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 by 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. With this revolutionary technology, more sound tooth structure can also be preserved thus minimizing further trauma and the needless removal of healthy tooth structure as in traditional crowns.

Digital Radiographs
Digital Radiographs (low dose radiation) saves a lot of time and enables the dentist and patient to view the image on a computer screen seconds after the device is inserted into the patient’s mouth. The images are a higher resolution than film images and are stored in a computer memory, from which they can easily be retrieved, combined, and manipulated to supply more information. Most importantly, patients are only exposed to 1/10th the x-ray dosage typically delivered today.

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.
