A Dental Crown in Just One Visit? Yes!
Consistent and excellent dental care is important for every member of your family. Recent advances have made going to the dentist an experience that’s more efficient and comfortable than ever before.
At Barrington Dental Wellness Center, our practice remains current with the latest advances in care. We offer a full range of leading-edge services for your continued oral health, from the highest quality laser, cosmetic and implant dental procedures, to the essentials in preventive, emergency and restorative dental care. Completely customized dental crowns (also called caps) that can be ready in as little as one visit are among our many quality treatment options.
We know that each of our patients has a smile that’s as individual as he or she is. All of our custom crowns and restorative fillings are made of superior-quality dental materials that are designed for longevity, performance and appearance. No matter what the reason behind a tooth needing a crown, we will leave you with a seamless smile.
Fitting a tooth with a crown typically takes up to three visits. After a tooth is prepared to get a crown, the patient wears a temporary crown and must then wait up to several weeks for the dentist to get the permanent crown back from the lab he uses. The patient then returns for the completion of the restoration.
But we at Barrington Dental Wellness Center aren’t typical. We can model, construct and install your new cap in just one visit. Employing our cutting-edge modeling software, we digitally scan the affected tooth and determine the exact dimensions required for your new crown. Our technologically precise machine makes the crown right here in our office.
We know that your time is valuable, which is why we offer the kind of flexibility that suits your demanding lifestyle. Barrington Dental Wellness Center wants to make your every visit to our office a positive, worry-free experience. To learn more about same-day crowns and our many other services, please don’t hesitate to call us today.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most patients find that modern root canal therapy feels no more uncomfortable than having a cavity filled. Local anesthesia helps keep the procedure comfortable.
Most procedures take between 60 and 90 minutes. Complex cases may require additional visits.
In some situations, retreatment may be necessary if a new infection develops or the restoration becomes damaged.
Saving the natural tooth is often preferred when possible because it maintains jaw support, chewing function, and alignment.
With proper restoration and regular dental care, many treated teeth remain functional for decades.
Final Thoughts
Root canal therapy helps maintain oral health by treating infection and saving the natural tooth whenever possible. Treating infection early can relieve discomfort, prevent complications, and restore normal function without removing the tooth. If ongoing tooth pain or sensitivity develops, seeking an evaluation from a trusted local dentist can help prevent the problem from worsening.
