ADVANCES IN PORCELAIN They finally have created porcelain that combines strength with esthetics. In the past, esthetic porcelain was brittle and susceptible to fracture. The porcelain used in our cases is guaranteed against fracture for 7 years! Whenever possible, our impressions are digitized with a micro scan to create a virtual model. This model provides greater clarity, efficiency and accuracy to create crowns and bridges needing little adjustment. As a bonus, your virtual model is stored in the cloud for future reference.

APEX LOCATOR
The endodontic procedure is made simpler as an apex finder is used t o find where the tip of the root is located without having to take multiple x-rays. An electrical circuit is used to determine the ideal length and thickness of the files used to clean out the canal. Having the correct determination of the tooth length is a crucial factor for the success of root canal therapy. PANORAMIC RADIOGRAPHY The panorex x-ray allows the doctor to get an overview of all the teeth, bone structure and sinuses in one picture. There is no film involved with this x-ray as electronic sensors send the image onto the computer screen and then printed on photo paper for review. This x-ray can be easily shared with specialists and insurance companies for their review. Unfortunately the technology for single periapical x-rays require a bulky sensor placed inside the patient's mouth. When they improve on the technology in which the sensor is at least the thickness of an x-ray film then we will convert to fully digital x-rays.
