Same-Day Dental Crowns in Rio Rancho

Same-Day Dental Crowns

At Sandia View Family Dental in Rio Rancho, NM, we understand that dental issues requiring a crown can be inconvenient and disrupt your busy life. That's why we're proud to offer state-of-the-art same-day dental crowns, allowing you to restore your smile's function and appearance in just a single visit! Dr. Chris and his team utilize advanced CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic) technology, bringing speed, convenience, and exceptional quality to your restorative dental care.

How Do Same-Day Crowns Work?

Digital Impression

Instead of traditional messy impressions, we use a sophisticated intraoral scanner to take precise digital images of your prepared tooth. This comfortable and accurate method captures every detail needed for a perfect crown fit.

Computer-Aided Design (CAD)

 The digital scan is then used with specialized CAD software to create a virtual 3D model of your new crown. Dr. Chris will meticulously design the crown, ensuring it matches the shape, size, and contours of your surrounding teeth for a natural and seamless blend.

Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM)

Once the design is finalized, the digital information is sent to our in-house milling unit. This advanced machine precisely crafts your custom crown from a high-quality block of durable ceramic.

Customization and Placement

Dr. Chris will ensure the milled crown perfectly matches your natural tooth shade and make any necessary fine-tuning for optimal fit and aesthetics. Finally, the crown is securely bonded to your prepared tooth, providing a strong, long-lasting, and natural-looking restoration.

CEREC Same-Day Crowns

Imagine walking into our Rio Rancho dental office with a damaged tooth and leaving the same day with a beautiful, custom-fitted crown. With CEREC technology, this is a reality! Dr. Chris can design, create, and place your permanent, high-quality ceramic crown right here in our office during a single appointment.

With same-day crowns, there's no need to endure the discomfort, inconvenience, and potential issues associated with temporary restorations that can be ill-fitting or prone to breakage. Plus, you won't need to schedule a second appointment, saving you valuable time and minimizing disruption to your schedule. Instead, you'll enjoy the immediate benefits of a fully restored tooth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence again without delay.

Quality Crown Materials for Your Smile

Along with the convenience of same-day restorations, Sandia View Family Dental offers Emax and zirconia crowns to meet different restorative needs and aesthetic preferences. Both are tooth-colored ceramic materials, but each has unique qualities that help us choose the right fit for your smile.

  • Emax Ceramic Crowns: Made from lithium disilicate, a type of glass ceramic, Emax crowns combine strength with a lifelike appearance. The material allows light to pass through in a way that resembles natural tooth enamel, helping the crown blend with surrounding teeth. This makes Emax an appealing option for front teeth and other visible areas where appearance is especially important. We’ll evaluate your bite and the tooth being restored to determine whether Emax is suitable for you.
  • Zirconia Crowns: Zirconia is a strong ceramic material valued for its durability and resistance to everyday wear. It can be a good option for back teeth, which handle substantial chewing pressure, and may be recommended for patients who clench or grind their teeth. Modern zirconia materials also offer natural-looking shades and varying levels of translucency, allowing us to balance strength and appearance.

The best crown material depends on the tooth’s location, your bite, the amount of remaining tooth structure, and your cosmetic goals. Our team will explain your options, including whether your restoration can be completed in one visit.
