Services
Same-Day Crowns
Same-day crowns utilize CAD-CAM technology to restore damaged teeth in one visit. A digital scan creates a 3D model, which is milled into a custom crown on-site. This eliminates multiple appointments and temporary crowns, offering durable, color-matched restorations in under two hours. Patients benefit from immediate functionality and aesthetics.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers address chips, gaps, and discoloration by bonding thin shells to teeth. Custom-crafted for natural aesthetics, they last 1020 years with proper care. The process involves minimal enamel removal and includes temporary veneers for testing the final look, ensuring patient satisfaction with the smile transformation.
Invisalign
Invisalign straightens teeth discreetly using removable, clear aligners. Custom-fitted trays gradually shift teeth into alignment, allowing easy eating and cleaning. Treatment duration varies but averages 1218 months, with bi-weekly tray changes monitored by Dr. Griffin to ensure optimal results.
Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening uses take-home trays with peroxide-based gel to brighten smiles up to eight shades. The process minimizes sensitivity through specialized formulations, with results visible in weeks. Custom trays ensure even application, targeting stains from diet or lifestyle factors.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation options like oral sedatives or nitrous oxide ease anxiety during procedures. Tailored to individual needs, these methods promote relaxation without compromising safety. Patients with dental phobias or complex treatments benefit from stress-free visits, ensuring necessary care is accessible and comfortable.

Questions
What are the benefits of same-day crowns?
Same-day crowns eliminate multiple visits, temporary crowns, and waiting weeks for restorations. They use precise digital scans and in-office milling for durable, natural-looking results in one appointment.
Does insurance cover porcelain veneers?
Most insurance plans classify veneers as cosmetic, limiting coverage. WildeWood offers CareCredit financing to help patients achieve their desired smile within budget.
How does sedation dentistry work?
Oral sedatives or nitrous oxide are used to relax patients during procedures. The level of sedation is tailored to individual needs, ensuring comfort while maintaining safety and responsiveness.
What is the process for Invisalign treatment?
Invisalign starts with a 3D scan to map tooth movements. Custom aligners are worn for two weeks each, gradually shifting teeth. Adjustments are made at regular check-ups to ensure progress toward the desired alignment.
How long do teeth whitening results last?
Results typically last one to three years, depending on lifestyle habits. Avoiding staining foods and using touch-up kits as recommended helps maintain a bright smile.
