Missing a tooth? What once could require multiple dental visits and weeks of waiting can now, in many cases, be completed in a single appointment.
At Burke Dental Center in Burke, VA, Dr. Nabeel Khan uses advanced digital dentistry and in-office CAD/CAM technology to replace certain missing teeth with a custom dental bridge—often in under three hours from start to finish.
For patients in Burke, Fairfax, Springfield, and throughout Northern Virginia, this means fewer appointments, no temporary bridge, and only one round of numbing.
One Appointment. One Round of Numbing. A New Smile.
Traditionally, getting a dental bridge can involve preparing the teeth, taking impressions, wearing a temporary bridge, waiting for a dental laboratory to fabricate the final restoration, and then returning for another appointment.
At Burke Dental Center, Dr. Khan can complete many bridge cases in just one visit.
After preparing the teeth, we digitally scan your mouth, design your new bridge, fabricate it right here in our office, and permanently place it—all during the same appointment.
For the right case, you can arrive with a missing tooth and leave less than three hours later with your new tooth in place.
No More Messy Dental Impressions
If you've ever had traditional dental impressions, you probably remember the trays filled with impression material sitting in your mouth while you waited for it to set.
Digital dentistry has changed that experience.
Dr. Khan uses an intraoral digital scanner to capture a detailed 3D image of your teeth and bite. The scan is quick and comfortable, and the digital information can immediately be used to begin designing your restoration.
No messy impression material. No waiting for impressions to set. And no shipping impressions back and forth to a dental laboratory.
Designed and Fabricated Right Here at Burke Dental Center
The technology behind our same-day dentistry is our Glidewell fastmill.io™ in-office CAD/CAM system.
Using your digital scan, Dr. Khan can digitally design your restoration and then fabricate it right here at Burke Dental Center. Glidewell's chairside system is designed to scan, design, mill and deliver restorations during a single visit, including select bridge applications.
This gives Dr. Khan direct control over the process—from preparing your teeth and reviewing the digital scan to designing the restoration, evaluating the fit and delivering your final bridge.
The result is modern restorative dentistry designed around quality, precision and patient convenience.
