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.
