Same Day Crowns & Bridges in Las Vegas, NV
When you need dental restoration, waiting weeks between appointments while dealing with temporary solutions can be frustrating. Same-day crowns and bridges at Smiles for Life in Las Vegas offer an innovative solution that transforms your smile in just one visit. Using advanced CEREC technology and digital dentistry techniques, you can walk out with a permanent, custom-fitted restoration on the same day.
Smiles for Life brings cutting-edge dental technology to Las Vegas residents seeking efficient, high-quality dental care. Dr. Paul M. Leatham specializes in same-day crowns and aesthetic restorations, while the entire team focuses on delivering comfortable experiences with remarkable results.
What Are Same-Day Crowns and Bridges?
Traditional dental crowns and bridges typically require multiple appointments spread over several weeks. During this waiting period, patients must wear temporary restorations that can be uncomfortable and prone to dislodging. Same-day crowns and bridges eliminate this inconvenience by using CAD/CAM technology to design, fabricate, and place your permanent restoration all in one appointment.
CEREC technology (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) powers this process at Smiles for Life. The system uses digital scanning to create precise 3D models of your teeth, replacing the need for messy conventional dental impressions. This digital data guides an in-office milling machine that crafts your custom restoration from high-quality ceramic materials while you wait.
The Benefits of Same-Day Dental Restorations
Same-day crowns and bridges offer numerous advantages beyond just convenience. Without the need for temporary crowns, you avoid potential discomfort and complications that can occur while waiting for your permanent restoration. The digital impression technology is more comfortable than traditional molding materials and produces more accurate results.
The CEREC system uses tooth-colored ceramic materials that provide natural-looking aesthetics, closely matching your existing teeth. These materials are also highly durable, offering excellent longevity for your dental restoration. By completing the entire procedure in one visit, you save time and avoid the hassle of multiple appointments, making it an ideal solution for busy Las Vegas residents.
The Same Day Crown Process
Your appointment begins with a thorough examination to determine if a same-day crown is appropriate for your specific case. Dr. Leatham and the team at Smiles for Life will prepare your damaged tooth by removing decay and shaping it to properly support the new crown.
Next comes the digital scanning process, where advanced technology captures every detail of your prepared tooth and surrounding teeth. This digital impression is transferred to the CEREC software, where your dentist designs your custom crown with precision. The design is then sent to the in-office milling unit, which carves your permanent crown from a block of high-quality ceramic material. After final adjustments and polishing, your new crown is permanently bonded to your tooth, restoring both function and appearance in a single visit.
Same Day Bridges for Missing Teeth
Dental bridges replace missing teeth by creating a literal “bridge” between the gap in your smile. Traditional bridge procedures require multiple visits, but with CEREC technology, Smiles for Life can provide same-day bridges for qualifying patients.
The process for same-day bridges mirrors that of same-day crowns, with digital scanning capturing the precise dimensions needed. The adjacent teeth that will support the bridge are prepared, and within hours, your custom-crafted bridge is ready for placement. This streamlined approach provides immediate restoration of your smile’s functionality and appearance without the wait.
CEREC Technology: The Future of Dental Restorations
The CEREC system represents a significant advancement in restorative dentistry, combining digital imaging, computer-aided design, and automated manufacturing. This technology enables the creation of highly accurate, custom-fitted dental restorations without the time delays associated with traditional laboratory fabrication.
At Smiles for Life, this technology is paired with the expertise of Dr. Paul M. Leatham, who specializes in same-day crowns and aesthetic procedures. His focus on precision and ongoing professional development ensures patients receive the full benefits of these modern dental innovations. The combination of advanced technology and skilled practitioners makes same-day dental restorations in Las Vegas both convenient and of exceptional quality.
