CEREC Same-Day Crowns
Gone are the days of multiple appointments for a dental crown! Acre Wood Dental is proud to feature CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) technology, allowing us to design, mill, and place high-quality dental crowns right here in our office.
Your entire crown restoration can be completed from start to finish in just one visit. This means less time off work or away from your family, and no need for temporary crowns. Using advanced 3D imaging, CEREC creates a precise digital impression of your tooth, eliminating the need for messy traditional molds. This ensures an exceptionally accurate fit for your new crown.
CEREC crowns are crafted from durable, tooth-colored ceramic materials that are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural smile, and the streamlined process means less discomfort and a quicker path to a fully restored tooth.
CBCT Scans: Detailed 3D Imaging for Superior Diagnostics
At Acre Wood Dental, we utilize Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), a revolutionary imaging technique that produces highly detailed 3D dental images. This advanced technology provides a comprehensive view of your oral structures, far beyond what traditional 2D X-rays can offer.
Unlike conventional 2D images that provide a flat view, CBCT imaging generates a three-dimensional reconstruction of your teeth, jawbone, nerves, and soft tissues. This allows for an in-depth understanding of your anatomy. The detailed scan provides immediate results with the most accurate information, enabling our dentists to precisely diagnose conditions, plan complex procedures (like dental implant placement or root canals), and identify potential issues that might be missed with less advanced imaging.
From orthodontic evaluations to wisdom tooth extractions and implant placement, CBCT imaging allows for superior pre-surgical planning, ensuring predictable and successful outcomes. As an added benefit, CBCT scans use a significantly lower radiation dose compared to traditional medical CT scans, making them a safer choice for dental diagnostics.
Laser Dentistry
Acre Wood Dental also features the benefits of laser dentistry, a cutting-edge approach that revolutionizes many dental procedures. Dental lasers offer a non-invasive and highly precise alternative to traditional drills and scalpels, leading to a more comfortable patient experience and quicker recovery times.
For many procedures, the precision of the laser means little to no discomfort, often eliminating the need for local anesthesia. Laser treatments are minimally invasive, resulting in less bleeding, reduced swelling, and faster healing compared to conventional methods.
Laser dental treatments can be used for a wide range of applications, including:
- Cavity Detection: Identifying decay in its earliest stages, often before it's visible to the naked eye.
- Tooth Preparation: Precisely preparing a tooth for a filling, often without the need for a drill.
- Treating Tooth Sensitivity: Sealing tubules in sensitive teeth to provide lasting relief.
- Gum Reshaping: Contouring gum tissue for cosmetic improvements or to treat gum disease.
- Soft Tissue Procedures: Performing frenectomies, removing fibromas, and treating canker sores with enhanced precision and comfort.
Our investment in these advanced technologies means you will receive the best results possible while spending less time in treatment and experiencing greater comfort.
