Digital Radiography 2007

We are very excited to announce that Orangeille Dental Centre is now digital!!!

Computerized digital radiographs take instant and extremely low radiation x-rays or images less than 90% radiation than conventional films.  They use no film or chemical to process.  This is great news for us and the environment!

The image of the digital radiograph is projected in a matter of seconds onto a computer monitor for immediate dicussion, assesment, education and treatment planning.  There is no longer any wasted time on processing, retakes and mounting.  Thus, our team spends less time in the dark room and more time with you discusasing the health of your teeth.

Cerec     

Using a camera, a computer and a milling machine. Dr. Kokonas, an Orangeville dentist, is preparing and placing natural looking ceramic filling for patients in a single office visit.

The new dental components belong to a CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design/ Computer Aided Manufacturing) instruments allows dentists to repair a damaged tooth in one visit using tooth-colored restorations or "fillings."  Dentists no longer need to take impressions or create temporaries for some cases and unlike the old  procedure where patients made a second visit to insert the restoration, this procedure is done in one visit.

The cerec system enables, Dr.  Kokonas to satisfy patients seeking a long lasting esthetic alternative to silver or plastic fillings  Veneers and partial to full crowns and all other single tooth restorations can be created by cerec.

To make the restoration, Dr. Kokonas first paints a reflective powder over the prepared tooth.  Using a special camera, she takes an accurate picture of the tooth.  This optical impression is transferred and displayed on a color computer screen, where CAD technology is used to design the restoration.  Then CAM takes over and automatically creates the restoration while the patient waits.  Finally, the new restoration is bonded to the surface of the old tooth.

Some Benefits of Cerec:

  • A single-appointment restoration-only one visit needed
  • An efficient appointment-less time spent in the dental chair
  • A natural-looking filling-no more silver metal-mouth
  • A healthier, metal free filling
  • No messy impressions or ill-fitting temporaries
  • A restoration that matches the natural color of your teeth
  • A resoration that is anti-abrasive, bio compatible and resistant to plaque
  • A durable restoration-Cerec fillings don't leak or break like traditional fillings
  • Proven technology-ten years of clinical research and over four million restorations performed worldwide

Cerec has over a decade of clinical research and documentation to support the technology.  The restorations have been proven precise, safe and effective.
