Same-Day Restorations With CEREC® Technology

At Tuckahoe Creek Dental, we’re proud to offer same-day crowns, bridges and veneers using CEREC® technology. Traditionally, getting a crown, bridge or veneers required multiple appointments, messy impressions and wearing a temporary crown for weeks. With CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics), we can digitally scan your tooth, design your custom restoration, mill your crown and place it all in a single visit.

Intraoral Camera

An intraoral camera is a small device the size of a pen that captures exceptionally high-resolution images of your teeth and gums in real time. This advanced technology allows Dr. Graham and your dental team to detect cavities early, monitor the health of your gums, detect cracks or wear on the teeth and find any other abnormalities.

Digital Impressions

Say goodbye to goopy and uncomfortable trays! Our advanced intraoral scanners create detailed 3D images of your teeth in far less time and are much more comfortable. These highly detailed images help us plan dental treatments like crowns, veneers, Invisalign® clear aligners and dental implants with precision. Not only is the process more comfortable for you, but it also helps you envision and get excited about your new smile! You’ll be able to see what we see on screen, making it easier to understand your treatment options.

Digital X-Rays

Our digital X-ray technology provides high-resolution images while using significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays. These images appear instantly on our monitors, allowing Dr. Graham to walk you through findings in real time, reinforcing our commitment to patient education and transparency. With advanced technology such as digital imaging, we can detect cavities earlier, identify bone loss, evaluate infections, monitor developing concerns and plan implant placement more accurately and effectively.

Air Abrasion

Air abrasion is a drill-free technique that uses a controlled stream to remove very small areas of early tooth decay. This “micro-sandblasting” approach targets only the decayed portion of the tooth, therefore preserving the healthy parts and rest of the tooth structure.

Because this advanced technology technique often requires little to no anesthesia, it can make the entire experience more comfortable and stress-free. It’s especially beneficial for children, patients with dental anxiety, treating tiny cavities and preparing teeth for bonding.

3D Printing (For Same-Day Crowns)

3D printing allows Dr. Graham to create same-day crowns quickly and comfortably right in our office. After your tooth is digitally scanned, advanced software designs a custom crown that fits your smile perfectly. A 3D printer then builds the crown layer by layer using strong, tooth-colored material. This technology helps eliminate messy impressions and temporary crowns so you can leave your appointment with a natural-looking, durable restoration in just one visit.

Cone Beam CT (CBCT) Imaging

Cone Beam CT (CBCT) imaging provides a three-dimensional view of your entire dental anatomy, something that traditional X-rays cannot do. With these highly detailed 3D scans, Dr. Graham can evaluate your dental anatomy including bone density, nerve positioning and more with exceptional precision.

We use advanced technology like CBCT imaging to shorten treatment time and create safer, more predictable outcomes for our patients. For patients looking to restore their smile and replace missing teeth, CBCT imaging can help with dental implant treatment planning.

Purpose. Precision. Quality.
