The Process
At Platte Valley Dental Clinic, we believe high-quality dental care should fit your schedule. We are proud to offer Same-Day Dental Crowns using state-of-the-art CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing) technology.
Traditionally, getting a crown required two separate appointments and a two-week waiting period while a distant lab fabricated your restoration. With our in-office digital milling system, we bring the lab to you.
Why Choose a Same-Day Crown?
One-Visit Convenience: Complete the entire process in a single sitting.
Digital Precision: We use a high-definition intraoral scanner to create a precise 3D model of your teeth. This means no more gagging on messy, traditional impression “putty.”
No Temporaries: Since your permanent crown is made on-site while you wait, there is no need for a temporary crown that might break or fall off.
Natural Esthetics: Dr. Ahrens custom-matches the ceramic material to the exact shade and translucency of your surrounding teeth for a seamless, beautiful look.
The Process:
- Digital Impression: After the tooth is prepared, we capture a 360-degree digital scan.
- Custom Design: Dr. Ahrens uses specialized software to design your crown with exacting detail right in the exam room.
- On-Site Milling: Our precision milling machine carves your custom crown from a high-strength, tooth-colored ceramic block.
- Final Placement: We bond the crown securely in place, ensuring your bite is perfect before you leave our office
