How Long Does it Take to Fit a Dental Crown?

At Anderson Dental Care, we offer same-day crown procedures using advanced milling machine technology, which allows us to design, create, and place your custom crown the next day. During the procedure, we begin by taking precise digital impressions of your tooth, eliminating the need for messy molds.

The system then uses these digital images to create a 3D model of your crown, which is milled out of a solid ceramic block right in our office. Once the crown is ready, we will ensure it fits perfectly, make any necessary adjustments, and bond it securely in place. This process eliminates the need for temporary crowns and multiple appointments, making it a convenient and efficient solution for restoring your smile.

Do I Need a Dental Crown?

Crown and bridgework is a very reliable solution for major dental problems caused through accidents, diseases or wear and tear.

Major problems can usually be corrected using these techniques. Material used in these repairs is either high-grade porcelain or porcelain bonded to gold. A higher strength of the porcelain and gold materials is recommended to treat the most serious of dental problems.

Where accidental damage has occurred, resulting in lost teeth, or where teeth have broken away through excessive wear, or as the result of old fillings breaking, dental crowns and/or dental bridges can be used as a long-term solution.

Many people have unexplained pain from filled back teeth, which is usually due to hairline cracks in the chewing part of the tooth. Placing crowns on these teeth relieves the pain and allows a return of full dental function for these teeth. In front teeth, older fillings can both weaken the teeth and cause “appearance” problems due to staining or chipping. Porcelain crowns and bridges are suitable in cases where porcelain veneers are not. In teeth with root canal fillings, crowns can prevent breakage.

Types of Dental Crowns

Porcelain Crowns

These crowns are commonly used for front teeth because they are translucent and offer a very natural appearance. They are durable, but not as strong as other materials, so they are not recommended for teeth that are used for chewing or biting. 

Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns (PFM)

This type of crown is best for molars or teeth in the back of the mouth that need more durability and strength. These crowns have a metal base that provides a secure base with a porcelain outer layer to preserve the natural look of the tooth. 

Metal Crowns

Metal crowns are made from gold or other alloys that are extremely strong and durable. They are long-lasting and work best on molars or teeth that are less visible because they can withstand heavy chewing. Their downfall is that they are visible in the mouth, so they are not recommended for front teeth.

Resin Crowns

Resin crowns are the cheapest type of crown, but are not considered a long-lasting solution. They have a natural look, but are not considered as strong as porcelain or metal crowns. 

Zirconia Crowns

Zirconia crowns are made from a special type of ceramic that is extremely strong and durable. The major benefit of zirconia crowns is that they offer the durability of a metal crown, but are safe for patients who are sensitive or allergic to alloy metals.
