Dental technology has increased our ability to provide safer and more precise dentistry. The intraoral camera and other interactive educational tools help our patients make better decisions about their care.

CEREC One Visit Tooth Restoration

A CEREC crown is designed to conserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible. Our CEREC crowns are single appointment crowns that need no impression taken, require no temporary crown, contain no metal and are extremely durable.

After your tooth is prepared, it is scanned with an electronic camera. The restoration is designed from this scan using the computer-controlled CEREC system and then automatically milled in minutes.

Diagnodent

Diagnosing decay with our Diagnodent technology makes accuracy and precision laser sure every time. This pulsed light instrument lets us see the invisible so that we can tell precisely where cavities are and equally important, where they are not. We can preserve more tooth structure by monitoring high-risk areas with confidence and when necessary, treating decay while it is still in the very early stages. You’ll never have to worry about over or under treating decay. The laser-accurate Diagnodent takes the science of diagnosing to the ultimate levels of precision.

TMJ Pain Relief

Our new non-surgical advances can even soothe TMJ discomfort. TMJ syndrome - the jaw joint - can cause headaches, earaches, nausea and other discomfort. Let us help you get relief. We can use appliances to move the jaw to a pain-free position.

Illuminating Intraoral Exams

Intraoral technology gives us an advantage over previous detection methods. It also helps you know more about your care. Deciding what will best accomplish your goals can be daunting. The intraoral camera provides the kind of evidence you need to make an informed decision. Furthermore, it can detect cavities before they hurt.

The intraoral camera, about the size of a pen, lets you see up-close exactly how your smile looks and the condition of your teeth, on a television screen.

Superior Safety Setting

Our sanitary standards create a worry-free environment that extends a level of comfort beyond your visit. All non-disposed instruments are heat-sterilized for germ-free use.

In addition, we wear gloves and masks during patient examinations and treatments. Each exam room fixture is cleaned and sanitized regularly to eliminate bacteria and prevent its development. Our safety standards meet and usually exceed ADA and OSHA recommendations.

Be assured that your safety is our main concern. Dr. Bedich has successfully completed the American Heart Association's Advanced Cardiac Life Support Course in 1996, 1998, 2000 and 2001.

Invisalign

Many adults and teenagers now have the option of straightening their teeth with out the use of metal braces. Invisalign uses a series of clear removable aligners that are designed to facilitate tooth movement. Each set of aligners is worn for approximately 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush and floss.
