Dental Crowns and Bridges are used to
correct problems such as missing teeth, broken or large worn fillings
and to close spaces. It is now possible with the advances in Dentistry
to create natural looking teeth.
CEREC 3D®
CEREC
3D technology is revolutionary to dentistry
because it creates a beautiful, esthetic,
strong and durable ceramic restoration that
is precisely bonded to the tooth. It is
accomplished using a digital scan of the
prepared tooth and creating the
restoration’s design using powerful 3D
software that allows the dentist to
customize the result. The design is
wirelessly transmitted to a special milling
device that will create your restoration
using a dental ceramic. Because this is done
in one visit you do not need to have a
bulky, messy impression made of your tooth,
you do not need to wear a temporary crown
and you do not need to come back on a
separate visit, often weeks away, to have
your new crown placed. It is all done in one
convenient visit that lasts a little over an
hour. And with this technology you can have
multiple teeth treated at once to save you
even more time than having multiple visits
to treat individual teeth. More sound tooth
structure can also be preserved thus
minimizing further trauma and the needless
removal of healthy tooth structure as in
traditional crowns. Once you experience
CEREC 3D you will appreciate the result.
With hundreds of CEREC restorations placed
successfully in our patients mouths it has
become the #1 choice by them and us to have
their teeth restored when chipped or cracked
teeth or large, leaky silver-mercury
fillings are present.
Diagnodent®
The
Diagnodent® is an FDA-approved diagnostic
laser that is used primarily to locate decay
below the chewing surfaces of back teeth in
deep grooves and pits. These areas can have
decay that is virtually impossible to detect
with routine dental instruments. The
Diagnodent®’s
laser
will detect decay-producing bacteria and
give a digital readout to guide the dentist
to take the appropriate action: no
treatment, sealant/preventive resin or a
long-term bonded restoration. It takes only
minutes to scan these surfaces and there is
no sensation or discomfort when it is being
used. It is wonderful to finally be able to
predictably know when to treat a tooth and
when not to. |
