There’s no such thing as a “convenient time” for a dental crown to break. It can happen mid-meeting, behind the wheel during your morning commute, on a client call, or as you're giving a presentation. Out of nowhere, you're trying to figure out how to fit an emergency dental visit into a calendar that already has no wiggle room.
Fortunately, at Uptown Prosthodontics, we leverage cutting-edge dental technology, including E4D digital scanning, the latest in dental ceramics, and in-office milling to design, fabricate, and place a permanent crown in a single appointment. Thanks to same-day dental crowns in Aurora, local professionals no longer have to deal with multiple visits and a two-week wait for top-quality dental restorations.
Why Traditional Crowns Take So Long
Conventional crowns typically require two separate appointments. At the first visit, Dr. John Chen prepares the tooth and takes an impression to be sent to an outside dental lab for fabrication. This process takes about two weeks. In the meantime, you get a temporary crown. Once the final restoration is ready, you’ll come in for a second appointment, during which Dr. Chen ensures a proper fit and permanently bonds the crown in place.
How Same-Day Crowns Cut That Timeline to a Single Visit
E4D technology eliminates the lab entirely. Using 3D digital scanning, Dr. Chen captures a precise digital impression of your tooth, from which we design the crown using special software. Then, in real-time, we mill your permanent crown from durable ceramic material right in the office.
What used to take two appointments and two weeks can now be completed in one visit!
Not Sacrificing Quality for Speed
Despite the faster timeline, same-day crowns aren't a shortcut on quality. Dr. Chen, a USC-trained prosthodontist specializing in restorative and reconstructive dentistry, uses the same precision and attention to fit and bite that goes into any lab-fabricated crown, just without the added wait.
Is a Same-Day Crown Right for Your Situation?
While many cases are well-suited to same-day treatment, more complex restorations still require lab-fabricated crowns. We will evaluate your tooth to determine the best path forward.
