Remember when getting a dental crown meant multiple appointments, a temporary crown that always seemed to fall off at the worst time, and weeks of waiting? Those days are behind us.
At Las Cruces Dental Solutions, we offer same-day crowns right here in Las Cruces. That means you can come in with a damaged or decayed tooth and leave the same day with a permanent, beautiful crown in place.
How Does It Work?
Same-day crowns are made possible by advanced dental technology called CEREC (or CAD/CAM technology). Here is the basic process:
- Dr. Trujillo examines your tooth and prepares it for the crown.
- A digital scan is taken of your tooth (no messy impressions).
- The crown is designed using specialized software right in the office.
- A milling machine crafts your custom crown from a ceramic block in about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Dr. Trujillo checks the fit and bonds it in place.
The whole visit typically takes a few hours, and you walk out with a finished, permanent crown.
Why Patients Love This Option
The convenience factor is huge. No one wants to take two or three days off work for dental appointments. With same-day crowns, you handle it all in one visit and get back to your life.
There is also no temporary crown to worry about. Temporary crowns can crack, fall off, or cause sensitivity. Skipping that step entirely is a big relief for a lot of patients.
Is a Same-Day Crown Right for You?
Same-day crowns work well for most situations involving cracked, decayed, or broken teeth, as well as teeth that need to be capped after a root canal. The best way to know if it is the right option for your specific tooth is to come in for a consultation.
Dr. Trujillo will take a look, walk you through your options, and give you an honest recommendation.
Why spend weeks dealing with a damaged tooth? Schedule your visit with Dr. Trujillo and the team at Las Cruces Dental Solutions and see if a same-day crown is right for you.
