Why Wait Weeks for Treatment?

Traditional dental care often requires multiple appointments, temporary restorations, and weeks of waiting. Our same-day dentistry model is designed for both your convenience and your immediate relief. You don’t have to be in the middle of a painful dental emergency to benefit from our same-day approach. We offer one-visit care for both planned restorative procedures and unexpected urgent needs.

You may benefit from our same-day services if you experience:

  • Severe toothaches: Constant, throbbing pain that keeps you awake or distracts you during the day.
  • Broken or cracked teeth: Damage from an injury or biting down on something hard that needs immediate protection.
  • Lost or damaged restorations: A dental filling, crown, or inlay/onlay that has fallen out or cracked.
  • Deep decay: A cavity that has progressed and needs to be cleaned and filled right away to prevent infection.
  • Busy schedules: A desire to get your permanent restoration or necessary extraction completed today without returning for a second or third visit.

Same-Day Treatments We Provide

Same-Day Crowns

Using our advanced CEREC Primescan, Primemill, and Speedfire technology, we can design, mill, and place same-day crowns in just one appointment. There are no messy impressions and no fragile temporary crowns to worry about. We also use this technology to create precise inlays and onlays to restore your smile faster.

Same-Day Fillings

If we catch a cavity during an exam or you come in with sudden tooth sensitivity, we can often place a same-day dental filling right then and there. We use durable, tooth-colored composite materials that can be placed in a single visit, so you can walk out of our office with a healthy, natural-looking smile.

What to Expect With Same-Day Treatments

Same-Day Extractions

When a tooth is severely infected or damaged beyond repair, removing it is often the best way to protect your overall health. We can gently perform tooth extractions in St. Louis, the very same day to relieve your pain immediately. Before you leave, our team will gladly discuss your tooth replacement options, such as dental implants or bridges.

Same-Day Root Canals

A root canal doesn’t have to be a drawn-out, intimidating process. To relieve infection-related pain fast, a root canal can often be expertly completed in a single visit by our highly skilled doctors. We will remove the infection, clean the tooth, and protect it, allowing you to get back to your life pain-free.

Same-Day Dentistry FAQs

Ready to protect your smile? Here are some FAQs about the safe, effective same-day dentistry our practice provides.

What's The Difference Between Same-Day Dentistry And Emergency Dentistry?

Emergency dental services typically deal with sudden, acute trauma or severe pain (like a knocked-out tooth or facial swelling). Same-day dentistry includes those emergencies, but it also applies to standard procedures—like getting a permanent crown or a filling—completed in one visit simply for your convenience.

Yes! Thanks to our advanced technology and skilled team, procedures that used to take weeks—like dental crowns—can now be designed, created, and permanently placed in a single visit.

Not at all. While we certainly treat patients in pain, you can also schedule a same-day visit to fix a chipped tooth, replace a lost filling, or treat a cavity before it hurts.

Yes, we do. We are proud to accept Missouri Medicaid for both adults and children, as well as most PPO insurance plans and CareCredit.

Absolutely. Our CEREC same-day crowns are milled from high-quality, durable ceramic blocks. They are just as strong, long-lasting, and beautiful as crowns created in an off-site dental laboratory.

While we strive to complete most treatments in one day, some complex cases (such as severe infections that require healing time) may require a follow-up visit. If that is the case, we will clearly explain your treatment plan upfront so there are no surprises.
