Your journey to a restored smile at Meadowcrest Dental is a collaborative process, guided by our commitment to precision, patient comfort, and lasting results.
- Comprehensive Examination and Digital Diagnostics: The process begins with a thorough examination of your oral health. We utilize advanced diagnostic tools, including digital X-rays and our state-of-the-art intraoral scanner.
- Personalized Treatment Planning and Discussion: Based on the diagnostic findings, our dentist will discuss your treatment options in detail, ensuring that you feel fully informed and comfortable with the proposed plan.
- Preparation and Material Selection: Depending on the chosen restorative procedure, the affected tooth or area will be meticulously prepared. For example, if a cavity is present, the decayed portion of the tooth will be carefully removed. We use high-quality, biocompatible materials for all our restorations.
- Precision Crafting with Cutting-Edge Laboratories: For restorations like crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, and veneers, our digital impressions are seamlessly sent to our trusted cutting-edge dental laboratories. These laboratories utilize advanced technology and skilled ceramists to custom-craft restorations that fit perfectly, function optimally, and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth in terms of color, shape, and translucency. The precision afforded by our digital scanner ensures an excellent fit for your final restoration.
- Placement and Final Adjustments: Once your custom restoration arrives from the lab, we will meticulously bond or cement it into place. We then carefully check your bite and make any necessary minor adjustments to ensure comfortable chewing and proper alignment. For direct restorations like fillings, the material is placed and shaped directly in our office.
- Aftercare and Maintenance: After your restorative treatment, we provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you care for your new restoration and maintain optimal oral health. Regular check-ups and professional cleanings at Meadowcrest Dental are essential to monitor the longevity of your restorations and prevent new issues from arising.
