Fixed Prosthodontics with Sedation
Crowns, veneers, and bridges restore both the function and appearance of your smile, but the precise, close-up work involved can be uncomfortable for anxious patients. At Sleep Dentists, we offer sedation dentistry fixed prosthodontics so you can complete this detailed restorative work in comfort, whether you need a single crown or a full set of veneers. Below are the fixed prosthodontic services we provide, each supported by the sedation option that fits your needs.
Fixed prosthodontic service
Same Day Crowns
A fully restored tooth, in a single visit.
Same day crowns use in-office technology to design, mill, and place a custom crown in one appointment, eliminating the need for a temporary crown or a second visit. The process still requires a longer stretch of precise, close-up work, which sedation makes far easier to sit through, especially for patients who’d otherwise dread a lengthy single appointment.
Duration
90 to 120 minutes
Recovery
None, same day
Best for: patients wanting a crown completed in one visit, those without time for a second appointment
Fixed prosthodontic service
Dental Crowns
Protecting and restoring a damaged tooth.
Dental crowns cover and protect a tooth that’s been significantly damaged by decay, fracture, or a previous root canal, restoring its strength and shape. Traditional crowns are typically placed over two visits, with a temporary crown worn in between. Sedation is available at each stage, keeping the process comfortable from the initial preparation through final placement.
Duration
60 to 90 minutes per visit
Recovery
None, same day
Best for: cracked, fractured, or heavily decayed teeth, teeth following root canal treatment
Fixed prosthodontic service
Porcelain Veneers
A natural, lasting upgrade to your smile.
Porcelain veneers are thin shells bonded to the front of your teeth, correcting chips, gaps, discoloration, or minor misalignment for a natural, long-lasting result. Fitting veneers involves careful shaping and precise placement across multiple teeth, which can mean a longer appointment. Sedation helps you stay comfortable and still throughout, particularly when several veneers are being placed at once.
Duration
60 to 90 minutes per visit
Recovery
None, same day
Best for: chipped, discolored, or gapped front teeth, patients wanting a comprehensive smile upgrade
Fixed prosthodontic service
Dental Bridges
Filling the gap left by missing teeth.
Dental bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring a replacement tooth to the healthy teeth on either side of the gap. The procedure involves preparing the anchor teeth and taking precise measurements for a proper fit, work that benefits from the stillness sedation provides. The result is a secure, natural-looking replacement that restores both function and appearance.
Duration
60 to 90 minutes per visit
Recovery
None, same day
Best for: one or more missing teeth, patients not ready for or not candidates for implants
