Same-day crowns are an ideal solution for restoring teeth that have been significantly damaged due to large cavities, cracks, or breaks from dental trauma, such as an accident or injury. These crowns cover and protect the entire tooth structure, preventing further damage while restoring both the appearance and function of the tooth.
In addition to cases of trauma or decay, same-day crowns are often used after root canal therapy, especially when the tooth has been weakened and needs extra protection. They help strengthen the tooth and maintain its function.
If there isn’t enough healthy tooth structure remaining to support a filling or other restorative treatments, same-day crowns can also provide the necessary coverage and stability, offering a durable solution to preserve the tooth.
If your tooth is damaged, severely decayed, or if you require urgent dental attention, a same-day crown might be necessary. It's important to consult your dentist if you're dealing with tooth pain, discomfort, or if you notice visible damage or discoloration of your teeth. Based on the specific dental problem you're facing, your dentist can suggest a same-day crown or an alternative restorative treatment.
A well-made and properly placed same-day crown can last up to 15 years. It’s crucial to maintain good oral health habits to enhance your crown’s longevity. These practices include brushing twice per day, flossing once per day, and seeing your dentist every 6 months for a professional cleaning and exam.
Your same-day crown can be cared for just as you would a natural tooth. Remember to brush thoroughly twice a day, each session lasting at least two minutes, covering every surface of each tooth. Daily flossing, ideally in the evening, is also crucial. This quick routine should include flossing along the tooth and under the gum line. Additionally, regular dental check-ups every six months are important to ensure the health of your dental work and overall oral health.
Insurance usually covers same-day dental crowns when they are needed for restorative reasons, like significant cavities or a broken tooth. The specific coverage amount will vary based on your policy's deductible and annual limits.
However, if you need a crown for cosmetic reasons, like concealing a discolored tooth, it might not be covered by insurance. We advise checking with your insurance provider to confirm coverage for your treatment.
Absolutely! A same-day crown effectively conceals any noticeable stains or chips on your tooth. This is particularly advantageous for front teeth that are more visible. Your dentist will ensure the crown matches the color of your surrounding teeth, seamlessly blending it with your smile.
