Dental Imaging Software
Dental imaging software allows us to simulate cosmetic
and other procedures so you can see the effect on
your smile before we start! We take digital pictures
of your teeth and then use a sophisticated computer
simulation program to create the projected "after"
images.
|
 |
Soft Tissue Laser
Modern soft tissue lasers are used to cosmetically
contour gums, lengthen
crowns to provide ample structure for restoration,
and treat pockets of infection during gum
treatment.
Lasers help sterilize the treatment site, provide
the maximum amount of control, minimize bleeding,
and are virtually painless during the procedure and
post-operatively.
|
|
Hard Tissue Laser
The DeLight™ Erbium YAG dental
laser is a pulsed light that provides pinpoint accuracy
to gently remove decay without the need for anesthesia
or the drill in most cases.
The ErYAG dental laser helps sterilize as it works
and is less traumatic to the tooth than the drill.
Bond strengths of white fillings to the tooth are
also improved by 50% over conventional techniques.
|
 |
Advanced Medications
As part of the comprehensive treatment we offer our
patients, we have chosen an ultrasonic instrument,
the Pro-Select
3®, that is based on
piezoelectric techology. This instrument is the latest
in ultrasonic techology .This instrument was chosen
because of it's effectiveness in removing plaque,
tarter and stains while at the same time being more
comfortable to the patient than traditional older
techology ultrasonic scaling systems.The Pro-Select
3® system also is designed
to gently administer medicaments under the gums when
needed. Both our hygienists have the Pro-Select
3® system in their respective
operatories, as part of their armamentarium in helping
our patients with their periodontal care.

Precision Zeiss Optics
Dr. Garant has been using magnification
for all operative procedures for approx 15 years.
According to Dr. Garant, "Your hands are only
as good as your eyes." Dr. Garant uses Zeiss
magnification in all procedures to perform at a level
of precision otherwise not possible.

 |
Intraoral Camera
Our intraoral camera uses a tiny fiber-optic wand
to easily take vivid photographs of the inside of
your mouth. This allows us to let you see what we
see.

Veneers
New technology in veneer fabrication allows us to
perform dazzling transformations.

Ceramic Reconstruction step by step
The defective filling and decay is removed.
A reflective powder layer prepares the tooth for imaging.
|
 |
- An optical 3D image is acquired with a small camera,
directly in your mouth.
- The restoration is created on the screen using
the image data.
- Diamond coated instruments mill a ceramic block
reproduce the design.
- This is accomplished during a single appointment
using Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacture
(CAD/CAM).
|
 |
- After polishing, the new restoration fits precisely.
- A unique light hardens the bonding material, uniting
porcelain and tooth.
- Polishing or glazing ensures a pleasantly smooth
and natural feel.
- The colour and appearance make the special ceramic
material bland with your tooth.
- Perfectly bonded porcelain ensures an extremely
long life for your teeth.
- Maximum strength, great looks!
|
Fillings (inlays/onlays)
|
|
After decay and old filling material is
removed... |
|
|
The individually manufactured ceramic will
be fitted exactly. |
|
|
Depending on severity, the whole procedure
will last between one and two hours. |
Crowns
|
|
For more heavily compromised teeth, a traditional
treatment has been a crown restoration, which can take
several separate appointments. |
|
|
Using the CEREC
method, crown restoration is completed in a single appointment.
No impressions, no temporary crowns - no need for a second
injection. |
|
|
A treatment time of one to two hours is
normal. |
Veneers
|
|
Malpositioned and discoloured teeth can
be restored with porcelain veneers. |
|
|
Your tooth is adjusted and a thin layer of porcelain is
bonded securely to your tooth. |
|
|
Perfect looks, perfect fit make a wonderful,
natural smile - all in a single appointment. |
Why CEREC?
- Protects and preserves your own tooth's structural integrity
- Ceramics are bio-compatible
- Only one appointment
- Natural looking
- Cerec Ceramic restorations are proven to be much longer
lasting and more durable than traditional white plastic
resin fillings
- Unquestionably the most cost effective restoration we
have available today
