A Life Without Caries

How would you like it if you and your family never got another cavity? Is this even possible? The future may be here now.

Cavities are caused by a bacterial infection known as caries. This infection is not only treatable but preventable. We use the CariFree program. Carifree was developed to help patients become cavity free by assessing risks for dental disease, diagnosing the presence of the caries infection that causes caries and treating the infection using preventive medical techniques.

During your visit you will receive a caries risk assessment. We will evaluate whether you have factors present that put you at risk for decay. We then customize a home care program with the products and instructions needed to help keep you and your family cavity free.

We would much rather help patients prevent cavities than fix cavities.

The CariFree program has been amazingly effective in doing just that.

The Truth About Crowns

Making crowns for teeth used to be a complicated process. The "usual" method involved taking an impression of the tooth and sending it to a lab where it takes a long time to create the crown. While waiting for the crown, the patient would wear a temporary crown, which didn't look good and could break easily. Only after the lab-made crown is complete can the patient come back for a second or third visit. Thank goodness these days are over!

Using E4D technology, the worn, chipped, or decayed teeth can be replaced with perfect tooth colored restorations. These restorations are bonded to the teeth and can last for years and years. E4D technology also allows us to complete the whole process in just 1 visit! You will leave with your permanent teeth with no need for a temporary crown. The result is a beautiful, strong, and metal-free crown restoration. Have no fear after the restoration and eat normally right away. E4D technology offered by Preston Dental is the best option for tooth restoration.

Crowns are No Longer Complicated

Making crowns used to be a complicated process. This process usually involves taking an impression of the tooth, sending it to a lab, and waiting while it takes up to three weeks to actually create your crown. In the meantime, you wear a temporary piece that does not look good and can break, and you need to return for a second or even a third visit!

Thank goodness the process has been updated with E4D™ technology. Preston Dental uses E4D™ technology to replace worn, chipped, or a decayed tooth with perfect tooth colored restoration. These restorations are directly bonded to the teeth, and last for years and years! The best part is that we do it in one visit while you wait, and you will leave with our permanent crown. There is no need for temporary crowns and weeks of waiting. The result is a beautiful, durable, metal-free crown or restoration. You can even enjoy your next meal normally with no worries.
