Frequently Asked Questions About General Dentistry
Why is it so important to receive regular dental care?
Routine dental care is no less crucial than visiting your physician. Oral health and overall health can affect each other. For example, if you have gum disease, you may be more prone to heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and preterm birth.
How do same-day restorations work?
The CEREC system works by digitally scanning the patient's existing tooth and then repeating the scan after preparing the area. The data from the scans helps your dentist design the permanent restoration, which the CEREC machine will mill in minutes.
