Damaged teeth can make chewing and speaking uncomfortable, while untreated tooth decay can cause irritation and sensitivity that can become increasingly painful over time. If your tooth roots and pulp are healthy, our team can typically restore your tooth with a same-day dental crown at NuSmile.
Dr. Jeremy Thompson has many years of experience in cosmetic dentistry, including crafting beautiful same-day tooth crowns and bridges with our CAD/CAM 5-axis milling unit. Whether you need a single dental crown or have a missing tooth and need a dental bridge in Saratoga Springs, UT, you’ll be amazed at how a custom-made, premium-quality restoration can improve your dental function and aesthetics!
Dental crowns restore normal chewing function to teeth with extensive decay, large fillings, and cracks, as well as protect weakened teeth after a root canal procedure. As a cosmetic treatment, a zirconia same-day tooth crown in Saratoga Springs, UT can significantly improve the appearance of discolored, whitening-resistant, or misshapen/uneven teeth.
When you get a dental bridge at NuSmile, two supporting teeth need to be modified and crowned to support the pontic (false tooth) in the empty tooth socket. While a traditional dental bridge restores aesthetics and function after tooth loss, an implant-retained bridge may be a better choice if you have two missing teeth in a row.
Outsourced crowns take several weeks to create and require the temporary wearing of a composite resin tooth cap, which typically feels awkward. Some dentists use temporary cement to enable you to test out the final crown before it’s permanently placed. And even then, an occlusal adjustment may be needed to file down high points after it is permanently cemented in place. Same-day crowns offer many benefits, including:
Our in-house milling machine enables Dr. Thompson and our dental lab technician to mill convenient same-day restorations. Advanced technology makes it possible to take digital impressions of your mouth, design your restoration in 10 minutes, mill it from a zirconia ceramic block in another 10, and fire it in 2 hours for natural-looking 3-hour crowns!
At NuSmile, we offer highly competitive pricing for same-day dental crowns and bridges. You can also take advantage of our annual membership plan that provides a 15% discount on restorative procedures like crowns and bridges, in addition to covering preventive care.
Our front office staff is happy to submit insurance claims on your behalf and help you find the best third-party financing plan to fit your needs. We believe in open communication and transparent pricing, so we’ll discuss this with you before treatment commences.
Same-day zirconia crowns and bridges are known for their exceptional strength and longevity, often lasting 10–15 years or longer with proper care. Zirconia is highly resistant to wear and fractures, making it ideal for both front and back teeth. Maintaining good oral hygiene and scheduling routine dental care can help extend their lifespan.
Getting zirconia crowns or bridges is typically a comfortable procedure performed with local anesthesia. Most patients experience little to no discomfort during treatment, while any mild sensitivity afterward usually resolves quickly. Because same-day restorations require less tooth modification and are completed in one visit, overall discomfort and recovery time are minimized.
Although NuSmile is a fee-for-service practice, your dental insurance may cover a portion of zirconia crowns and bridges in Saratoga Springs, UT, that restore dental function. We’ll provide an accurate estimate before treatment begins and even help you review your benefits to determine if you’ll be reimbursed.
Zirconia same-day crowns are suitable for most teeth, including molars that take the brunt of chewing forces. Likewise, a same-day bridge is usually a viable option for one missing tooth and sometimes even two missing teeth.
Dr. Thompson will determine your candidacy based on the extent of damage and your overall oral health. In some cases, he may recommend a single dental implant instead of a bridge.
