Same-Day Dentistry in Dunedin, FL
At Gulf Shore Dentistry, we believe that restoring your smile shouldn’t take weeks. That’s why we’re proud to offer same-day dentistry with advanced in-office milling technology—so you can walk in with a dental issue and walk out with a confident, fully restored smile in just one visit.
Traditionally, getting a crown, veneer, inlay, or onlay meant scheduling multiple appointments, wearing a temporary restoration, and waiting for a dental lab to craft your final piece. But with our state-of-the-art CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing) system, we can design, create, and place your custom ceramic restoration in just a few hours—right here in our Dunedin dental office.
What Is Same-Day Dentistry?
Same-day dentistry uses digital technology to eliminate the need for traditional impressions and external dental labs. Instead, everything—from designing to fabricating your restoration—happens on-site at Gulf Shore Dentistry.
Our in-office milling system produces precise, durable, and natural-looking restorations using high-quality ceramic materials. Whether you need a crown, veneer, inlay, or onlay, you can receive your permanent restoration in a single visit without compromising on quality or aesthetics.
How Same-Day Dentistry Works
At Gulf Shore Dentistry, we’ve streamlined the restoration process into four efficient steps that prioritize your comfort, time, and results.
Digital Impressions
We start by capturing a 3D digital scan of your teeth using advanced imaging technology—no messy, goopy impression materials required. This scan creates a detailed digital model of your teeth and gums, ensuring precise measurements and a comfortable experience.
Custom Digital Design
Your dentist then uses CAD software to digitally design your restoration with meticulous attention to detail. The design is customized to match your natural tooth shape, color, and bite, resulting in a seamless and lifelike appearance.
In-Office Milling
Once the design is finalized, the data is sent directly to our in-office milling machine. This cutting-edge equipment carves your restoration from a durable ceramic block in about 15 to 20 minutes, ensuring both strength and precision.
Placement and Bonding
After milling, your new restoration is polished, shaded for a perfect color match, and then permanently bonded to your tooth. Your dentist will make final adjustments to ensure the ideal fit and comfort—all in the same appointment.
