One-Visit Crowns

Natural-Looking Crowns Made In About an Hour
You are probably familiar with the routine of having a crown made. An impression is made and a temporary crown is placed over the tooth. After two weeks, there is a visit to the dentist to have the permanent crown placed. If the fit isn’t right, the crown is sent back to the lab. After it is re-made, it is another trip to the dentist. We are pleased to feature the technology of CEREC™ restorations. It is now a one-hour procedure for a well-fitting, long-lasting, natural-looking crown! CEREC is a computer-aided device that mills the crown in just minutes. No longer are impressions or temporaries needed. Amazing!

The procedure is easy. A tooth is prepared with an application of a reflective powder. With a specially designed camera, an image of the tooth is taken and then viewed on our computer screen. This lets us design the crown. When the process is completed, CEREC will create the restoration. We then bond the crown to the tooth’s surface. This entire procedure is much faster and easier and is accomplished in just a single visit.

Dental Implants

Missing Teeth? Dental Implants Can Give You Back Your Smile
Dental implants are a great way to go in replacing missing teeth for two reasons. They are so natural-looking they look no different from a real tooth, and they function just like a real tooth to allow you to eat a variety of foods. Because they are placed under the gums, it adds to their natural appearance, just as a real tooth comes through the gums. It is also a solution for the problems denture wearers encounter. With implants, you will not have problems with denture slippage or have to take them out at night. Our office coordinates the entire implant process, from the implant placement with the surgeon, to crown fabrication in our office.
