What Happens During an Appointment for One Visit Porcelain Crowns?

Getting crowns for damaged or broken teeth is a great way to make sure they’re protected from infections and other complications. Instead of waiting weeks for these dental restorations, you may be able to get them in one day! Our dentists in North Kansas City, MO and Westwood, KS, at NKC Dental offer one-day porcelain crowns. Here’s what to expect if you get this treatment.

Numbing the Tooth and Taking Scans

We need to numb the affected tooth before preparing it for a crown. After doing this, we take digital scans of your tooth and use those in the design process.

Designing a New Crown

Our dentist uses your tooth scans to create a custom design for your new crown. This helps ensure that it fits comfortably and stays in place securely, while also enhancing your smile.

Making a New Crown on the Spot

With one-visit porcelain crowns in Westwood, KS and North Kansas City, MO, new crowns are made on site using a milling machine. That means you don’t have to wear a temporary crown and come back in a couple of weeks when the permanent crown is ready.

Preparing Your Tooth

We usually need to remove some enamel from your tooth to make sure there’s enough room for the crown.

Placing the Crown and Ensuring a Secure Fit

Once the crown is ready, we’ll place it on your tooth and make sure it fits perfectly! If needed, we can make adjustments.
