What is Same Day Dentistry?

Conventional methods of placing crowns and onlays usually require two appointments.  During the first one the tooth is prepared, an impression and other records may be taken and then a temporary is placed over the tooth to protect it from the oral cavity during the final restoration fabrication. The typical time frame of wearing the temporary can be anywhere form two to four weeks.  There has always been a concern that during that time lots of things can happen.  The tooth can shift in position, it can become more sensitive, and unsupported areas can become susceptable to bacteria in the mouth.  With the new digital techniques created by E4D Dr. Gunnerson is able to provide you with a same day solution.  He is able to digitally scan your tooth - no more impressions - and create your personalized permanent restoration right in his office while you wait - providing you more convenience and elminating the waiting period where only bad things can happen to your "temporary" crown and tooth.  Same-Day dentistry is healthier dentistry.  Call our office for a free consultation.  (801) 465-3233.
