When dental damage strikes or tooth loss occurs, waiting weeks for restoration isn’t just inconvenient—it can impact your confidence, comfort, and oral health. At South Hills Dental Arts, we understand that modern life demands efficient solutions without compromising quality. Our same-day crown and bridge technology in McMurray eliminates the traditional waiting period, delivering permanent, beautiful restorations in just one appointment while you relax in our state-of-the-art facility.
South Hills Dental Arts brings 35 years of excellence to McMurray, revolutionizing restorative dentistry with advanced CEREC technology and comprehensive in-house care. We combine cutting-edge digital dentistry with personalized attention, ensuring your restoration not only fits perfectly but also matches your natural teeth seamlessly. Our commitment to same-day service means you walk out with your permanent restoration, ready to smile, eat, and live without limitations.
The CEREC Advantage in Modern Dentistry
CEREC technology represents a quantum leap in dental restoration, transforming what once required multiple appointments into a single, streamlined visit. This sophisticated system begins with digital 3D scanning that captures precise measurements of your teeth without messy, uncomfortable impression materials. Within seconds, we have a detailed digital model that serves as the blueprint for your custom restoration.
Our cosmetic and restorative dentistry expertise combines with this technology to design your crown or bridge while you watch. The CAD/CAM software allows us to perfect every contour and contact point, ensuring optimal fit and function. Once designed, our in-office milling unit carves your restoration from a solid block of high-strength ceramic, completing the process in approximately 15 minutes.
Why Same-Day Restorations Transform Patient Experience
Traditional crown and bridge procedures involve significant inconvenience: multiple appointments, uncomfortable temporary restorations that frequently dislodge, dietary restrictions, and weeks of waiting. These temporary crowns often break or fall off, requiring emergency visits and additional time away from work or family. Our same-day process eliminates these frustrations entirely.
The immediate benefits of same-day restorations include:
- Complete treatment in one comfortable visit
- No messy impressions or temporary crowns
- Return to normal eating immediately
- Single anesthetic administration
- Perfect digital precision for superior fit
- Long-lasting ceramic materials matching natural teeth
The ceramic materials we use rival natural tooth enamel in strength and appearance. Unlike metal restorations that can cause dark lines at the gum line or allergic reactions, our ceramic crowns and bridges maintain their beautiful, natural appearance for years. These biocompatible materials integrate seamlessly with your smile.
Identifying Your Need for Crowns or Bridges
Dental crowns serve essential protective and restorative functions beyond cosmetic improvement. They strengthen teeth weakened by large fillings, protect teeth after root canal therapy, restore fractured or worn teeth, and cover dental implants. Crowns also transform the appearance of severely discolored or misshapen teeth, contributing to overall smile harmony.
Bridges provide an excellent solution for tooth replacement when dental implants aren’t suitable or desired. By anchoring to healthy teeth adjacent to the gap, bridges restore proper chewing function, maintain facial structure, and prevent remaining teeth from shifting into the empty space. This shifting can cause bite problems, TMJ issues, and an increased risk of tooth loss if left unaddressed.
Advanced Diagnostics for Optimal Treatment
Our comprehensive evaluation process uses state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to determine the best restoration approach. 3D X-rays reveal hidden decay, fractures, and bone structure, while our intraoral cameras provide detailed views of surface conditions. The Tekscan system analyzes your bite dynamics, ensuring your new restoration functions harmoniously with your natural teeth.
Digital Smile Design technology allows us to show you exactly how your restoration will enhance your smile before we begin. This visualization helps you make informed decisions about your treatment while ensuring we achieve your aesthetic goals. We consider factors like tooth shape, size, color, and proportion to create restorations that look completely natural.
Your Same-Day Restoration Experience
Your appointment begins with gentle tooth preparation using our laser dentistry technology when appropriate, preserving maximum healthy tooth structure while ensuring optimal restoration fit. For crowns, we remove decay and shape the tooth to receive its new protective covering. Bridge preparation involves minimal reduction of supporting teeth, maintaining their strength and vitality.
The digital scanning process takes just minutes and captures every detail needed for a perfect restoration. You can watch on our operatory TVs as we design your crown or bridge using sophisticated software. This interactive process allows real-time adjustments, ensuring you’re completely satisfied with the planned outcome. Our photogrammetry technology ensures your restoration harmonizes with your facial features.
Materials Science Meets Aesthetic Excellence
Modern CEREC ceramic blocks come in numerous shades and translucencies, allowing perfect color matching to your natural teeth. These advanced materials, including lithium disilicate and zirconia options, provide exceptional strength while maintaining lifelike aesthetics. The Cleveland Clinic notes that with proper care, ceramic restorations typically last up to 15 years.
Precision Milling and Finishing
Our milling unit uses diamond burs to carve your restoration with micron-level precision. This accuracy ensures optimal fit, reducing the risk of decay at margins and eliminating the gaps that can trap food and bacteria. After milling, we custom-stain and glaze your restoration, adding subtle characterizations that make it indistinguishable from natural teeth.
The final step involves careful bonding using advanced adhesive systems that create a seal stronger than traditional cement. This bond becomes an integral part of your tooth structure, providing years of reliable service. Our meticulous attention to detail during this process ensures long-term success.
Caring for Your Investment
Maintaining your same-day restoration requires no special equipment or complicated routines. Regular brushing with fluoride toothpaste, daily flossing, and routine professional cleanings keep your restoration looking and functioning beautifully. The precision fit achieved through digital technology actually makes maintenance easier than with traditional restorations.
We provide comprehensive care instructions and remain available for any questions. Regular check-ups at our McMurray location allow us to monitor your restoration and address any concerns promptly. Many patients report that their CEREC restorations feel so natural they forget which teeth have been restored.
Advanced Technology Throughout Your Treatment
Beyond CEREC, our McMurray office utilizes numerous technologies to enhance your experience. OraVerse can reverse numbness faster, allowing quicker return to normal activities. Our virtually painless anesthesia system minimizes discomfort during preparation. Aromatherapy and soothing music create a calming environment, while our refreshment bar and comfortable amenities help you feel at ease.
The integration of our full digital workflow means every aspect of your treatment is optimized for precision and comfort. From initial scanning through final placement, technology enhances both the process and outcome. This comprehensive approach is why patients choose South Hills Dental Arts for their restorative needs.
Financial Considerations and Value
Same-day crowns and bridges represent exceptional value when considering time saved, superior outcomes, and elimination of temporary restoration problems. Most dental insurance plans cover same-day restorations identically to traditional laboratory-made options. Our flexible financing options make this advanced treatment accessible to everyone.
Our team handles insurance paperwork and helps maximize your benefits. During your free virtual consultation, we provide transparent pricing and discuss payment options that fit your budget.
