At RK Dentistry, Richard J. Koeltl, DDS, we understand that your time is valuable. We want to make your dental services as fast and convenient as possible. Thanks to evolving technology, restorations that used to take several appointments to complete can now be done in a single appointment! This includes our one-visit dental crowns created right in our practice for same-day fabrication and placement! Patients in and around Danville, California, seeking dental crowns will want to learn about the benefits of same-day restorations!
Traditionally, dental offices require at least two appointments to complete a dental crown. The first visit involves an initial consultation and preparation of the natural tooth needing the crown. The tooth’s natural enamel is shaved down, and impressions are made using a messy ingredient. These are then sent off to an outside laboratory to fabricate the new restoration for the patient based on the dentist’s instructions. A temporary crown is bonded onto the prepared tooth to protect it until the next appointment when patients return to have it removed and replaced with their final dental crown.
Fortunately, there’s a better way! Dr. Richard J. Koeltl and his team start with preparations of the tooth in much the same way. Then, instead of using messy goop to create a mold for the natural tooth, digital impressions are taken within seconds to get the contours of your tooth into our system. Then, using specialized software, we have a milling device that will fabricate the dental crown out of a small block of porcelain while patients wait. This eliminates added time and appointments and allows for a same-day restoration that looks just as natural as the remaining teeth!
Our advanced technology that is used to fabricate same-day dental crowns allows us to create restorations that are just as durable, strong, and beautiful as those created at outside laboratories. Instead of waiting weeks for your final crown, you only wait minutes! This makes getting dental work completed fast, easy, and simple for even the busiest patients and families!
