How Long Do the Effects of Same-Day Dentistry Last?

The longevity of your same-day dentistry results depends on which procedures were performed. Same-day crowns and restorations can last 10-15 years, and same-day implants can last for the rest of your life.

Is Getting Same-Day Dentistry Painful?

Prior to your treatment, we will numb your mouth sufficiently to ensure your comfort, well-being, and peace of mind throughout your session. Afterward, you will have the option to take prescription or over-the-counter painkillers to alleviate any lingering soreness or tenderness in the mouth.

How Long Does the Same Day Dentistry Process Take?

Same-day dentistry, including the placement of crowns, fillings, or veneers, usually takes 1-3 hours in a single session using on-site fabrication technology. A routine filling can be completed more quickly, whereas a more complex crown treatment can take several hours.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

Treatments can be completed the same day as your appointment. However, there may be recommended follow-up visits and continued treatment objectives outlined in a long-term care plan.

What Are the Risks Associated with Same-Day Dentistry?

While highly convenient, same-day dentistry can entail certain risks to be aware of. These include: Implant failure Infection Swelling Reduced restoration stability Discomfort Aesthetic limitations
