Intra-oral CEREC Scanner

The Cerec Scanner is an intra-oral scanner that allows us to take an accurate 3D image of your teeth and gums. This scan can be utilized to design crowns and veneers same-day. It can also be used to deliver accurate 3D digital impressions to the lab for more comprehensive cases. 

Suitable for:

  • Digital Scans for retainers, nightguards, whitening trays, and more
  • Same-day crown scan
  • Dental records for comprehensive evaluation and treatment

CEREC Milling (Same-Day Crowns)

Our Cerec milling unit allows us to mill same day crowns for our patients. The mill receives data directly from our scanner and is able to provide an accurate fitting crown, onlay, inlay and/or veneer. This mill can mill a variety of materials which allows us to be selective in our decision regarding what is best for you.

Cone-beam computed tomography systems (CBCT)

A CBCT allows us to take both 2D and 3D imaging of the orofacial complex. We are able to see the fine anatomical structures when taking a 3D image, which can be utilized to identify, diagnose, and treat dental conditions. 

Some of the potential uses of a CBCT image include:

  • Dental Implants:  Used to determine optimal location for an implant, while avoiding nerves, sinuses, and areas of poor bone
  • Orthognathic Jaw Surgery and Temporo-mandibular Joint (TMJ) Disease:  The CBCT allows us to image the hard tissues and evaluate for any anatomical or structure abnormalities, changes and/or defects
  • Oral Surgery: More precise treatment and considerations prior to tooth removal
  • Endodontics: Clear images of the roots and nerve canals within the teeth in the 3D dimension
  • Sleep Apnea: Image the airway and identify any points that  may require further evaluation by a physician
  • Orthodontics: Evaluate the position of the jaw and teeth 

Is a CBCT right for you?

Your doctor will determine the need for a CBCT. CBCTs deliver a smaller dose of radiation than many other diagnostic tests, repeated exposure to radiation must be limited, particularly for younger patients or those with health problems. Your doctor will review your medical history and weigh the risks, benefits and alternatives prior to taking a CBCT.

Intra-oral Photography

Reviewing treatment can feel overwhelming. We utilize intra-oral cameras for ALL of your treatment, so that you can see what we see the way that we see it. We believe this step is vital to understanding your oral health and treatment needs. Stop wondering, start seeing!

3D Printing

3D Printing allows us to move through the planning phases of treatment in a more fluid and efficient manner. 3D Scanning, 3D CBCT Imaging, and 3D Printing combined have given us the power to cordindate care, all from within the office. From surgical implant planning to cosmetic rehabilitation, 3-D Printing has elevated in-office dental care in both accuracy and efficiency. 

Digital X-rays

Digital X-rays have changed dentistry. By significantly decreasing radiation to low-risk levels, we are now able to monitor patient dental health more closely without the concern of over-radiation. From sensor to computer screen in a split second, your records are easily reviewed and stored.
