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.

Did you know that brushing your teeth after every meal isn’t enough to avoid dental cavities? The bristles on your toothbrush cannot reach between your teeth to pull out food particles or residue. So it doesn’t matter how many times you brush. These particles will stay put. To deal with these hard to reach spaces, you need to floss your teeth at least once a day.

Experts agree that children need food from all the major food groups to grow properly and stay healthy.
