CEREC Same-Day Restorations For Dental Emergencies

Categories: Dental Emergency, Dental Health, Restorative Dentistry

emergency dental office Gibsonton

CEREC “Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics” crowns are fast and convenient. They make “same-day” dentistry possible. If your dental practice performs CEREC, your dentist can fabricate strong, natural-looking crowns in one visit.

Because of this, CEREC has many advantages for cosmetic dental patients.

CEREC For Dental Emergencies

CEREC technology also plays a vital role in emergency dentistry.

A dental emergency is, by definition, inconvenient. (You can’t get more inconvenient than an event that takes place with no warning whatsoever.)

Reduce The Impact To Your Schedule

The dental injury and visit to an urgent care practice is disruptive enough. If your dental emergency necessitates ongoing dental appointments, it further complicates your life.

  • You may have to take time off from work
  • You may have to get child care
  • You may have to cancel flight reservations for a vacation or business trip
  • You may have to reschedule other appointments

Same-day restorations don’t require ongoing treatment after an initial emergency visit.

CEREC Crowns are High Quality

Worried that CEREC same-day restorations are inferior to traditional restorations?

Let’s put your mind at ease.

CEREC crowns are engineered using durable, high-quality materials.

A CEREC crown is shaped with CAD/CAM scanning technology which is just as accurate as a traditional impression. (Some dentists believe a CEREC crown is even more precise than a crown developed from a traditional impression.)

CEREC crowns:

  1. Are indistinguishable from your remaining teeth
  2. Function like a standard crown
  3. Don’t require a messy impression
  4. Don’t require a temporary crown that may come loose or fall off—leaving your damaged tooth at risk of further injury
  5. Can last ten years or longer
  6. Are performed in one dental visit

Your Time Dental Urgent Care offers CEREC same-day crowns. This is one way we ease the trauma when you have a dental emergency. Save our phone number to your contacts. In the unfortunate event that you experience a dental emergency, call us ASAP. If someone else is driving, call us on your way to our office. We have extended hours to serve you.

How Technology Helps Your Time Dental Urgent Care Provide Same-Day Service

Categories: Cosmetic Dentistry, Dental Emergency, Restorative Dentistry

Crown lengthening LithiaToday’s message focuses on some nifty dentistry advances that are used behind-the-scenes to benefit Your Time Dental Urgent Care patients.

Digital Imaging

Digital imaging is not just for Instagram and Pinterest. Most Florida dental offices use digital X-Rays.

Realtime digital images help Drs. Kernagis diagnose and treat oral problems. Digital X-Rays use much less radiation exposure and are easier to archive and retrieve than traditional versions.

Diode Lasers

Pinpoint-precise Diode lasers are used for emergency root canals, crown lengthening, root scaling, biopsies, oral lesion removal, and treatment of dental decay. Laser procedures are easy on patients and need much shorter healing times.

CAD/CAM for Same-Day Restorations

CAD (computer-aided design) and CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) are used for many procedures at Your Time Dental Urgent Care. These include in-office inlays/onlays, same-day CEREC crowns, and dental implants.

Quality urgent care service requires experience, expertise, and the latest dental technology. You’ll find them here at Your Time Dental Urgent Care.

Inlays And Onlays For Custom Same-Day Tooth Restorations

Categories: Restorative Dentistry

At Your Time Dental Urgent Care in Gibsonton, we perform many tooth restorationsafter hours dental practice Gibsonton  for urgent care patients. We’ve been restoring teeth since 2001 for our valued patients.

We fill cavities, repair broken teeth and also place dental implants after a tooth extraction. Regardless of the extent of the tooth damage—or if the tooth has to be extracted—we create custom restorations.

In today’s post, we are going to talk about two types of restorations: inlays and onlays.

What’s The Difference Between an Inlay And an Onlay?

Both inlays and onlays are smaller than full crowns. They can be made of metal, composite resin, or porcelain.

Inlays and onlays are very strong and shaped to precisely fit a hole in a damaged tooth. The choice of an inlay or onlay depends on how much decay and tooth loss has taken place.

An inlay resembles a filling and fills a small part of the tooth, while an onlay covers one or more cusps, or bumps, on the top of the tooth.

  • An inlay fills a hole without changing the shape of the tooth
  • An onlay builds up the tooth surface to restore its initial dimension

Inlays And Onlays in One Dental Visit

With our CEREC technology, we can create and place an inlay or an onlay in one dental visit.

The treatment begins with a thorough evaluation and x-ray. We will remove the damaged tooth structure and we mill the inlay or onlay to accurately fit your tooth and bite.

After the CEREC milling machine creates the restoration, it’s permanently bonded to the tooth. Same day restoration!

Matched Perfectly to Your Tooth Color

Inlays and onlays are durable and inconspicuous. We match them to the specific shade of your tooth. No silver amalgam.

Inlays and onlays protect the tooth from further deterioration. They provide natural function.

An urgent care dentist must be skilled in emergency, general, and cosmetic dentistry. If you have a dental emergency, or are looking for a team of experienced dental professionals, give us a call.

Considering Dentures? Read This First

Categories: Restorative Dentistry

dentures Gibsonton

At  Your Time Dental Urgent Care in Gibsonton, we get many questions about tooth replacement options since we perform extractions.  For centuries, dentures were the only way to replace missing teeth. A denture is preferable to being toothless, but dental implants provide many advantages. Before you get dentures, consider the following.

4  Things To Know About Dentures

  1. Dentures are not the only replacement choice for missing teeth. Dental implants used alone or in combination with a partial denture are often a more effective option for patients. Whereas a removable appliance replaces only the visible parts of teeth, an implant replaces both the root and crown of a tooth. Dental implants can prevent bone recession that commonly occurs following tooth extractions. Dental implants act more like real teeth, giving you greater comfort and use.
  2. There are more than one variety of denture. Most people are familiar with the removable denture that replaces a complete upper or lower arch. There are also partial dentures that are used for patients who have some remaining teeth. Partial dentures can be permanent in the mouth or detachable.
  3. Even if you have worn dentures for a while, you may be a good candidate for implant-anchored dentures. Bone grafting can augment bone in some cases. Schedule an appointment with us to find out if you are a good candidate.
  4. Regardless of your tooth replacement configuration—full dentures, partial dentures, or tooth implants—you still need to practice good oral hygiene. Removable appliances should be cleaned daily.

Your Time Dental Urgent Care is more than just an emergency dentist. We offer a number of great dental services. If your dental needs are urgent but not emergencies, that’s no reason to avoid calling us. We have late and weekend hours specifically so that you CAN call us when you need to.

We Take The Trauma Out Of Dental Trauma

Categories: Dental Emergency, Restorative Dentistry

sedation dentistry Gibsonton

At Your Time Dental Urgent Care, we encounter many nervous dental patients. ‘Nervous’ is an understatement in some cases—especially patients who are having a dental emergency.

Patients who come in with a tooth injury are already experiencing pain. If they have dental anxiety or dental phobia in addition to the injury, the experience can be downright terrifying.

We Understand Dental Anxiety

We understand. As an emergency dental clinic, our practice specializes in putting patients at ease. We use different types of dental sedation to help nervous patients with a dental emergency.

We practice gentle, pain-free dentistry. Dental treatment will not begin until you are numb.

We,= Will Ease Your Pain Quickly, Then Proceed At Your Pace

Speak up immediately if you have a problem. We will pause treatment, administer an additional analgesic and wait until it takes effect.

At Your Time Dental Urgent Care, we never rush your dental visit.

We provide many in-office amenities at Your Time Dental Urgent Care which help our dental patients concentrate on something pleasant during dental treatment.

Not every dental patient chooses sedation dentistry. Sometimes chemical-free diversions such as listening to your favorite music provide a distraction while allowing you to remain clear-headed.

Don’t let dental anxiety keep you from getting professional care for your dental emergency. At Your Time Dental Urgent Care, we understand dental anxiety and will help you through your process.

We treat dental trauma without leaving you traumatized.

Why Visit The Dentist?

Categories: Cosmetic Dentistry, General Dentistry, Restorative Dentistry

Why Visit The Dentist?

In today’s post, we share a personal story from a patient:

For many years, I didn’t have ‘go to the dentist at the top of my to-do list.

But all that has changed. I now consider visits a fundamental part of my personal health plan. 

Here’s why…

Teeth won’t stay healthy without scheduled dental visits. I’ve come to realize this more definitively as I get older. From the obvious functional utility to the important cosmetic nature of teeth, we literally can’t live without them.

When it comes to functional utility, teeth are the foundation of our health. We use them to eat every day. The status of our teeth can impose needless restrictions on our diet. With no teeth at all, our diet might be so restricted we don’t get the necessary nutrition. 

For those who don’t have teeth, this is a sobering realization. Dentures and other prosthetic solutions can help. There are substitutes for the real thing, but having your own genuine teeth is preferred.

When it comes to the cosmetic side, there isn’t a replacement for a bright and toothy smile. It may be the most noticeable element of our face. Having a pleasing smile our self-esteem.

I’ve learned that a healthy smile is more than just a nice set of teeth. It contributes to all personal interactions.

Aging combined with poor dental hygiene is perilous for teeth. The simple process of eating causes wear and tear. A continuous bacterial onslaught threatens the protective enamel. Cavities, periodontitis (advanced gum disease), and trauma round out the list of detriments that could separate us from our teeth.

We Want To Help You Have a Healthy Smile

Healthy oral habits are, of course, the best way to keep your teeth in great shape. Practicing daily oral hygiene will improve your health now and in the future.

Regular dental visits are also indispensable. Your dentist can help you improve the health of your teeth. Your Time Dental Urgent Care can help you discover oral problems before they become destructive.

Since your teeth are central to your overall health, it is essential to find a reliable dentist who can help.

At Your Time Dental Urgent Care, we have extended hours. We can accommodate your schedule.

What Is Necessary For A Dental Crown?

Categories: Restorative Dentistry

dental crowns Gibsonton

Dental crowns have been around for millennia and are still used to restore smiles today. At Your Time Dental Urgent Care in Gibsonton, we place crowns almost every day.

Ancient dentists used ivory, bone, and seashells to make crowns for teeth. Evidence of gold crowns dates from 200 A.D. Porcelain crowns appeared in the 1800s. With the advancement of metal casting methods in the 1900s, crown technology took a big leap forward.

A dental crown procedure consists of multiple steps:

Tooth Preparation

We anesthetize the tooth to be crowned and then prepare it. All decay is removed and the tooth is shaped.

Creating a Good Impression

A putty-like substance is used to make an impression of the tooth and surrounding teeth. An impression will also be made of the teeth that oppose the crown. This ensures that the crown does not negatively affect the bite.

The Temporary Crown

A temporary crown is used to guard the tooth and be sure it doesn’t move in the mouth while the permanent crown is being created. Patients need to be careful with their temporary crown. It is not as strong as the permanent crown and is attached only with temporary cement. Avoid chewing gum and eating sticky foods. Be aware that the tooth may be sensitive to hot and cold.

Choosing a Color

If the new crown will be produced with porcelain, you and your dentist will use a shade guide to select a shade for the restoration. Most people don’t have teeth that are exactly the same color. You will need to ascertain the best shade to blend in with the surrounding teeth.

Your Crown Is Put In Place

When the new crown is ready, your dentist places it in your mouth and makes any necessary adjustment to attain a perfect fit. This process shouldn’t be rushed. Sometimes less than a millimeter of drilling can make the difference between an ill-fitting crown that makes irregular contact with the opposing teeth and a crown that is properly fitted.

Your Time Dental Urgent Care is more than just an emergency dentist. We offer a number of great dental services. If your dental needs are urgent but not emergencies, that’s no reason to avoid calling us. We have late and weekend hours specifically so that you CAN call us when you need to.
