CEREC Digital Dentistry System
CEREC technology is a system that utilizes CAD/CAM software, a digital impression system, and an in-house milling machine to create beautiful, customized dental restorations in a single visit. Instead of having to send an impression to a dental laboratory to be crafted by technicians who have never seen your mouth, our team will be completing the entire process in-house, all within a single visit. It doesn’t require any gag-inducing putty and takes a process that usually takes place over the course of two weeks and condenses it to one two- to three-hour appointment.
White Fillings and Porcelain Onlays
When cavities strike, we know exactly what to do to restore and protect your smile from future threats of decay. Utilizing aesthetic tooth-colored materials like composite resin and porcelain, our dentists in Columbia are able to fill in the damage left behind by decay with tooth-colored fillings and porcelain onlays.
Onlays allow Dr. Weng and Dr. Santos to preserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible, as each restoration is custom-fitted to your tooth, while fillings are ideal for less dire instances of decay. Each treatment stops the cavity from spreading and seals off the inner chamber of the tooth from bacteria to prevent infections from developing.
Aesthetic Zirconia and Porcelain Dental Crowns
Aesthetically pleasing zirconia and porcelain crowns will offer you the best in both appearance and durability, as both materials can withstand daily wear. Your dental crown will be customized to match the color of surrounding teeth in addition to perfectly fit atop your prepared tooth for maximized protection. With good oral hygiene and routine professional maintenance these crowns can last for 15 years or longer.
Benefits of Restorative Dentistry
Restorative dental treatments like crowns and fillings will help improve the function of your teeth, enhance the appearance of your smile, prevent additional damage to your natural teeth, and help reduce sensitivity and other uncomfortable effects of decay and damage.
