CEREC Crowns - CEREC is an acronym for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. CEREC means we can use strong, tooth colored ceramic materials to restore your teeth to their natural strength, beauty, and function. CEREC is metal free, no silver fillings to discolor your smile. How does CEREC work?
- The defective filling & decay is removed.
- A reflective powder prepares the tooth for imaging.
- An optical 3D image is acquired with a small camera, directly in your mouth.
- The restoration is created on a computer screen.
- Diamond coated instruments mill a ceramic block to reproduce the design.
- After polishing, a unique light hardens the material, uniting porcelain & tooth.
Perfectly bonded porcelain ensures an extremely long life for your teeth. Maximum strength, great looks!
Oral Conscious Sedation - How many times have you wished that you could just sleep right through your appointment? Well, we have the solution, called oral conscious sedation. It's called conscious because you are still aware of where you are but you are so relaxed that you are no longer focused on your surroundings. You may benefit from Conscious Sedation if you have a lot of stress, fear and anxiety about going to the dentist. "You are afraid of the Dentist". If you need or require a lot of dental treatment, you should consider the use of Conscious Sedation. Conscious Sedation is sometimes called "Sedation Dentistry" or "Relaxation Dentistry". Conscious Sedation will allow most people to overcome the stress fear and anxiety associated with Dental Treatment, because they can relax during their dental visit. Previous bad dental experiences cause fear and anxiety about Dentists and Dentistry. If these feelings are preventing you from getting the dentistry that you need, Conscious Sedation can help you.
Digital X-rays - Digital radiographs are one of the newest X-ray techniques around. With digital radiographs, film is replaced with a flat electronic pad or sensor. The X-rays hit the pad the same way they hit the film. But instead of developing the film in a dark room, the image is electronically sent directly to a computer where the image appears on the screen. The image can then be stored on the computer or printed out. Radiation is reduced by as much as 80% over traditional xrays.
Intra Oral Photography - Our intraoral camera is a wand-like device with a tiny magnifying lens that projects a picture from inside your mouth onto a screen. The image, which is magnified up to 40 times its original size, allows Dr. Zimmerman and you to see fractured enamel, gum recession, fracture lines in teeth, and breakdowns of restorations. It is also useful documentation for insurance companies.
For Your Comfort - We at Dr. Zimmerman's strive to make your dental visit as comfortable as possible. Along with great, modern dental care we also offer our visitors beverages and fresh baked bread while waiting; ice cream certificates for our young visitors; televisions in each dental room for your pleasure, as well as warm scented towels for use after your dental procedure.
