Same-Day Crowns - Phoenix, AZ
Fast-Track Solutions for Chipped or Missing Teeth
A dental crown or tooth cap in Phoenix, AZ, protects and strengthens a compromised tooth that can’t be restored with fillings, inlays, or onlays. A crown can also improve the appearance of misshapen, misaligned, or discolored teeth in a smile makeover, as well as protect a root canal-treated tooth.
With same-day crowns at Anderson Dental, a laser scanner captures the size, shape, color, and unique biting surface of your tooth. This ensures the finished crown looks completely natural and feels comfortable, while eliminating the need to fit you with a temporary crown. At the same time, the final one is crafted at a dental lab.
The E4D Dentist System is a state-of-the-art digital scanner, virtual design center, and milling unit capable of fabricating strong, aesthetic porcelain restorations. The advanced technology uses laser-scanning technology to capture an optical impression of your tooth.
With E4D, an extremely accurate impression is created in just a matter of seconds. This innovative technology allows you to leave our dental office with a permanent, natural-looking dental crown in Phoenix, AZ, in a single visit.
After Dr. Lori Anderson examines your tooth and determines you need a crown, a local anesthetic is administered to the tooth and surrounding soft tissue. While the E4D computer software designs the crown, Dr. Anderson removes a small amount of the natural tooth structure to ensure the dental crown lies evenly between your adjacent teeth and doesn’t create a high point when you bite down.
Finally, the completed restoration design is forwarded to the milling unit, where the tooth cap is fabricated in only 15 to 20 minutes from a solid block of dental composite or porcelain. Once the restoration is ready, Dr. Anderson uses hand instruments to put finishing touches on your beautiful new crown. After checking the fit and bite, the same-day crown is cemented to your prepared tooth.
Dental crowns at Anderson Dental are designed to withstand years of chewing and biting forces. Depending on the material chosen, a crown can last decades or even a lifetime with proper oral hygiene, regular dental checkups, and professional cleanings.
We understand that cost is a concern, which is why we offer flexible financing options. Anderson Dental also accepts Medicare. Before moving forward, our staff will contact your insurance provider to confirm coverage and estimate your out-of-pocket costs.
