Same-Day Dentistry
Same-Day Dentistry Services
Same-day dentistry is here. The days of waiting are gone.
If you’ve ever had a manual dental impression taken at your dentist’s office or an orthodontist’s office, you know that it can be messy, uncomfortable, and sometimes inaccurate.
Now, with revolutionary new same-day dentistry technology, we can create a precise, virtual model of your teeth in a matter of minutes. These models are then used to make porcelain veneers, ceramic crowns, and ceramic inlays or onlays in a single visit.
How Does Same-Day Dentistry Work?
Our same-day workflow combines a Shining 3D Aoralscan intraoral scanner — which captures a precise 3D model of your teeth in minutes, with no goopy impressions — and an in-house Planmeca milling unit that carves crowns, inlays, and onlays from solid ceramic blocks while you wait.
For 3D printed dental appliances — including surgical guides for guided implant placement, night guards, retainers, custom trays, and provisionals — we use Formlabs and SprintRay 3D printers right here in the office. Every restoration and appliance is designed by Dr. Paul R. Feldman, DMD, FAGD, FICOI on screen with you in the chair.
Once your restoration is fabricated, we try it on for size to ensure the fit is exact and comfortable. When we’re happy with the fit and shape, ceramic pieces are custom stained in our in-office ceramic oven to match the surrounding teeth.
You walk away with your final dental work installed the same visit — no temporaries, no second appointment, no waiting on outside labs.
Dr. Feldman has been using digital and same-day dental technology since its inception, and Suburban Essex Dental has been delivering precision dentistry to West Orange families since 1943.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is same-day dentistry?
Same-day dentistry uses digital scanning and in-office milling technology to design, fabricate, and place a permanent restoration – like a crown, veneer, or inlay/onlay – in a single visit, eliminating the need for temporary restorations or a second appointment.
How does same-day dentistry work?
We use a Shining 3D Aoralscan intraoral scanner to capture a precise digital model of your teeth without messy impressions, then mill your custom ceramic restoration in-house using a Planmeca milling unit while you wait.
Do I need a temporary crown with same-day dentistry?
No. Because your final restoration is designed, milled, and stained to match your natural teeth all in one visit, there’s no need for a temporary crown or a follow-up appointment to place the permanent one.
Can same-day technology be used for more than crowns?
Yes. In addition to crowns, veneers, inlays, and onlays, Dr. Feldman uses in-office 3D printing (Formlabs and SprintRay) to create surgical guides, night guards, retainers, custom trays, and provisionals.
