At Gateway Oral Health Center, we are always looking for ways to expand the variety of oral health services we offer, and we provide the same-day crown procedure that could be right for you. Learn more below and give us a call to schedule an appointment.
What Are Some of the Reasons Why You Might Need a Dental Crown?
There are plenty of reasons why we recommend a dental crown. Our top priority is to save your tooth, and if we think a dental crown is the best way to do so, we will recommend it.
Some of the most common reasons why we might suggest a dental crown include the following:
- We recommend a dental crown if you have just completed root canal therapy. A crown is important because it can protect that tooth and restore it to its original function.
- We may also recommend a dental crown to replace a missing tooth. For example, if you are interested in a dental bridge, dental crowns are placed on the adjoining teeth to anchor the false tooth used to fill the gap and replace the missing tooth.
- If you have a tooth that has suffered severe damage due to trauma or oral decay, we may recommend a dental crown to save the tooth.
We will discuss whether a dental crown is suitable for your needs.
How Does the Same-Day Crown Procedure Work?
If you are interested in getting a dental crown, we can provide one in a single appointment. First, you should give us a call to schedule an appointment. Then, when you arrive, Dr. Bryce Eagar will prepare your tooth and then, using a special intraoral camera and the CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing) technology, will create a 3D model of your dental crown.

We will place the crown in your mouth and make sure it fits perfectly before we finish.
