INTRA-ORAL
CAMERA
The Intra-Oral Camera allows you to see exactly what we see. It is a small television camera fitted onto a pen-sized rod. By placing the camera inside your mouth, we can take live or recorded images 40X larger than their actual sizes. In addition to helping with diagnosis, the intra-oral camera will give you a first-hand tour of your mouth and a better understanding of your oral health concerns. Our high-resolution computer monitor can display the images on a screen, or we can have them digitally printed or stored.
CEREC-3D DENTAL SYSTEM
The CEREC-3D Dental System can create ceramic dental restorations, in one office visit. Normally, dental restorations such as crowns, veneers, or onlays, require more than one appointment: first, you’re given a temporary restoration while a model of your tooth is being sent to a dental laboratory; then, several weeks later, the temporary restoration is removed and replaced with the permanent one. However, with CEREC technology, the procedure can be completed in a single appointment! For the patient, this process often more comfortable and convenient!
The procedure begins by taking a photo of your tooth with a computerized digital camera. The image is projected onto a computer screen, and with the use of CEREC software, we will shape, design, and modify every detail of your crown - creating a "virtual tooth." Instead of sending this information to a lab and asking you to come back, the CEREC-3 machine can precisely cut out your crown from an advanced porcelain material. Once the cutting is finished, the permanent crown is fixed into place, and there is no need for a second appointment! Please call or visit our office for more details.
