Here at Alpine Dental & Dentures serving Gaithersburg and Kensington, MD communities, we specialize in comprehensive, efficient care fitting busy patients’ lives seamlessly.
One question recurring involves whether dentistry involving multiple steps like crowns can occur in a single appointment, or demand multiple disruptive trips. We break down crown procedures’ flow and modern capabilities empowering remarkable timesaving.
In the past, multi-visit treatment requiring weeks of completion understandably frustrated hardworking folks. However, enhanced skill, technology, and chairside materials now reduce crown work significantly.
Once determining a restoration best remedies a problem through exam and X-rays, dentists first precisely shape and smooth the affected tooth into ideal crown-receiving form through careful removal of its chewing surfaces in 1-2 hours.
This preparation stage meticulously alters tooth anatomy comfortably accommodating a custom prosthetic replacement’s fit and strength. We numb sensation thoroughly ensuring zero discomfort.
Then, temporary tooth-colored crowns cement over raw prepped teeth as placeholders resembling your beautiful impending new crown until its fabrication and cementation appointment within days, not weeks!
This interim appliance maintains intact bite alignment and aesthetics between appointments keeping daily functions smooth without annoying gaps, sensitivity, or weak chewing until the crown arrives.
Our digital intraoral scanners then capture prepared tooth’s exact geometry sending specs electronically to qualified labs crafting permanent crowns utilizing 21st century design speed.
Within mere days, crowns return ready for simple try-in and cementation appointments replacing temporaries. Now, all critical tooth restoration procedures transpire within convenient single week timeframes versus past multi-week sequences without sacrificing quality or perfection!
