Oral Surgery / Extractions

A dental extraction is the removal of a tooth from the mouth.

Extractions are performed for a wide variety of reasons, including:

• Tooth decay that has destroyed enough tooth structure to render the tooth non-restorable
• Extractions of impacted or problematic wisdom teeth
• Extraction of extra teeth that block other teeth from coming in
• Extractions of some permanent teeth to make space for orthodontic treatment

CEREC Technology allows us to provide our patients with Same Day Restorations.
No more messy impression materials or hassle with annoying temporaries! CAD/CAM Technology offers our patients the opportunity to have a beautiful restoration designed, fabricated and delivered in a single appointment! Here’s how:
Using, CEREC Technology, we are able to take a photo scan of your tooth with a special laser camera that safely captures the anatomy of the prepared tooth and renders it as a 3-dimensional image.

We then customizes your crown, inlay or onlay using your digital “impression” and 3D imaging software while you relax with a magazine or music headphones.

After the doctor approves the final design, the CEREC milling system employs CAD/CAM technology to shape your restoration from a high-strength, metal-free ceramic or composite block in a shade to match your smile. This eliminates the repeat visit after sending the impression off to a lab, as this is now able to be done right in the office while you are in the chair!
