How to prepare for a same-day crown appointment in South Surrey
dentalcare
A simple checklist for the days before your crown visit: what to eat, what to bring, what to ask, and how to feel at ease in the chair.
A same-day crown visit is easier when you know what to expect. Here is a simple checklist to help you feel ready. For the full picture of the technology, see our same-day CEREC crowns guide.
Before your visit
- Check your coverage: Review your plan or dental insurance and CDCP coverage so there are no surprises. We offer direct billing for most private plans and CDCP.
- Write down your questions: Ask about the shape, shade, and material of your crown, and how it will feel when you bite.
- Note your health history: Bring a list of medications and any allergies.
- Plan your timing: Most of the visit is spent on design and milling, so allow a good block of time. Our team can give you an estimate when you book.
The day of your visit
- Eat beforehand unless you have been told otherwise, such as when sedation is planned.
- Bring headphones if music or a podcast helps you relax.
- Arrive a few minutes early. Parking in the plaza is free.
