For most people, getting a dental crown means weeks of inconvenience: temporary crowns that feel awkward, multiple appointments that disrupt your schedule, and worrying about whether that temporary will hold up until your permanent crown arrives. But there is a better way!
At Hood Dental Care, advanced same-day crown technology is changing the game for patients at our 5 locations. Instead of waiting weeks in discomfort, you can walk in with a damaged tooth and walk out the same day with a permanent, custom-fitted crown—eliminating the wait, the worry, and the unnecessary pain.
The Problem with Traditional Crowns
Traditional crown procedures require at least two separate appointments spread over several weeks. Here’s what that typically looks like:
Appointment 1: Your tooth is prepared, impressions are taken, and a temporary crown is placed while a dental lab fabricates your permanent crown off-site.
The Waiting Period: For 2-3 weeks, you’re stuck with a temporary crown that can feel bulky, come loose, or cause sensitivity. You have to be careful about what you eat, how you chew, and constantly worry about whether it will hold up.
Appointment 2: The temporary is removed and your permanent crown is finally cemented in place—if it fits properly. Sometimes adjustments are needed, extending the process even further.
During this entire time, you’re dealing with discomfort, dietary restrictions, and the anxiety of living with a temporary solution. For busy families juggling work, school, and activities, finding time for multiple appointments can be a significant challenge.
The Same-Day Crown Advantage
Hood Dental Care has invested in cutting-edge CEREC technology that allows them to design, fabricate, and place permanent crowns in a single visit—typically in just a few hours. This isn’t a temporary fix or a compromise on quality. These are durable, custom-made porcelain crowns that match your natural teeth perfectly.
Here’s how the same-day process works:
- Digital Imaging: Instead of messy impression trays, a digital scanner captures precise 3D images of your tooth.
- Custom Design: Using advanced software, your crown is designed on-site to fit your tooth perfectly and match your bite.
- In-Office Fabrication: A specialized milling machine creates your permanent crown right there in the office while you wait.
- Same-Day Placement: Your custom crown is polished, color-matched, and permanently bonded to your tooth—all in one appointment.
No temporary crown. No second appointment. No weeks of waiting and worrying.
Why Same-Day Crowns Make Sense
For Your Comfort: Living with a damaged or sensitive tooth is painful. Why endure weeks of discomfort when you can have a permanent solution in hours? Same-day crowns eliminate the prolonged pain and sensitivity that comes with waiting for traditional crowns.
For Your Schedule: One appointment means one day off work, one afternoon away from your responsibilities, one trip to coordinate childcare. For busy Louisiana families, the time savings alone make same-day crowns worth considering.
For Your Peace of Mind: Temporary crowns can fail at the worst possible moments—during an important meeting, at a family dinner, or while you’re traveling. Same-day permanent crowns eliminate that anxiety completely.
For Quality Results: Because same-day crowns are designed and placed by the same dentist who examined your tooth, there’s no communication gap with an outside lab. Your dentist can make real-time adjustments to ensure a perfect fit, proper bite, and natural appearance.
Real Scenarios Where Same-Day Crowns Shine
The Cracked Tooth: You bite down on something hard and feel that sickening crack. Instead of spending weeks in pain and worry, you can have a permanent crown placed the same day at Hood Dental Care, getting back to normal life immediately.
The Old Filling That Failed: A large filling breaks or falls out, leaving your tooth vulnerable and sensitive. Rather than limping along with a temporary solution for weeks, you walk out with a permanent crown that protects and strengthens your tooth.
The Busy Professional: You have back-to-back meetings, travel scheduled, or deadlines looming. Multiple dental appointments just aren’t realistic. Same-day crowns let you address the problem without derailing your entire schedule.
The Anxious Patient: If dental visits make you nervous, the thought of two separate appointments can be overwhelming. Getting everything done in one visit significantly reduces anxiety and gets you back to your regular routine faster.
