Same-Day/CadCam Crowns
At Wychwood Dental, just one dental appointment is required to finish a same-day crown, sometimes referred to as a CadCam crown or a chairside crown. Thanks to the latest in technology, the dental crowns procedure has been revolutionized, offering patients several advantages over conventional crowns.
Convenience
Convenience is one of the key advantages of same-day crowns. Traditional crowns need at least two dental visits: one for the preliminary examination and planning and another for the actual crown implantation. Same-day crowns allow the procedure to be finished in a single visit, saving patients' time and trouble. Another benefit of CadCam crowns is there is no need for a temporary crown where you have to be so careful that it doesn’t fall out. Those with hectic schedules or those who live far from our Wychwood Dental office on St. Clair West will find this to be especially helpful.
