At Beaver Creek Dental, we place a heavy emphasis on continuing education. We believe that to be great clinicians, we must never stop learning. Staying up to date with the latest techniques and trends also means being up to date on the latest technology.
Our same-day crown unit, called a CEREC system, is one of the most modern pieces of technology on the market. If your tooth needs a crown, instead of taking an impression, sending it to a dental lab, and placing a temporary on your tooth, we use our CEREC unit to capture a digital image of your tooth chairside. We then fabricate your crown in-office using a tooth colored, durable ceramic. All of this can be completed in just one visit, in roughly two hours.
Cone beam computed tomography, or cone beam CT, is a state-of-the-art dental imaging unit that provides our office with 3-dimensional x-rays. These x-rays are especially useful when compared with traditional 2D x-rays due to their increased level of detail and ability to better visualize structures of the mouth and jaws. We commonly use images from our CBCT to aid in dental implant planning, screening for potential sleep apnea, and for diagnosing toothaches where more information is needed.
As you walk through our office, you’ll notice multiple monitors mounted throughout. We use these televisions for entertainment as well as education. We’ll take the time to show you what we see on your x-rays and will take up-close photos of your teeth, blow them up on the screen, and show you exactly what we are seeing. That way, we’re always on the same page.
For your comfort, we can play a movie, your favorite TV show, or music for you throughout your treatment with us. We want our patients to feel comfortable and relaxed and will work to treat each and every patient like part of the family.
When you walk into our office, you’ll immediately see the difference. For your convenience and privacy, our record keeping is entirely digital. Your paperwork is completed electronically on an iPad, which cuts down on time for you and keeps your records more safe and secure.
Dr. Smith personally hand-selected every piece of dental equipment and material that we use at Beaver Creek Dental to provide the greatest benefit to our patients.
