5 Dental Concerns a Same-Day Crown Can Address

Although teeth are fairly strong, they’re still prone to chipping and cracking from outside forces and daily use. An auto accident or mishap on the sports field can leave you nursing a cracked or broken tooth. Damage can occur from biting down on hard food, grinding your teeth, or using your teeth like tools.

At Redmond Smiles in Redmond, Washington, we use dental crowns to correct various dental issues, including damaged teeth. If you live in and around Everett, Dr. Colby Eckland can restore your smile during one dental visit through same-day crown treatment. Here are some of the dental concerns a same-day crown can address:

1. Chipped, Cracked or Broken Teeth  

Tooth repair is one of the major uses of dental crowns. With same-day crowns, there’s no delay in repairing the damage and restoring your tooth. Traditional crowns take weeks to complete and require multiple dental visits, as the crown is manufactured in an off-site lab. Same-day crowns are designed, milled, and placed in one day at our dental clinic. Dr. Eckland uses CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and manufacturing) technology to design and create natural-looking crowns that fit perfectly over your damaged teeth to restore their compromised structures. A same-day ceramic crown will make a damaged tooth look and function like new.

2. Teeth with Large Cavities

Crowns are often used to support teeth with large cavities and keep them from cracking with continued use. The daily pressure of biting and chewing can put undue strain on a tooth weakened by severe decay. A same-day crown will support your tooth’s structure and add an extra layer of protection against future decay.

3. Weak or Worn Teeth

Factors like age, wear and tear, teeth grinding, and poor oral care can take a toll on your teeth, causing them to become weak and worn. Weak teeth are easy prey to bacterial infections and decay, which can destroy their usefulness. Dr. Eckland can use same-day crowns to protect fragile teeth from decay, infection, or damage and salvage their usefulness for the future. 

4. Root Canal Tooth

Root canal treatment is designed to save a severely infected tooth. The procedure, however, calls for the diseased pulp of the tooth to be removed. This leaves a hollow tooth that’s prone to fracture due to its brittle structure. Dr. Eckland can reinforce its structure by topping your root canal tooth with a crown to make it fully functional again.   

5. Missing Tooth

A same-day crown can replace a missing tooth with a single dental implant. Dr. Eckland can cover the implant with a temporary crown so you’ll have a functional tooth for the osseointegration process. After the implant has healed, we can replace it with a porcelain crown to restore your lost tooth permanently.
