Same Day Dentistry Cedar Park, TX
Same-day dentistry allows patients to finish treatment during a single office visit. Traditional dental procedures can take weeks or months to complete. But with modern techniques and equipment, dentists can sometimes shorten this timeline.
Same-day dentistry is available at Parmer Oaks Dental Care in Cedar Park and the surrounding area. Our team offers a wide range of treatments and procedures. We help patients avoid the trouble and expense associated with lengthy dental procedures. Call us at (512) 354-4450 to learn more.
Replacing Crowns and Veneers
Though designed to last between five and 15 years, crowns and veneers can and do chip, break, fall out, and fail. Breakage or failure can happen for several reasons, including biting down too hard or chewing on non-food objects. Regardless of why crowns or veneers break or fall out, the damage can cause pain, discomfort, or embarrassment until fixed.
Offices that offer same day dentistry have the equipment and know-how to fabricate prostheses in-office. This equipment negates the need for the back-and-forth between dental office and lab and, subsequently, the need for additional appointments. As a result, patients can enjoy a restored smile within hours of damaging it instead of having to live with the issue for weeks.

Same-day Options for Replacing Missing Teeth
Constructing a replacement tooth can be a time-consuming process. Often, the dentist must schedule several appointments. In some cases, it may take weeks or months to develop and insert a prosthetic tooth. Same-day dentistry allows patients to receive their prostheses right away.
A dentist can extract a tooth and provide a replacement during the same office visit with same-day implants. Losing a tooth can be embarrassing and uncomfortable, causing patients to cancel social events or avoid work meetings. Same-day implants allow patients to receive their implants with no delay. As a result, patients can avoid the inconvenience that comes with scheduling multiple office visits.

Same Day Teeth Whitening
Many teeth whitening methods rely on one particular ingredient to be effective: time. However, certain in-office whitening procedures that use high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide in their solutions can yield visible results right away. These procedures also utilize a high-tech light source, which breaks up the molecules that cause stains and discoloration. Over-the-counter solutions and other forms of in-office whitening, on the other hand, can take weeks or months to achieve any drastic difference.

Same-day Dental Bonding
Dental bonding can brighten a patient's smile. Bonding conceals chips and cracks through the use of a composite resin. Dentists can adjust the resin to match the shade of the patient's natural teeth. Many cost-conscious patients prefer bonding to other cosmetic procedures like veneers. Bonding provides protection and guards the teeth against future decay or damage.
Same-day bonding procedures can help people improve the appearance of their smile quickly and efficiently. Unlike many procedures, dental bonding does not require lab access. Instead, dentists can prepare the bonding material on site after a short patient consultation. Once applied to the tooth, the composite resin hardens right away. As a result, patients can return to their normal activities once they leave the office.

Candidacy for Same Day Dentistry
Patients should note that not everyone is an ideal candidate for same day dentistry. Many of the procedures that can be performed in one appointment rely on a foundation of good health. Given this information, patients should remain realistic about what their dentists can and cannot do in a single appointment.
If a patient has less than stellar oral health, the dentist may need to prep the mouth for subsequent procedures or refer a patient to a specialist. For instance, if a person who is missing teeth also has gum disease, the dentist will need to treat the gum issues (that likely caused the tooth loss) before proceeding with the restoration process.

Frequently Asked Questions About Same Day Dentistry
Q. What is same-day dentistry?
A. Sometimes, dentists can provide treatment during a single office visit. Dentists use advanced techniques and modern technology to shorten treatment time. Same-day dentistry may help patients reduce the time spent in a dentist's chair. It can also help patients control costs and manage their budgets.
Q. Is same-day dentistry the same as emergency dentistry?
A. Same-day dentistry and emergency dentistry are not the same things. Many patients plan their same-day procedure weeks in advance. Dentists may also prepare for a same-day procedure before the patient arrives. Although these treatments are completed within a single visit, they may require some prep work. During a dental emergency, patients develop problems without warning. Emergency dentists can help solve the problem and create a treatment plan. Treatment may involve follow-up visits or multiple procedures.
Q. What procedures are available as part of same-day dentistry?
A. Dentists can sometimes fix or replace a crown during a single visit. They may also perform dental bonding, place veneers, or insert implants. Some dental practices offer same-day tooth whitening, too. Call our office to find out more about same-day procedures.
Q. What happens if I need multiple office visits?
A. Sometimes the dental team may decide that a patient does not qualify for same-day dentistry. The patient may need to visit the office several times to complete treatment. Keep in mind that the dental team puts patient safety first. Rushed procedures may put the patient's oral health at risk, so our team may perform treatment in stages to avoid complications.
Q. What type of follow-up care will I receive?
A. After a same-day procedure, the dental team may ask the patient to return for a follow-up visit. During this visit, the dentist assesses the patient's results. The dental team also asks the patient about their symptoms and comfort level. Our team ensures that patients are satisfied with their results.
