Same-Day Crowns
Is a Same-Day Crown as Good as a Traditional Crown?
Dental crowns save severely decayed or damaged teeth from getting extracted. This tooth-like cap sits over your tooth and allows you to resume everyday functions with ease, like eating and speaking.
However, if you’ve had one in the past, you know how cumbersome the process is:
That’s why we’re excited to offer you a faster alternative without compromising quality! CEREC same-day crowns are made using advanced 3D technology, allowing Dr. Giesy to design, create, and place your new crown in a single visit.
The whole process is quick, convenient, and comfortable!
The Benefits of Same-Day Crowns in Tacoma, WA
Long Lasting
CEREC crowns are made from high-quality, durable material. With proper care, they’ll last just as long as traditional crowns, with an average lifespan of 5 to 15 years.
Natural Looking
Each crown is custom designed to match the surrounding teeth, making it look natural. No one will tell the difference!
Save Time & Money
There isn’t much of a price difference between CEREC and lab-made crowns. However, you’ll save time and money by avoiding multiple visits.
No Temporaries
Since we create your permanent crown in our office, you won’t have to wear a temporary crown or worry about it breaking or falling off.
No Messy Impressions
Manual impressions involve a putty substance that’s quite unpleasant. CEREC crowns rely on quick and painless digital imaging.
Comfortable
CEREC technology is exceptionally detailed, which helps create better fitting crowns. It also better protects your tooth underneath from decay and damage.
