Teeth In A Day

Here's a case Dr. Moreau did today that is a great example of how our CEREC technology can benefit patients by completing restorations in a single visit.

This gentleman wanted his front four teeth fixed, but didn't want to have to wear temporary crowns and then come back for a second visit for delivery of the permanent crowns. With the CEREC (cad-cam, or computer-assisted design/manufacture), Dr. Moreau prepared the teeth this morning for the crowns, took digital impressions, designed the teeth to match the patient's smile, selected shade and had the crowns milled from individual porcelain blocks in-house.

Within a few hours, our happy patient left with a brand new smile. The Waterlase MD laser also helped even out his gumline for a more aesthetic look. And thanks to our professional assistant, Corey, for a precision-perfect assist at chairside with Dr. Moreau. Another reason we believe our team is truly the Dream Team of Dentistry!
