Same-day Dentistry

What is same day dentistry?

Same day dentistry is an approach that helps you take care of your dental health needs with fewer office visits. It offers you the opportunity to focus on other tasks rather than schedule and travel to numerous dental appointments.

Thanks to advancements in dental technology, many treatments that once took numerous visits spread out over long periods of time can now be accomplished in just one day. While not every dental health need can be met through same day dentistry, you might be surprised to learn what’s possible.

What are some examples of same day dentistry?

Fillings are an example of a dental treatment that can often be performed in just one office visit. Advanced imaging lets your dentist “see” the extent of decay and plan your treatment accordingly.

A quick injection of numbing medication removes all sensations in the area. Your dentist then removes all traces of damaged tooth tissue before sanitizing the cavity and placing the filling material. Within a few moments, your restoration is complete.

Dental crowns are another treatment well suited for same day dentistry. Once your dentist prepares your tooth and collects a set of impressions, a special milling machine crafts your custom-fitted dental crown while you wait. Your dentist then affixes the crown and polishes the restoration.

How do I know if same day dentistry is the right fit for my dental care needs?

If you have questions about same day dentistry, be sure to ask your NovaDental dentist during your next visit. It’s important to share the full details of your personal health history to make sure that any dental procedure is a good fit for your needs.

While issues like heart disease, diabetes, or cancer treatment might require a careful approach or stabilization before moving forward with dental care, there are always ways to ensure you get the care you need for a healthy and happy smile.
