CEREC
EREC is the world's only system for the fabrication of all ceramic dental restorations
in one office visit. With CEREC, you can be in and out in a single visit with a permanent,
all ceramic crown, onlay, or veneer! For you the patient, this means fewer injections,
less drilling and less time out of your hectic schedule. These strong and esthetic
restorations are created on the computer and then milled by diamond instruments in a
computer directed milling chamber in our office.
Neuromuscular Dentistry 
 ur teeth
do not exist in a vacuum. They are connected to bone, which is connected
to muscles of the head and neck. If the bite relationship causes the
muscles to be out of balance and fighting one another, the result
is pain. By relaxing the muscles with a TENS unit, then by using computerized
jaw tracking and muscle activity recording, we can find the most comfortable
place for your bite. By placing the bite in this position, we can
often eliminate chronic headaches, migraines, tingling fingers, neck
and shoulder pain, reduced opening of the jaw and other TMJ symptoms.
Soft Tissue Laser 
 his marvelous new technology
enables us to perform a variety of procedures, such as comfortably repositioning
unattractive or problem gum tissue, biopsies, removal of benign tissue growths in the mouth,
frenum removal and treatment of some periodontal pockets. We also can treat canker sores
and cold sores, making them less painful and accelerating healing.Intraoral Camera 
 ith a small wand camera, we
are able to capture pictures of the smallest areas in your mouth and project the image onto
a computer screen. This allows you to see your teeth about 20X their natural size. With
this view we are both able to view the condition of your mouth and gums and better see where
treatment may be indicated. Our patients (especially kids) love this technology.
DIAGNOdent 
he DIAGNOdent
is a very accurate laser diagnostic tool that reflects a laser light through the enamel and
dentin of teeth to detect decay. It can detect early stages of cavities on teeth and around
fillings. DIAGNOdent can locate decay that may not be detectable by an x-ray. This makes
it possible to remove early stages of decay, preventing large cavities and loss of tooth
structure. The DIAGNOdent is completely painless and, while not eliminating the need for
x-rays altogether (we cannot detect cavities between the teeth or under fillings with it),
the DIAGNOdent, along with the intraoral camerea, can make our diagnosis more accurate.
Low Dose Digital X-Rays To properly care for our patients, we believe in using ultra low dose digital x-rays. The technology uses 90% less radiation than standard dental x-rays. The images appear instantly on the computer screen so our team spends time with you, not in the darkroom. Each image can be magnified and enhanced to reveal hidden problems. Your safety, comfort and care are our primary concerns. |
