Same-Day Crowns with CEREC

CEREC and chairside CAD/CAM let us design and create many crowns in a single visit.

What actually happens:

  • We take a quick digital scan of your tooth.
  • Your crown is designed on a computer instead of being sent to a lab.
  • A small in-office milling unit shapes your new ceramic crown while you relax.
  • We try in the crown, make adjustments, and bond it in place that same day.

Benefits for you:

  • No goopy tray impressions
  • No temporary crown that can crack, fall off, or feel rough
  • Fewer visits and less time off work or school
  • A strong, tooth-colored restoration that blends with your smile

Many patients leave saying it feels like their natural tooth again, just healthier and stronger.

CBCT 3D Imaging for Safer, Smarter Planning

Our cone beam CT (CBCT) scanner creates a 3D image of your teeth, jawbone, nerves, and sinuses. This is especially important for dental implants and complex treatment.

How we use it:

  • To measure bone height and thickness before placing implants
  • To see the exact position of nerves and sinuses
  • To plan the angle and depth of each implant
  • To evaluate problem areas that do not show clearly on standard X-rays

Why this matters to you:

  • Safer, more predictable implant placement
  • Fewer surprises during surgery
  • Better planning for long-term comfort and function
  • Easier to understand your case when you can see a 3D image of your own mouth

This helps you feel more confident about moving forward with treatment because you can see what we see.

Digital Scanning and In-Office 3D Printing

Traditional impressions can be messy and uncomfortable.
We use small intraoral scanners to take digital impressions instead.

What we can make with digital scans:

  • Crowns and bridges
  • Clear aligners
  • Night guards and bite splints
  • Surgical guides for precise implant placement

Once we have your scan, we can use in-office 3D printing to create accurate models and guides.

Benefits for you:

  • No sticky impression material
  • Faster, more comfortable appointments
  • Better fit for crowns, aligners, and guards
  • Shorter turnaround times, with more same-day or expedited options

This digital workflow is ideal for busy families and anyone who wants treatment that respects their time.

Diode Laser and Advanced Diagnostic Tools

We use a diode soft-tissue laser for many gum and tissue procedures, along with modern tools to catch problems earlier.

Diode laser benefits:

  • Can reduce bleeding during many gum treatments
  • Often creates less swelling and soreness afterward
  • May support faster, more comfortable healing
  • Allows for more precise, gentle shaping of gum tissue

What this means for your visit:

  • More accurate diagnoses
  • Clear visual explanations so you understand what is happening
  • A better chance to treat issues early and more conservatively

Diagnostic tools we use:

  • Intraoral cameras
    • Show detailed photos of your teeth and gums on a screen
    • Help you see cracks, wear, and other issues for yourself
  • VELscope oral cancer screening
    • Uses a special light to help us spot changes in the tissues of your mouth
    • Supports earlier detection and peace of mind
  • DiagnoDent cavity detection
    • Uses laser fluorescence to find decay that may not show on X-rays
    • Helps us treat smaller problems before they turn into bigger ones
