Same-Day Dental Crowns

At Shelly Ereth Barone, we understand that your time is valuable. That is why we offer same-day dental crowns, a modern solution for restoring your smile in a single visit. Using advanced CAD/CAM technology, we can design, create and place a custom dental crown all in one day, eliminating the need for multiple appointments and temporary crowns.

Dental crowns are used to protect and restore teeth that are damaged, decayed or weakened. Traditionally, the process involved at least two visits: one for preparing the tooth and taking impressions, and another to place the crown after it was crafted in a lab. Same-day crowns streamline this process, saving you time while delivering the same durability and quality as traditional crowns.

The process begins with a detailed digital scan of your tooth, which replaces the need for messy impressions. Using this 3D image, our team designs a crown that matches the shape, size and color of your natural teeth. The design is then sent to an in-office milling machine, which crafts the crown from a high-quality ceramic material. Once the crown is ready, it is bonded to your tooth, providing immediate protection and functionality.

Same-day crowns are an excellent choice for patients with busy schedules who want efficient, high-quality care. They are also ideal for those who prefer to avoid the temporary crowns typically used in traditional treatments, as these can sometimes cause discomfort or come loose.

In addition to their convenience, same-day crowns are durable and aesthetically pleasing. The ceramic material mimics the look and feel of natural teeth, allowing you to smile confidently without worrying about a noticeable restoration.

If you have a damaged or weakened tooth, same-day crowns may be the perfect solution for restoring your smile quickly and effectively.

Let us show you how same-day dental crowns in Metairie, Louisiana, can transform your smile and simplify your dental care.
