CEREC Same-Day Crowns
Same-day crowns allow our dental team to restore damaged or weakened teeth in, you guessed it, a single visit. Using digital impressions and advanced CAD/CAM technology, our dentist designs and mills a custom ceramic crown right in our office—no temporary crown or second appointment needed. The result is a durable, natural-looking restoration that blends seamlessly with your smile and restores full function quickly and efficiently.
Digital Impressions
Using advanced handheld scanning technology to create accurate, 3D images of your teeth and gums, digital impressions eliminate the need for messy traditional molds. These high-resolution scans improve precision for dental crowns, bridges, clear aligners, and other restorations while enhancing patient comfort. The process is quick, clean, and more efficient, allowing our dentist to plan treatments with greater accuracy and deliver better-fitting, longer-lasting results.
Cavitron® Ultrasonic Scaling
The Cavitron ultrasonic scaler enhances dental cleanings by using high-frequency vibrations and water to break up plaque and tartar buildup more effectively than manual tools. Activated by a foot pedal, this device allows for precise control and can be fitted with various inserts depending on the level of cleaning needed. It’s a powerful tool for improving gum health and providing a more efficient, comfortable cleaning experience for patients.
Digital X-Rays
Digital dental X-rays use advanced imaging technology to capture detailed pictures of your teeth, gums, and jaw with significantly less radiation than traditional X-rays. The images appear instantly on a computer screen, allowing our dental team to diagnose issues quickly and accurately. This technology helps us detect cavities, bone loss, and other concerns early, supporting more effective treatment planning and improved long-term oral health.
Intraoral Camera
Intraoral cameras are small, handheld devices that capture high-resolution images of your teeth and gums from inside your mouth. These real-time images are displayed on a screen, allowing you and our dentist to clearly see areas of concern like decay, cracks, or gum issues. Intraoral cameras improve diagnosis, enhance patient understanding, and support more accurate treatment planning—all while making dental visits more interactive and informative.
