One Visit Dentistry

One-visit dentistry, also known as same-day dentistry or single-visit dentistry, refers to dental procedures that are completed in a single appointment without the need for multiple visits. It involves the use of advanced dental technology and techniques to provide quick and efficient dental care, often in a single visit.

In traditional dental practices, some treatments may require multiple visits for preparation, fabrication of restorations and final placement. However, with One Visit Dentistry, certain procedures such as dental crowns, veneers, inlays/onlays and even some root canals can be completed in a single visit, saving the patient time and reducing the need for temporary restorations.

Advanced technology such as computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems and in-house milling machines allow dentists to design, fabricate and fit dental restorations such as crowns and veneers in the same day. In addition, dental practices equipped with intraoral scanners, 3D printers and laser technologies can perform some treatments more efficiently and effectively in a single visit.

One-visit dentistry can be particularly beneficial for patients with busy schedules, dental anxiety or urgent dental needs. However, not all dental treatments can be completed in a single visit and the suitability of same-day dentistry depends on the patient's specific dental needs and the technology available in the dental practice. It's important to consult with a dentist to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for each individual case.
