CEREC® Same Day Crowns
CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. It’s a state-of-the-art system that gives Dr. Shlafer the ability to restore your tooth in just one short appointment. Thanks to this technology, you can avoid traditional dental impressions, which are often messy and inaccurate. Instead, Dr. Shlafer will use a small intraoral camera to take a digital impression of your tooth.
This information is sent directly to a milling machine through CEREC’s advanced 3D software. In roughly an hour, your porcelain crown will be ready to place. Each of our crowns are customized to blend in seamlessly with your surrounding teeth, providing you with a stunning smile.
Computer-Guided Implant Surgery
Using our 3D computer imaging software, Dr. Shlafer can create a high-resolution virtual model of your smile. This allows him to view your entire mouth in a way that’s not possible with the naked eye. As a result, he can identify any potential issues that might interfere with your implant surgery and plan accordingly.
By using this technology as a guide, Dr. Shlafer can ensure safe and precise implant placement that will produce spectacular results. In addition, computer-guided surgery can speed up your overall treatment time and minimize the risk of any complications.
LANAP® Treatment For Gum Disease
Many patients need to get treatment for gum disease before they can receive dental implants. Dr. Shlafer is proud to offer LANAP, a far more comfortable and less invasive alternative to traditional surgery. Using the PerioLase MVP-7® from Millennium Dental Technologies, he can remove infected gum tissue without damaging any of your healthy tissue.
LANAP is faster, more effective, and more convenient than other gum disease treatments. Thanks to this technology, you can eliminate gum disease and get ready for implant surgery with minimal discomfort.
