There\u2019s a lot of talk these days about same-day crowns in Annapolis.<\/a> But do the results match the message you\u2019ve heard? In this post we\u2019ll talk about this important topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Benefits of Modern Digital Technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dental medicine is a\ndemanding profession. Not only must dentists have plenty of textbook knowledge,\nthey must also have a high degree of manual dexterity as well as a keen eye.\nThis is because dental prosthetic such as crowns must match the patient\u2019s mouth\nwith incredible accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past, the only way to\nachieve precision results was for the dentist to create a mold of the patient\u2019s\nteeth and send this off to a distant dental lab. Technicians at that site would\ncreate the actual crown or other restoration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This process could take up to\nfour weeks to complete. In the meantime, the patient had no choice but to\nendure discomfort and wait for the crown to arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those days are now in the\npast thanks to modern dental technology. Same-day crowns enable patients to\nreceive their restoration on the same day as their exam. The dentist uses a\nsmall digital scanning device to create an ultraprecise image of the patient\u2019s\noral profile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This information is uploaded\nto an on-site device that creates the actual crown. This technology is\nessentially a more powerful version of the 3-D printers you may have seen or\nread about. The dentist completes the restoration and the patient walks out with\nthe finished crown in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Same-Day Crowns Are Better<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most patients prefer the same-day\ncrown approach to older methods. Here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
