Cerec Crowns In One Day

Porcelain crowns transmit the light like natural teeth and do not darken them like conventional porcelain fused to metal crowns. Our office is proud to be one of the few in the West Palm Beach area that uses the Cerec system to fabricate computer designed and milled porcelain crowns in one day.

The Dental Microscope

Our newest aquisiton in dental technology is the Surgical Microscope. The incredible amount of detail that we can see, and was not visible before, allows us to provide the excellent results that we strive for in our work.
The surgical microscope has already become the standard of care in Root Canal Therapy, and allows visualization of areas and conditions that, if unseen, would cause treatment failure.
We are extremely happy to be one of the very few General Dentists in Palm Beach County utilizing the surgical microscope in the treatment of our patients.

Why Are Teeth Sensitive?

A small amout of sensitivity to changes in temperature (like very cold or hot liquids) is normal in a healthy tooth, but several things can cause a tooth to become extra sensitive(hypersensitive) and some of these are:

• Cavities
• Wear From Hard Toothbrush
• Wear From Grinding Teeth
• Root Exposure From Gum Recession
• A New Filling
• A Dental Deep Cleaning Or Root Planing
• A Fractured Or Chipped Tooth
• Bleaching Or Whithening Treatments

The best way to treat sensitive teeth is to have your dentist determine the cause and recommend the most appropiate treatment. These are some of the thing that can reduce or eliminate sensitivity:

• Fill any cavities on sensitive teeth
• Protect worn, fractured or chipped teeth with a crown or onlay
• Cover exposed roots with a filling material or a gum graft
• Brush with a toothpaste made for sensitive teeth
• Apply a desensitizing solution or gel to sensitive teeth

Brushing and flossing with a soft toothbrush and using a toothpaste for sensitive teeth three or more times daily should be done routinely if you have sensitive teeth. If this does not reduce or eliminate the sensitivity, consult your dentist.

If you have any concerns or questions about sensitivity, please call us. We appreciate the opportunity to answer your questions.
