The Benefits of Same-Day Crowns at Clarksburg Dental Center
Posted on April 13th, 2025
Clarksburg Dental Center in Germantown, MD, is proud to offer same-day crowns. This innovative solution allows you to receive a custom-fitted crown in just one visit, so you won’t have to schedule multiple appointments and deal with temporary crowns. If you need a convenient and reliable way to restore your smile, same-day crowns in Germantown, MD, might be the perfect choice for you.
“One of the best things about dentistry is combining technology with personalized care to achieve a great outcome for the patient in the chair,” says Dr. Chung Lin, DDS. “Same-day crowns are a game-changer for people who need convenience and quality, and who doesn’t need that?”
Same-day crowns are custom dental restorations designed, fabricated, and placed in a single visit. Unlike traditional crowns, which typically require multiple appointments and temporary solutions, same-day crowns streamline the process using state-of-the-art technology.
How They Differ from Traditional Crowns
Traditional crowns involve taking physical impressions with a sticky material, sending them to a dental lab, and then waiting weeks for the final restoration. During this time, patients must wear a temporary crown, which may not fit as securely or look as natural.
On the other hand, same-day crowns are made using digital impressions, which are much faster and easier than goopy impression trays. Instead of being sent to a lab, the impressions are sent to a milling machine to create the crown on-site, so they can be fitted in the same appointment. No temporary crown or weeks of waiting.
The magic of same-day crowns lies in CAD/CAM technology. This advanced system combines computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) to create precise dental restorations. It works by taking detailed digital impressions of your teeth, designing your custom crown on a computer, and then milling it from a durable ceramic material—all right in our office.
At Clarksburg Dental Center, CAD/CAM technology simplifies what used to be a lengthy process, transforming it into a seamless and efficient experience. The result? Durable crowns that fit precisely and look natural.
Probably the most significant advantage of same-day crowns is the time savings. For busy professionals, parents, or anyone with a packed schedule, the ability to complete the entire crown process in a single appointment is invaluable. You won’t have to take extra time away from work, the kids, or your social calendar.
Durable and Aesthetic Results
Same-day crowns are made from strong, tooth-colored ceramic materials that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Just like traditional crowns, they are designed to withstand daily wear and tear, ensuring a long-lasting and attractive restoration for your teeth.
At Clarksburg Dental Center, we love to stay up on modern dental technologies. In the case of same-day crowns, our expertise with CAD/CAM technology ensures your crown can be done quickly, with a precise fit that typically requires fewer adjustments. During the process, we’ll prioritize your comfort to create a stress-free experience. After all, we’re treating people, not just teeth!
