Advanced Dental Technology
Dr. Crumpton is at the cutting edge of his field, providing high-quality dentistry using the latest techniques and equipment.
Ad the field of dentistry advances, it generally means less invasive and less painful procedures, better ways to detect problems before they start, and overall less time in the dental chair with better, faster results for you.
Cosmetic Imaging
One of the key tools Dr. Crumpton uses is Cosmetic Imaging. Using advanced digital imaging technology, Dr. Crumpton takes pictures of your teeth and digitally enhances them using special computer software to show you how your smile would look using different procedures.
This gives you the opportunity to see what your new smile will look like before committing to any treatment.
CEREC Onsite Laboratory
One-Visit Crowns, Veneers, Onlays & Inlays
CEREC stands for CERamic REConstruction. We take a 3-dimensional photo of your tooth and custom-craft, using computer-assisted design, a perfectly molded restoration. Minutes later we bond your final restorations in place.
Using our in-office CEREC laboratory, we can create crowns, veneers, onlays and inlays in only one visit.
CEREC restorations are milled from a single block of high-quality ceramic, a substance that is particularly compatible with the body and that has the same characteristics as normal, healthy dental enamel. CEREC ceramic expands in the same way as teeth do, and also because it comes from a single block, a CEREC restoration is less prone to cracks and flaws than other types of restoration.
Laser Gum Cleaning and Laser Gum Surgery
We use soft-tissue lasers for in-depth gum cleaning and to correct a “gummy smile”. When used for cleaning, the laser breaks up the tartar and it is flushed out allowing the gums to heal more effectively. Cosmetic gum surgery is the procedure of lengthening your teeth from the neck of the tooth upwards. Your teeth then appear to be longer and much less gum is seen when you smile.
DIAGNOdent Early Detection of Decay
The DIAGNOdent is a pen-like probe that sends a safe, painless laser beam into the tooth and checks its health. A number scale and an alarm will signal when there are signs of hidden decay. This allows us to determine if decay is lurking beneath the apparently healthy tooth surface.
This technology allows us to catch tooth decay at an earlier stage, before the tooth is destroyed from the inside out. This will help prevent more extensive procedures.
State-of-the-Art Digital X-Rays
These emit much less radiation than traditional x-rays. They allow the doctor and patient to see small details like cavities beginning between teeth so they both can see exactly what work needs to be done. It is much more accurate and helps set the patient at ease.
IntraOral Camera
With an intraoral camera Dr. Davidson and Dr. Deak can see everything that is going in your mouth. It's the size and shape of a dental mirror with a built-in light source and can zoom in up to 25 times magnification. The images are displayed on a television or computer monitor.
