Rochester MN Dentist Answers Questions about Same-Day Crowns

ROANOKE, Texas - Sept. 26, 2013 - PRLog -- In the past, dental crowns were made out of various metals. These crowns had the positive attributes of being very strong, but they were left lacking when it came to cosmetic results. In recent years, however, dental crowns have come a long way, turning to ceramic materials and a combination of ceramics and metals to create various dental crowns that combine strength and cosmetic appeal. However, the advances have not stopped there. With CEREC same-day crowns, it is now possible to receive a dental crown in a single dental visit. To learn more about these speedy restorations, read the following responses from your Rochester MN dentist (http://www.calcagnodds.com/), Dr. Calcagno.

Are same-day crowns a lower quality than other crowns?

No. The same-day crowns you will receive from your Rochester MN cosmetic dentist, Dr. Calcagno, offer the same results in strength and appearance that you can expect from a crown that is delivered according to the traditional time schedule. The only real difference between same-day crowns and crowns that are delivered over multiple dental visits is that with same-day crowns, the milling machine that makes the crown is located within the dental office. This means that no time is wasted waiting for an off-site lab to create the crown, thus yielding much quicker results.

What kind of cosmetic results can I expect from a same-day crown?

Same-day crowns are made of high quality ceramic materials that can closely replicate the translucence of natural teeth. This means that they will be able to reproduce the way that light interacts with a living tooth, allowing for a realistic sheen that makes it difficult to pick out a crown amongst the surrounding teeth.

What is involved in receiving a same-day crown?

The process of receiving a same-day crown requires 3D imaging, which will allow Dr. Calcagno to design your custom crown. Once the crown has been designed, Dr. Calcagno will send it to the milling machine. Once the crown has been milled, it will be stained, glazed, and finally placed.
