If you have a problem with a front tooth, it can feel like a huge deal. You probably want to get it fixed as quickly as possible. But you always want it to look completely natural, like your natural tooth. At Wilmington Smiles, Dr. Gregory Garrett is a tooth crown dentist who can get you back to smiling confidently in just one appointment.
Getting a crown used to mean multiple trips to the dentist. You’d take off work and deal with a temporary crown, then return a couple of weeks later to have your permanent one placed. However, with same-day CEREC technology, the entire process is done in just one appointment. You can walk in with a damaged tooth and leave with a permanent, perfectly fitted porcelain crown two hours later.
Porcelain is great for front teeth because it reflects light just like natural enamel. Dr. Garrett uses CAD/CAM technology to ensure the color and shape match exactly and look just like natural teeth.
Instead of messy impression trays, a digital scanner takes a super-accurate 3D image of your tooth. Dr. Garrett will use CAD/CAM software to design a crown that fits with incredible precision. This means more comfort and a crown that functions like a natural tooth. You won’t have to deal with an awkward bite or a bulky feeling—just a normal, comfortable tooth.
You don’t have to walk around hiding your smile while waiting for a dental fix. A same-day crown means you get an immediate solution for both cosmetic and functional issues. Dr. Garrett can use porcelain crowns for front teeth to correct all sorts of problems. These include:
Juggling multiple dental appointments is a hassle. Same-day crowns eliminate that problem. You’re in and out in one visit. This also means you get to skip the temporary crown stage. Temporaries can be uncomfortable or even fall off, creating a whole new issue. With a same-day crown, you walk out with the final, permanent solution from the start. It’s a much simpler, more reliable process.
This isn’t a temporary patch. It’s a long-term solution. The ceramic used for same-day crowns is super strong and built to handle the daily pressures of biting and chewing. With good oral hygiene, your new crown can last 15 years or even more. To keep it in great shape and ensure it lasts, just stick to your regular dental checkups and cleanings every six months with Dr. Garrett and his team.
