restored tooth, no second visit required.
