CEREC -
Have you heard of a "crown in a day"? That is what CEREC does. If you are in need of a crown, most can be done in the same appointment, without the need to wear a temporary or come back in two weeks to have the final crown placed. You leave the office the same day with a beautiful porcelain crown.
Under Armor in conjunction with Bite Tech have created a performance mouth guard that helps to improve performance and endurance. Check out the following links to learn more about this exciting product. Please contact our office if you are interested in these new mouth guards.

VelScope -
Approximately 36,000 people in the US will be newly diagnosed with oral cancer in 2010. This includes those cancers that occur mouth itself, in the very back of the mouth known as the oropharynx, and on the exterior lip of the mouth. This is the fourth year in a row in which there has been an increase in the rate of occurrence of oral cancers, in 2007 there was a major jump of over 11% in that single year.*
Because these cancers are not usually diagnosed until a late stage in th
eir development, treatment is typically more agressive and painful.
With the advent of the VelScope, we are able to see deeper into the tissues to recognize possible areas of problem before they have progressed to the stage of cancer.
In the past few years, we have also seen a rise in oral cancer appearing in the 20+ crowd. The concern is that these patients don't have any of the risks factors that are usually seen in oral cancer patients. The VelScope allows us to catch areas that are questionable and prescribe the correct treatment.
