What Are the Benefits of Same Day Restoration?
When considering same-day restorations, there are many benefits to consider when making your decision. These benefits may include the following:
Convenience
The convenience factor of same day crowns and bridges cannot be overstated for busy professionals and families. Traditional crown procedures require at least two appointments separated by several weeks, often necessitating time off work or school for each visit. Same day treatment consolidates this timeline into a single appointment, minimizing disruption to your schedule and reducing the overall time investment in your dental care.
Elimination of Temporary Crowns
Elimination of temporary crowns removes a significant source of patient anxiety and discomfort. Temporary restorations can dislodge, break, or cause sensitivity, creating additional problems that require immediate attention. Same day treatment bypasses these concerns entirely, providing you with your final restoration immediately after tooth preparation.
Advanced Technology
The precision of digital technology often results in superior fit compared to traditional impression methods. Digital scans capture minute details that can be lost in conventional impressions, leading to better-fitting restorations that require fewer adjustments. This improved accuracy translates to enhanced comfort and longevity of your restoration.
Oral Health Benefits
Immediate treatment also benefits your oral health by eliminating the exposure period when prepared teeth remain vulnerable to bacteria and sensitivity. The tooth receives its protective restoration immediately, maintaining optimal oral health throughout the treatment process.
The Same Day Crown and Bridge Process
Your same day restoration appointment begins with a thorough examination and discussion of your treatment options. Digital X-rays and clinical evaluation help determine whether same day treatment is appropriate for your specific situation. We explain the entire process and answer any questions before beginning treatment.
Tooth preparation follows the same careful protocols used in traditional dental crown procedures, with precise removal of damaged or decayed tooth structure. Local anesthesia ensures your comfort throughout this portion of the treatment. The prepared tooth is then ready for the digital impression process.
Digital scanning replaces traditional impressions with a comfortable, quick process that captures detailed three-dimensional images of your prepared tooth and bite relationship. These scans are immediately processed by our design software, which creates a virtual model of your custom restoration. You can often watch this fascinating process and see your crown being designed on the computer screen.
The milling phase produces your restoration from high-quality ceramic material while you wait comfortably in our office. The precision milling process typically takes 60 to 90 minutes, during which time you can relax, read, or catch up on work. Once milling is complete, we carefully finish and polish your restoration before trying it in your mouth. Final placement involves checking the fit, bite, and appearance of your new crown or bridge. Minor adjustments can be made immediately if needed, ensuring optimal comfort and function. The restoration is then permanently bonded to your tooth, completing the entire process in a single visit.
For patients requiring multiple restorations, our dental bridges can also be fabricated using the same advanced technology, allowing us to replace missing teeth with beautiful, functional restorations in a single appointment.
