This patient came to our practice needing a more extensive restoration involving both a 3-unit bridge and additional crowns to rebuild her smile. Given the scope of treatment, comfort was a top priority, so Dr. Nelson used IV sedation to keep her fully relaxed throughout the procedure. She had no memory of the appointment and left the same day wearing 3D-printed temporaries, so her smile stayed complete and natural-looking while her final restorations were being prepared.
Once ready, her final bridge and crowns were designed, milled, and custom-stained entirely in-house, allowing us to match the shape, fit, and shade of her natural teeth with precision. Completing the restoration in-office also meant fewer visits and faster turnaround than treatment sent out to an off-site lab.
The result is a smile that's fully restored, both in function and appearance, without the stress or discomfort that often comes with more involved dental work. For patients in Winston-Salem considering a multi-tooth restoration, this case shows how combining IV sedation with same-day temporaries and in-house lab work can make even complex treatment feel manageable and comfortable from start to finish.
