One hears about laser usage in many aspects of medicine. It was only a matter of time before their application spread to dentistry. Our office uses a variety of lasers for a broad spectrum of applications including decay detection, cavity preparation, and gingival surgery. Follow the link below to see how lasers are affecting the practice of dentistry and how they result in more comfortable and predictable results for you.
Perhaps one of the most significant advancements that our office employs is the use of the CEREC machine (CAD/CAM Technology) to fabricate single-unit porcelain restorations such as crowns, veneers and fillings. In the past, dentists used to take impression once a tooth had been prepared, and wait two weeks while the restoration was fabricated at a dental lab. Today, our office takes an optical scan of the prepared tooth, the restoration is designed on the computer screen for a perfect fit, and prepared from a block of porcelain in under 20 minutes! The esthetic and cosmetic results are BREATH TAKING...all without laboratory wait time and temporaries!
Digital X-rays have revolutionized dental radiography. Instead of using silver-based photography, digital x-rays produce an instant image on the computer screen which can be viewed as big as the monitor...with less radiation
 If you've ever had a crown made, you've probably had the staff hold a shade tab to your tooth in an effort to match the hue, value and chroma of an adjacent tooth. Now, using computer-assisted shade matching, the precise color mapping of a tooth can be accomplished to assist in the precise replication of a tooth's color. Making a crown for a single front tooth is no longer a challenge.
