Same-Day dentistry is a relatively new concept. It refers to those dental procedures that can be completed during one appointment. With traditional dentistry, patients receive treatments in pieces. Some procedures, like extractions and root canals  are all performed separately. With same-day dentistry, patients can receive a restoration, such as a dental crown, or denture, on the same day as their procedure. This eliminates the need for temporary restorations and follow-up appointments.

Benefits of Same Day Dentistry

Same-day dentistry offers numerous benefits, including:

• Flexibility
• Convenience
• Speed
• Cost savings
• Less stress
• Lifelong benefits

Same-day dentistry allows you to have your dental work completed in one day. With same-day dentistry, you won’t need to return for multiple visits to complete the procedures you need. This efficiency allows you to get everything done at once, and you won’t have to suffer through multiple visits with uncomfortable tools.

Same-day dentistry can also minimize your recovery time. Having several procedures done at once means you won’t need to heal as your teeth get used to the different procedures and tools. Instead, your teeth will be healing together, and you won’t have to worry about soreness or irritation.

Same-day dentistry procedures include:

• Bridges
• Crowns
• Teeth Whitening
• Tooth-Colored Fillings
• Same-day root canal

How Long Does It Take For Same-Day Dentistry?

Same-day dentistry is a one-day procedure that can last anywhere from one to four hours. With CEREC technology, our Central dentist can make your crown, inlay, onlay, or veneer while you wait. Same-day dentistry restores your smile the same day, eliminating the need for multiple appointments.

Is Same-Day Dentistry Safe?

Same-day dentistry is safe. Same-day dentistry uses the most modern technology available - CEREC® technology. CEREC® is an acronym that stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. CEREC® technology allows our Central dentist to create perfectly fitted restorative ceramic crowns and fillings in as little as one hour.

Is Same Day Dentistry Painful?

No. Same Day Dentistry is not painful. The dentist numbs your mouth and gums before the Same Day Dentistry procedure. The anesthetic is long-lasting and will prevent you from feeling any pain during the Same Day Dentistry procedure.
