Dental Technology

Good dentistry is more than just excellent clinical skills and state of-the-art equipment. Establishing lasting relationships with our patients, based upon mutual trust and open communication, is an important factor.

Traditionally, most restorative dental procedures span two office visits, requiring you to have a temporary restoration in place until your permanent one is ready. CEREC® technology allows us to make an optical impression of your tooth and to create a computer generated three-dimensional virtual model. From this model, we can mill your porcelain restoration while you wait. Using the CEREC® system in our office saves you from having to wait several weeks to have your restoration completed.

Digital Panoramic Machine:

The Planmeca ProMax X-Ray Unit (below right) is capable of many different x-ray views including standard adult panoramic, standard child panoramic, TMJ, and Sinus views. Because it is fully digital, the radiation exposure can be customized so no one is exposed to more than is minimally necessary. Adjustments can be made based on the size of the patient, the size of the patient’s jaw, and the area of the jaw we wish to view.
