Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs
Have questions? We have answers!
No, most of our patients report minimal to no discomfort. The procedure for receiving same-day crowns or bridges is no more uncomfortable than that for traditional restorations. We use effective local anesthesia to numb the area and ensure you experience no pain during preparation or placement. You may experience minor soreness after the anesthesia wears off, but this is easily managed with over-the-counter medication.
Most dental insurance plans provide coverage for same-day crowns and bridges just as they do for traditional lab-made restorations. However, coverage levels can vary based on your specific plan details. Our team will be happy to review your insurance policy and provide an estimate of any out-of-pocket costs before beginning your treatment.
Absolutely. The same-day crowns and bridges we create use advanced ceramic materials that match or even exceed the strength and durability of restorations made through conventional processes. These materials closely mimic natural tooth enamel while providing exceptional resilience.
With proper care and good oral hygiene habits, same-day crowns and bridges can last just as long as traditional restorations made from the same high-quality ceramics, often 10 years or more. Their longevity depends on factors like avoiding teeth grinding, limiting hard/sticky foods that can dislodge them, and keeping up with regular professional cleanings at Heron Lakes Dentistry.
