What is Same Day Dentistry?

There are many procedures performed in dentistry that require multiple steps, which often must be completed over the course of several appointments spanning several days. This can be frustrating and inconvenient for patients who have other commitments, such as work, school, or social events that must be disrupted by multiple appointments. The answer to this problem is found in same day dentistry.

Our expert in same day dentistry in Agoura Hills offers a variety of treatments that normally require several appointments in just one visit. Read about the main treatments available here:

•    Crowns: Restoration in the form of a dental crown is required for teeth that are weak, decayed, broken, or in some cases, discolored. Getting a tooth capped with a crown previously required your dentist to remove the decay and take an impression of the affected area. The patient must then wait about a week for the impression be sent away and the crown to be made and then sent back. CEREC technology speeds up the process by allowing crowns to be made quickly and in-office.

•    Implant surgery: The process of getting dental implants becomes much easier when your dentist is able to cap you implant with a crown, turning three appointments into two. Don’t go any longer than needed without a fully functioning and aesthetically pleasing tooth restoration.

•    Extractions: If you have a tooth or multiple teeth that need to be removed, you can now be fitted with a crown or bridge immediately after until any further necessary additions are ready.
