Same-Day Care: How Technology is Revolutionizing Restorative Dentistry
Learn About Same-Day Restorative Dentistry
Have you heard about how same-day restorative dental care can take the hassle out of crowns, bridges, and other treatments? Anyone who has had restorative work done in the past probably remembers long wait times, multiple appointments, and the hassle of wearing a temporary crown while waiting for a permanent piece to be made. Restorative dentistry is different now!
At Helfner Dental Associates, we offer same-day restorative dentistry that can restore function and appearance. Our cutting-edge technology allows us to create clear, accurate impressions without the need for sticky trays and paste. We offer single-visit treatment, whether you need to repair a chipped tooth or have a full crown installed.
What Is the Purpose of Restorative Dentistry?
Restorative dentistry is focused on repairing or replacing damaged teeth. The goal of each treatment is to restore the function, health, and aesthetics of a damaged or missing tooth. The most common restorative treatments include:
- Dental crowns
- Dental bridges
- Cavity fillings
- Dental implants
- Root canal therapy
For decades, all of these procedures required multiple visits over the span of several weeks. In many cases, patients needed to wait for dental appliances to be fabricated at a third-party lab. With the latest innovations in dental care, our office is able to provide same-day treatments that allow you to walk away with a fully restored smile in hours!
How Dental Technology Has Changed Restorative Dentistry
Dental impressions taken using a sticky, gooey material and plastic tray are no longer necessary. Our office has upgraded to digital scanning technology that allows us to instantly create highly accurate 3D impressions of your teeth. The process is quick and comfortable! Our 3D imaging tools are ideal for placing dental implants, planning root canals, and coming up with solutions for complex decay or injuries with minimal disruption to the surrounding teeth and gum tissue.
We also perform in-office milling to provide our clients with same-day crowns. This is done using computer-aided design and manufacturing technology that allows us to fabricate custom dental crowns during a single visit here in our office. This removes the need for temporary crowns. Yes, you'll walk away with your custom crown in one visit with no need to come back!
Advanced Restorative Technology Enhances Emergency Dental Care
Our same-day capabilities allow us to respond better when a dental emergency hits. In fact, we can often provide same-day restoration with a single emergency dental visit when patients come to us with a cracked tooth, lost filling, or extreme dental pain.
At Helfner Dental Associates, we're proud to be at the forefront of restorative dentistry. Your comfort is always a top priority. Whether you need to restore your smile with an implant or crown or you're facing a dental emergency, we're here to put our cutting-edge technology to work for you.
