Single visit dentistry’ provides treatment in just one dental appointment using CAD/CAM technologies (CEREC). With CEREC, multiple appointments for the same treatment are no longer necessary. Instead, necessary restorations are identified, created and cemented in the same day. Finishing the restorations during a single visit also means fewer injections which might become a nightmare for many patients. CEREC restorations are usually designed based on digital impressions taken from special scanners. The traditional distasteful impression materials and bulky trays are no longer used. Same day CEREC dentistry also eliminates the use of temporaries so dealing with them falling out at inconvenient times is not necessary and tooth sensitivity is reduced.
Aesthetics or keep it original?
If you are concerned about the removal of healthy tooth structure, modern dentistry has conservative techniques available to improve the look of your smile with whitening and composite bonding, as well as minimal and no-prep veneer laminates. Also you can have implants -artificial roots- for replacing your missing teeth. Then you can gain back your teeth just like the original set.
Comfortable, stable, natural-looking?
When you lose your teeth, a dentist will replace it. But the important question is: How comfortable will you be? Because no matter what a genius your dentist is, you will have something artificial.
Implants are the miracle solution for comfort in your mouth. You can replace missing teeth without touching the proximate ones and they function and look like your own teeth. Also implants are the life line for removable dentures. Removable dentures tend to move while talking, eating or even while laughing. Patients can’t bite whatever they want and cannot chew adequately.
