Modern dentistry offers more options than ever to help you restore and maintain an optimal level of health. While the strength and beauty of materials continue to advance, the skill of the practitioner makes a significant difference. Dr. Gary Hoopes and Dr. Brett Hoopes use the latest techniques, bringing even the most damaged mouths back to full health.
Sometimes, teeth are damaged by cavities, heavy bite forces, or trauma. The tooth may be especially fragile if a root canal is needed to salvage a compromised nerve. Dental crowns, or caps, allow these teeth to be rebuilt and covered with materials that mimic nature. Not only are most “capped” teeth indistinguishable from natural teeth, but they’re also extremely secure and comfortable.
Getting a traditional crown takes two visits to our office. Here's what you can expect: First Appointment: We will prepare your tooth by removing a thin outer layer to create space for the crown material. Impressions or digital scans are taken of your teeth to create a model for the crown fabrication. A temporary crown is placed over the prepared tooth to protect it. Second Appointment: The temporary crown is removed. We will carefully check your new custom-made permanent crown for proper fit and bite. The crown is then cemented securely into place on your prepared tooth. We will make any final adjustments to ensure a comfortable bite.
At Hoopes Dental, we are committed to providing our patients with the latest advancements in dental technology to ensure efficient, convenient, and high-quality care. With our same-day crown service, you can restore your smile in just one visit without needing multiple appointments or temporary restorations. Dr. Gary Hoopes and Dr. Brett Hoopes offer a streamlined process for obtaining same-day crowns. Here’s what you can expect during your same-day crown procedure at Hoopes Dental:
Step 1: Consultation and Examination
Your same-day crown begins with a comprehensive consultation and examination with one of our skilled dentists, Dr. Gary Hoopes or Dr. Brett Hoopes. During this visit, we will assess your oral health, discuss your treatment goals and preferences, and determine if a same-day crown is the right option. We will also take digital impressions of your teeth using our advanced scanning technology to create a custom crown that fits seamlessly with your natural dentition.
Step 2: Digital Design and Planning
Once we have gathered all the necessary information, our team will use our state-of-the-art CAD/CAM technology to design your same-day crown digitally. This process allows us to customize your crown’s size, shape, and color with precision, ensuring optimal aesthetics and functionality. With digital design capabilities, we can create a virtual model of your crown and make any necessary adjustments before fabrication begins.
Step 3: Fabrication of the Crown
Our in-house milling unit will fabricate your same-day crown from a durable, lifelike ceramic material. Our milling technology enables us to produce crowns quickly and accurately, eliminating the need for off-site laboratories and long wait times. While your crown is being fabricated, you can relax comfortably in our office, knowing your new restoration will be ready soon.
Step 4: Placement of the Crown
Once your same-day crown is ready, our team will proceed with the placement procedure. We will carefully place the crown over the prepared tooth and ensure that it fits snugly and securely. Dr. Gary Hoopes or Dr. Brett Hoopes will make any necessary adjustments to ensure proper alignment and bite function. You can expect a comfortable and long-lasting result with our precise placement techniques.
Step 5: Final Adjustments and Polishing
After the crown is securely in place, our team will perform final adjustments to ensure that it blends seamlessly with your natural teeth and provides optimal function. We will polish the crown to a smooth finish, enhancing its appearance and minimizing plaque accumulation. Before you leave our office, we will provide you with care instructions and answer any questions you may have about caring for your new crown.
Step 6: Follow-Up Care
At Hoopes Dental, we value the long-term success of your dental restorations. We will schedule a follow-up appointment to evaluate the fit and function of your same-day crown and address any concerns you may have. Our goal is to ensure that you are fully satisfied with your new restoration and that it provides years of reliable performance.
