Same Day Dentistry Dumont, NJ
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 Dumont Family Dental in Dumont 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 (201) 374-7202 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
Tooth replacement options take weeks to months to complete, depending on which procedure a patient undergoes. For many people, it is unacceptable to have to wait months to be able to chew, smile, talk, and socialize comfortably once again. Fortunately, same day dentistry also includes Same Day implants.
Traditionally, the implant process is lengthy and requires multiple steps. However, with Same Day implants, the dentist skips the wound healing and osseointegration processes and places the implant on the same day after extracting the decayed tooth. This eliminates months of waiting and the discomfort that comes with it.

Same-day Teeth Whitening
Take-home whitening products may not deliver results for several weeks. Since these products are for home use, they contain a lower concentration of whitening agents. In-office teeth whitening treatments utilize higher doses of whitening agents. Same-day whitening procedures can erase stains within an hour.
In-office whitening often uses a laser or curing light. These light sources activate a peroxide gel to remove even stubborn stains. During an in-office whitening procedure, dentists can also apply a fluoride treatment. This procedure can help patients avoid discomfort or sensitivity.

Same Day Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is a popular and conservative alternative to dental veneers and other procedures designed to enhance a smile. Dental bonding uses a tooth-colored composite resin material to conceal imperfections in teeth.
The bonding resin serves as a protective coating for the teeth, safeguarding them against future damage. Due to its conservative nature, dental bonding is something most dentists can perform in the office on the same day. Unlike some treatments, bonding does not necessitate prosthetics or the help of a lab.

Limitations of Same-Day Dentistry
Not all procedures are available through same-day dentistry. If a patient has extensive dental trouble, they may have to receive dental treatment in stages. These complex procedures may require several office visits.
Sometimes, patients must wait for their mouth to heal before progressing to the next stage in treatment. The dentist may also need time to prepare the patient's mouth. Some patients may need plaque removal or gum disease treatment. These procedures can prevent patients from receiving same-day care. Our team will help determine whether same-day dentistry is a viable option for a patient.

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.
