Same-Day Crowns
Dental crowns traditionally require at least two office visits and the use of a temporary restoration.
We offer same-day crowns to save you both time and money.
Check out why so many turn to Parkway Dental in Albuquerque, NM, for this modern solution...
The CEREC system allows our Albuquerque dentistry team to design and fabricate your custom permanent crown in one office visit.
Same-Day Dental Crown Procedure
During your consultation, our dentistry team will evaluate the structure of your smile and assess your oral health to determine if you are a candidate for treatment. Here are the steps you can expect during the procedure:
Anesthesia
If you qualify for a same-day crown, we can begin by numbing the tooth and gums for your comfort. Sedation options are also available to keep you comfortable if desired.
Prepping the Tooth
We will remove all compromised tissue before reshaping the tooth. This process is usually necessary to restore your health and ensure that your crown will fit correctly in your smile.
Dental Impressions
We can then take digital impressions using CEREC technology. Unlike traditional impressions, which require messy dental putty, digital impressions are fast, clean, and convenient.
Designing the Crown
Once the impressions have been taken, we can upload them directly onto a computer screen. We can then design the crown to match your tooth shade and dental anatomy.
Crown Fabrication
We then send the information to our on-site milling machine. Over the next one to two hours, this unit can manufacture your crown from a solid block of medical-grade porcelain.
Placement of Crown
After your crown is complete, we can assess the fit. If no adjustments are needed, we can secure your porcelain restoration in place with dental cement.

There are several reasons why your Albuquerque, NM, dentist may recommend a dental crown:

Small cavities can be repaired with a simple dental filling. However, your Albuquerque, NM dentist may recommend a dental crown for more advanced areas of decay.

Trauma such as falls, sporting injuries, or vehicular accidents can lead to broken or fractured teeth. Crowns can add strength to a damaged tooth to protect oral health.

Teeth that have been weakened by previous dental work may need a crown for additional stability. Your dentist may add a crown after root canal treatment as well.

Dental crowns can also serve a cosmetic purpose. If you have chips, cracks, or discoloration, crowns can conceal these imperfections and enhance your smile.

In addition to strengthening natural teeth, crowns can also restore dental implants, which are small titanium posts placed in the jaw to replace missing tooth roots.
