Same Day Restorations

Receiving a dental restoration can be a lengthy process. Often, many individuals do not have the time to accommodate the multiple dental visits associated with receiving a dental restoration. Luckily, same-day restorations have opened the door for streamlined restorative treatment. By integrating advanced technology into key phases of the treatment process, patients can now come in for their appointment and leave with a brand new smile.

Types of Same Day Restorations

Thanks to advanced CEREC CAD/CAM technology, dental restorations can be made in one visit. Each restoration is tailored to fulfill the patient’s oral health needs while improving the overall aesthetics and function of their smile. Same day restoration options can include:

Crowns

Perhaps the most versatile treatment, crowns are frequently used to reinforce the structural integrity of a tooth that has been compromised by decay or trauma. Crowns may also be used as the restorative component for dental implants, covering the metal abutment to ensure a seamless looking dentition. At our Alexandria dental office, certain patients may be eligible for same-day implant placement and restoration.

Veneers

CAD/CAM technology has also opened the door for same day veneer treatment. Often used to cover intrinsically stained, chipped, or externally damaged teeth, veneers can create a uniform, beautiful smile. Since the veneers are made of thin slices of porcelain, patients receive a highly resilient restoration.

Inlays

As inlays require minimal dental preparation, this small restoration may present a more conservative option than crowns yet a more comprehensive solution than mere fillings. Since this restoration is made of highly durable porcelain, patients enjoy fully restored dental function.

Onlays

Similar to inlays, porcelain onlays are an excellent restorative treatment for teeth that are not so damaged that they require a crown, yet for which a filling would not be a sufficient restoration. Unlike inlays, onlays are designed to restore one or more fractured cusps.
