Single-Visit Custom Crowns and Onlays with CEREC 3D
New dental technologies and specialized instrumentation means patients spend much less time in a dental chair. One such innovation is called CEREC 3D. It allows the dentist to quickly restore your damaged teeth with natural-colored ceramic fillings and can be completed in a single visit, saving you time and the inconvenience of multiple visits with other procedures.
Digital Impressions
In our continued effort to provide the highest levels of comfort and convenience along with quality outcomes for our patients, we have introduced our newest digital impression scanner to our practice.
For those who find that “old school” process of messy impressions as uncomfortable or causing gagging, our digital scanning technology eliminates those problems. The scanner provides exceptional digital images in typically three to five minutes using a small pen like instrument. The images capture precise details of both your teeth and gums which then form the basis for the completion of several types of dental restorations including crowns, implants bridges and orthodontics.
In a nutshell, digital impressions offer you these advantages:
- eliminates the need for messy, multiple impressions and associated gagging
- allows the fitting of more accurate restorations
- reduces the possibility for impression errors
- patients can view images in real time
- restorations can be completed in our office
Intra-Oral Camera
Using a miniature camera placed in your mouth, we are able to show you problems that may require attention. The area is magnified 24 times! You’ll be amazed at how clear it all appears on the TV screen you view. This integrated computer system helps us gather and save important data about your dental health. Your electronic chart includes actual photographs of your teeth and gum and can allow us to track any possible gum disease. The use of an intraoral camera is a part of our philosophy to provide patients the most up-to-date dental technology in the care of their teeth.
