New advances in dental technology have made crown and dental implant procedures faster than ever before. We are now able to offer great dental restorations without the need for multiple appointments.
There is a convenient solution available by offering you same-day dental crowns and implant procedures. Many times it is difficult to schedule time for multiple appointments that are needed to address these dental problems.
Implants are similar to a crown and post replacement. The normal procedure is to anchor a post to the jawbone, then glue a replacement tooth crafted by the lab to this post. There are also implants available for some uses that are made in one piece. Implants can be used to replace one or more missing teeth. They can be used solely for cosmetic purposes or as an anchor for attaching dentures or bridges.
Dentists are now able to complete a dental implant procedure on the same day. During a planning appointment, your dentist takes a 360-degree scan of the patient’s mouth and jaw in a few minutes. These 3-D images are used to create a dental model and develop the necessary dental surgical stets for the implant procedure. Traditional dental implant procedures could take months to complete.
Then your dentist uses the surgical stets to precisely place the dental implant posts. A temporary crown is placed over the implant post allowing the patient to leave the office with a new smile. When the implants have fused to the bone properly, the dentist will place the permanent crowns.
A full mouth or smile makeover involves the use of a variety of procedures to perfect the smile. It often includes bleaching, veneers, and any necessary implants. The dentist will also address problems with the musculature or bite of the patient.
Not all dental insurance will pay for cosmetic dentistry unless it is needed because of decay or an injury. Generally, optional treatments are not considered necessary. However, some medical insurance policies provide coverage for restorations required after an illness or accident.
