BENEFITS OF SAME-DAY CROWNS FROM ATCHISON DENTAL

Results - WE STAND BY OUR WORK

In the past, patients in need of a dental crown had to make multiple trips to the dentist — plus wear a temporary restoration for weeks in between appointments. At Atchison Dental, that is no longer the case! Because we are experts with leading same-day crown technology, we can ensure a stunning result every time and further cut down your wait. Our technology enables us to take digital impressions and mill a new restoration in our office with seldom need for a second visit. That’s right — we can plan, mill and place your crown in one appointment!

With our same-day technology, we can take care of your ceramic crowns, inlay, and onlay restorative needs at maximum convenience for you.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Our high-tech equipment allows us to restore damaged teeth with beautiful customized ceramic crowns in a single visit, completely eliminating the need for multiple appointments over a several-weeks period.

• Scan. This laser scanning technology is not only extremely precise when capturing all of the details of your smile, but it is also safe!
• Design. After the scan, we custom-design your restoration to fit your oral condition using the chairside, computer-based design center. You can watch us design it on our monitor screen!
• Create. The customized design for your restoration is then transferred to the in-office milling unit where your restoration is made.
• Place. Shortly thereafter, our expert team will permanently place the restoration in your mouth.

FINANCING OPTIONS — A PRICE YOU CAN AFFORD

We don’t want the cost of a crown to keep you from receiving the treatment you need. Our team at Atchison Dental offers various financing options to make restorations more affordable, and we will work with you to create a payment plan that meets your needs and budget.

HIGH QUALITY MATERIALS — CHOSEN FOR YOU

There are several types of crowns available today and we want you to be familiar with the pros and cons of all of them. Porcelain (tooth-colored) crowns are the most popular restorations because they can be made to match the shape, size and color of your neighboring teeth. Other common materials include ceramic, zirconia, metal, and composite resin, and we will happily discuss why any of these options may or may not be a good fit for your smile.

CARE & SERVICES — WE TREAT YOU LIKE FAMILY

As with any treatment you receive at our office, we will look after you from start to finish. Our caring team will remain attentive to your needs, work at a pace that is appropriate for you to ensure your comfort and confidence through each step of your procedure. You will be treated like family.
