CEREC

Advanced technology offered at NSRID goes by the acronym CEREC, for (CERamic REContstruction) which utilizes a variety of computer assisted technologies, including 3D photography and CAD/CAM for the restoring of decayed, cracked, or chipped teeth.

CEREC can create full crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers in a single sitting in a matter of minutes, rather than the multiple visits required with earlier techniques. CEREC restorations are made of compressed porcelain, which is why they are stronger than laboratory restorations, which are layered porcelain.

The most beneficial feature of a CEREC restoration is that we can do it all in two hours in our office, with no uncomfortable impression material to bite on or temporary to wear.

CEREC is the best restoration option available to patients as;

• It is engineered to be just like tooth
• It is bio-compatible, long lasting and doesn’t stain
• It protects and preserve remaining natural tooth structure from breaking
• It looks and feels like tooth.

Diagnodent

The Diagnodent helps detect dental caries at the earliest possible stage so that the most appropriate treatment can be presented to you.

Diagnodent is a fluorescent laser that finds cavities which lie beneath the surface of the tooth. There are often cavities that x-rays and the explorer do not find. This advanced technology helps to preserve a greater amount of your tooth structure by uncovering dental decay before it progresses too far.

Digital X-Rays

Digital x-rays are quickly becoming the standard in dental imaging.

Digital x-rays allow the doctor to get a much better view of your teeth and potential dental conditions. The digital imaging software allows the doctor to see a number of different views of the tooth to gain a better understanding of the proper course of management. Digital x-rays provide a great benefit to the patient. Not only are they an excellent diagnostic tool, but they decrease radiation to the patient by over 80%.

Intra-Oral Camera

An Intra-Oral Camera works the same way as your home video camera: an image is taken in the mouth and displayed on TV or monitor in real time.

With an intra-oral digital camera, patient education is simplified by being able to help the patient see what the dentist sees. Intraoral Digital Cameras allow your Dentist to visualize more, helping diagnose fractures the naked eye would never have seen.
