In office 3D printing – “Techniques used in dentistry is rapidly changing. With the advent of 3D printable dental resins, we are able to scan, design, print, and delivery a wide variety of dental restorations and appliances. Currently, we are able to print bite guards, dental fillings, dentures, and crowns in our office and, in many cases, delivery the restoration or appliance at the same appointment. This means less time off work, longer lasting solutions to your dental problems, and fewer appointments in the office.”
Our oral imaging system gives our practice the ability to capture high quality digital images, all while limiting dose exposure, which means a safer and quicker dental visit for our patients.

December 9, 2024 Natural teeth aren’t necessarily as white as TV commercials suggest. It’s unfortunate that such an image has given rise to the misconception that white teeth are the embodiment of peak dental health, while any teeth with a hint of yellow—which is well within their natural hue—are often seen as unsightly.

On that note, they more or less use the same solutions, from veneers to dental implants. However, that’s where their similarities end. Even though… Continue reading Comparing Cosmetic and Restorative Dentistry: Advantages of Cosmetic Dentistry
September 25, 2024 Two things usually come to mind when hearing or coming across the term “cosmetic.” The first is that it’s concerned with improving one’s appearance.
