CEREC
CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. What CEREC allows us to do is design and create dental restorations (like crowns) right in our office. Instead of waiting weeks for your dental restoration to be made in a lab, you’ll be able to have your restoration made the same day. Same-day dental crowns are fast and convenient.

Laser
Our Grand Rapids laser dentists use a soft-tissue dental laser on your gums to minimize bleeding, speed up recovery time, and even eliminate the need for stitches. Our dentists are trained to use the iLase® diode laser from Biolase. While there are many different types of dental lasers, the laser we use is specifically for procedures involving your gums.

Digital X-Rays
Unlike traditional X-rays, digital dental X-rays expose you to less radiation. Digital X-rays are also more precise, which means our dentists are able to diagnose issues with your teeth and jaws more accurately. It also takes less time for our dentist to take pictures of your teeth using digital X-rays than it would to use older technology, which means you get to spend less time in the dentist’s chair.

X-MIND® TRIUM
To be a candidate for the dental implant procedure, you must have sufficient bone density in your jaw to support the implant. Otherwise, the tooth implant will fail. Fortunately, our dentists use X-MIND® TRIUM to take clear images of your jaw and surrounding oral structures. Learn more about our Grand Rapids X-MIND TRIUM →
