Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
How long does tooth whitening last?
In-chair whitening typically produces results that last between one and three years, depending on your diet and oral hygiene habits. Take-home whitening kits allow you to maintain your results between treatments.
Are porcelain veneers permanent?
Veneers are considered a long-term but not entirely permanent treatment, as a thin layer of enamel is removed before they are bonded to the tooth. With proper care, veneers can last ten years or more.
Will cosmetic treatment affect the health of my teeth?
All cosmetic treatments we offer are performed with your overall oral health as a priority. We will never recommend a cosmetic procedure that compromises the long-term health or function of your teeth.
Can I combine multiple cosmetic treatments?
Yes, many patients choose to combine treatments such as whitening and bonding or veneers and recontouring to achieve a more comprehensive result. We will help you plan a treatment pathway that suits your timeline and budget.
Same Day Crowns: A Permanent Crown & Bridge in a Single Appointment
Using the latest chairside technology, Hedland Dental Care in Port Hedland, WA, can design, create, and fit a permanent ceramic crown or bridge in a single visit, so you can walk in with a damaged tooth and walk out with a fully restored smile. Gone are the days of waiting weeks for a dental crown and sitting through multiple appointments.
This is one of the most significant advances in modern restorative dentistry, and it means less time in the chair, fewer disruptions to your schedule, and a result that is just as strong and natural-looking as a traditionally made crown.
How Same-Day Crowns & Bridges Work
The process begins with a precise digital scan of your tooth, eliminating the need for traditional putty impressions that many patients find uncomfortable. That digital scan is then used to design your crown using specialist software, which sends the specifications directly to our in-house milling machine.
The crown is milled from a high-quality ceramic block and fitted during the same appointment. The entire process typically takes a few hours from start to finish, and you leave with a permanent, polished restoration that blends seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.
The Benefits & Advantages of Same-Day Crowns
- No temporary crowns or multiple appointments required
- No physical impressions
- Precision-fit ceramic restorations completed in a single visit
- Natural-looking, durable results
- Less disruption to your daily life
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Same-Day Crown?
Same-day crowns are suitable for patients who need a crown to repair a cracked, broken, or heavily decayed tooth or to protect a tooth following root canal treatment. They are also an excellent option for replacing old or failing crowns and completing a bridge. During your appointment, your dentist will assess whether a same-day crown is the right solution for your situation.
Same Day Crown FAQs
How long do same-day ceramic crowns last?
With proper care, ceramic crowns can last ten to fifteen years or longer. Good oral hygiene, regular dental visits, and avoiding habits such as teeth grinding will all help extend the lifespan of your crown.
Is a same-day crown as strong as a traditionally made crown?
Yes. The ceramic materials used in same-day crowns are highly durable and designed to withstand normal biting and chewing forces. They are every bit as reliable as lab-fabricated alternatives.
Will my crown look natural?
Ceramic crowns are matched to the colour and translucency of your natural teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable from the surrounding dentition.
Does getting a crown hurt?
The tooth and surrounding area are numbed with local anaesthetic before any preparation begins, so you should feel no pain during the procedure. Some mild sensitivity following the appointment is normal and usually resolves within a few days.
