Same Day Porcelain Crown

Same day crowns are convenient, esthetic and lost lasting solutions for teeth that need a crown. Traditional crowns required two appointments with the hassle of a temporary crown for a few weeks while the lab creates a crown. With the CAD/CAM system at Springwoods Village Dental these crowns can be made by the doctor in a single visit, saving you the time of having to return for a second appointment and the hassle of having to wear a temporary crown. They are esthetic and have excellent durability and provides you with the peace of mind that the crown is made by the doctor, not a lab technician.
