Expedite Your Dental Crown Treatment with iTero Crown Technology

The more active you are, the greater your risk of an accident damaging one or more of your teeth. A cracked or broken front tooth can impair your ability to chew and ruin your smile. Fortunately, damaged teeth can be fixed with dental crowns. Traditional crown treatment, however, can take weeks. At StarBrite Dental, Dublin, California, you can receive same-day crown treatment with iTero crowns for teeth. iTero natural-looking crowns can restore the beauty of your smile in one dental visit.

Traditional vs. Same-Day iTero Crowns: What’s the Difference?

Both traditional and iTero crowns are effective in repairing damaged teeth. The Difference lies in the creation process.  

Traditional crowns take longer to make as they’re fabricated in a lab away from your dental clinic. Your dentist prepares your tooth by shaving off some enamel to make room for your crown. Then impressions are taken of your tooth using putty. These impressions are sent to a lab where your crown is fabricated, which may take several weeks. In the meantime, your dentist will place a temporary crown over your tooth. Once your permanent crown is finished, you’ll return to the dentist to complete your treatment.

With iTero crowns, the entire process is completed in one dental visit. Dr. Munira Lokhandwala will prepare your tooth and take digital impressions using iTero Intraoral Scanner technology. These impressions are more precise than putty impressions and less time-consuming. Using these impressions, your Dublin dentist creates your porcelain crown onsite using an iTero mill while you relax comfortably in our clinical setting. Upon completing your crown, we’ll place it over your tooth to restore its structure, function, and appearance.
