CEREC One-Visit Crowns & Porcelain Veneers
Intraoral camera
Intraoral cameras are tiny digital cameras that fit comfortably in your mouth and enable your dentist to show you an enlarged image of your smile on a computer screen. The camera is located in the tip of the Intraoral wand and transmits real-time video for you and Dr. Mooore to review. Not only does this allow you to see what is really happening in your mouth, it also documents what is seen, uploading it to a computer. Information can then be printed out to provide a hard copy picture for your records or for procedure verification by your insurance company.
Panoramic x-rays
Panoramic X-Ray
The panoramic X-ray gives a broad overview of the entire mouth. It is also used for evaluating patients:
- with past or present TMJ or jaw joint problems
- who require full or partial removable dentures, dental implants or braces
- who are at risk or suspected of having oral cancer or other tumors of the jaw
- have impacted teeth (especially wisdom teeth) or have had any recent trauma to the face or teeth (e.g. can help identify a fractured jaw)
- and for those who cannot tolerate other types of films (severe gaggers)
The panoramic X-ray is an important part of a thorough dental examination and should be done every several years as it can pick-up potential problems that the other X-rays cannot.
CEREC On-Site Laboratory
One-Visit Crowns, Veneers, Onlays & Inlays
The CEREC On-Site Laboratory mills high-quality ceramic restorations in one visit
CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. We take a 3-dimensional photo of your tooth and custom-craft, using computer-assisted design, a perfectly molded restoration. Minutes later we bond your final restorations in place.
Using our in-office CEREC laboratory, we can create crowns, veneers, onlays and inlays in only one visit. CEREC restorations are milled from a single block of high-quality ceramic, a substance that is particularly compatible with the body and that has the same characteristics as normal, healthy dental enamel. CEREC ceramic expands in the same way as teeth, and also, because it comes from a single block, a CEREC restoration is less prone to cracks and flaws than other restorations.

Waterlase® Laser
Waterlase® is a versatile tool that allows Dr. Moore to perform procedures with less trauma and do procedures that can't be done with traditional tools such as the drill and scalpel. This lessens the need for shots and anesthesia.
