Same-Day Crowns in Pittsburgh, PA

At Ott Family Dentistry in Pittsburgh, PA, we understand that your time is valuable, and dental care should fit seamlessly into your busy life. That’s why we are proud to offer same-day crowns using advanced CEREC technology. Same-day crowns provide a quick, convenient solution for restoring damaged or decayed teeth in just one visit, without compromising on quality or aesthetics. Dr. Samir Gupta, Dr. Gordon Ott, and our skilled team are committed to delivering beautiful, durable crowns that restore your smile in a single appointment.

What Are Same-Day Crowns?

Same-day crowns are custom-made dental crowns that are designed, fabricated, and placed in a single dental visit. Unlike traditional crowns, which require multiple visits and the use of temporary crowns, same-day crowns are created using state-of-the-art CEREC technology (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics). This advanced system allows us to design and mill your crown on-site, ensuring a perfect fit and a natural-looking restoration—all in just one day.

When Are Same-Day Crowns Needed?

Same-day crowns are an excellent option for addressing various dental issues, including:

Cracked or Broken Teeth: A same-day crown can restore the strength and appearance of a tooth that has been cracked or broken due to injury or decay.
Severely Decayed Teeth: When a tooth is too damaged by decay to be restored with a filling, a same-day crown can provide the necessary protection and support.
Worn Teeth: Teeth that have been worn down due to grinding or other factors can be rebuilt and protected with a same-day crown.
Replacement of Old Crowns: If you have an old or failing crown that needs to be replaced, a same-day crown offers a fast and effective solution.
Post-Root Canal Treatment: After a root canal, a same-day crown can be placed to protect the treated tooth and restore its function.

If you’re experiencing any of these issues, our restorative dentistry services can help determine if a same-day crown is the right solution for you.

The Same-Day Crown Process at Ott Family Dentistry

At Ott Family Dentistry, we make the process of getting a same-day crown simple, efficient, and comfortable. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:

Comprehensive Examination: Your appointment begins with a thorough examination by Dr. Gupta or Dr. Ott. We’ll assess the condition of your tooth and discuss your treatment options. If a same-day crown is recommended, we’ll explain the process in detail and answer any questions you may have.
Digital Impressions: Once you’re ready to proceed, we’ll use CEREC’s advanced digital imaging technology to take precise 3D scans of your tooth. These digital impressions are used to create a detailed model of your tooth, eliminating the need for messy traditional impressions.
Custom Crown Design: Using the digital model, Dr. Gupta or Dr. Ott will design your custom crown on a computer. The design process is quick and allows us to ensure that the crown matches the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth.
Crown Fabrication: Once the design is complete, the CEREC milling machine will fabricate your crown from a high-quality ceramic block right here in our office. The milling process typically takes about 15 to 20 minutes.
Crown Placement: After your crown is fabricated, Dr. Gupta or Dr. Ott will check the fit and make any necessary adjustments. Once the crown is perfect, it will be permanently bonded to your tooth. You’ll leave our office with a fully restored smile—all in just one visit.

Benefits of Same-Day Crowns

Same-day crowns offer several advantages that make them an ideal choice for many patients:

Time-Saving: The entire process of getting a crown, from preparation to placement, is completed in a single visit, saving you time and the hassle of multiple appointments.
No Temporary Crowns: With same-day crowns, there’s no need for a temporary crown, which can be uncomfortable and prone to falling off.
Precise Fit: Digital impressions and computer-aided design ensure that your crown fits perfectly and blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Durability: Same-day crowns are made from high-quality ceramic materials that are strong, durable, and resistant to wear.
Aesthetic Appeal: The ceramic material used for same-day crowns closely matches the color and translucency of natural teeth, providing a beautiful and natural-looking restoration.

Maintaining Your Same-Day Crown

With proper care, your same-day crown can last for many years. To keep your crown in optimal condition, follow these tips:

Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: Brush your teeth at least twice a day, floss daily, and visit our office regularly for cleanings and exams to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
Avoid Hard Foods: While same-day crowns are durable, it’s best to avoid biting down on very hard foods like ice or hard candies, which could damage your crown.
Regular Dental Check-Ups: Regular visits to Ott Family Dentistry will allow us to monitor the condition of your crown and ensure your overall oral health.
