When you undergo a minimally-invasive procedure, you may not need to schedule a follow-up appointment for six months! Imagine getting a crown in one day instead of taking multiple visits and waiting weeks for your permanent crown to arrive. There’s a much lower risk of discomfort with minimally invasive restorations, too. Traditional processes often require the numbing of your gums. However, for no-prep procedures like direct fillings, you won’t need numbing—so you don’t have to worry about having an uncomfortable experience.

First, minimally invasive restorative dentistry eliminates unsightly silver amalgam fillings and restores teeth to a beautiful, natural appearance. You and your patients can smile with confidence! Second, it’s easier for your patients to maintain their oral health after treatment. After all, with minimally invasive techniques, you won’t need to prepare your patient’s mouth for the placement of bulky porcelain restorations. Instead, you can preserve tooth structure and avoid the need for extensive repair later on.
Patients can typically recover from their procedure in a day or two, which is ideal for those who work full-time or are unable to take time off of work. Because our procedures are minimally invasive and require less time in the chair, patients may save both time and money compared to traditional procedures such as dental crowns.
Additionally, because the procedure is less invasive and does not require the cutting of tissue or the suturing of gums, the procedure is more comfortable for patients than traditional methods. As a result, patients are able to heal more quickly and can return to their regular routines in no time.
