In today's image-conscious world, the power of a confident smile cannot be underestimated. Whether you're meeting someone new or presenting yourself in a professional setting, your smile is often the first thing people notice. This is where the realm of cosmetic dentistry comes into play, offering innovative solutions that can truly transform your appearance and boost your
self-assurance. At Wychwood Dental, we understand the profound impact a smile makeover can have on your life. In this blog, we'll explore how dental clinics bring about these remarkable transformations, instilling renewed confidence in their patients.

A confident smile is a reflection of not only our oral health but also our overall well-being. The realm of restorative dentistry offers solutions that can transform a gap in your smile into a seamless, beautiful set of teeth. When it comes to replacing a missing tooth, two primary options stand out: dental implants and dental bridges. Making the right choice between these options requires understanding their nuances, benefits, and potential risks. Wychwood Dental is your partner in oral health, and we're here to provide insights that will help you make an informed decision that aligns with your needs.

At Wychwood Dental, just one dental appointment is required to finish a same-day crown, sometimes referred to as a CadCam crown or a chairside crown. Thanks to the latest in technology, the dental crowns procedure has been revolutionized, offering patients several advantages over conventional crowns.

Convenience

Convenience is one of the key advantages of same-day crowns. Traditional crowns need at least two dental visits: one for the preliminary examination and planning and another for the actual crown implantation. Same-day crowns allow the procedure to be finished in a single visit, saving patients' time and trouble. Another benefit of CadCam crowns is there is no need for a temporary crown where you have to be so careful that it doesn’t fall out. Those with hectic schedules or those who live far from our Wychwood Dental office on St. Clair West will find this to be especially helpful.
