Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, or CEREC, technology enables us to prepare custom-made, high-quality dental crowns the same day as your initial appointment. Traditional dental techniques require at least two visits to complete many dental restorations, but CEREC technology is usually ready in just one visit, saving you time and hassle.
CEREC’s advanced scanning capability also eliminates the need for messy impressions. These dental restorations are created from high-quality, durable porcelain matched to your individual tooth color, so your restorations will look natural for years to come.
With CEREC technology, we can create many types of dental restorations, including:
- Dental crowns
- Dental veneers
- Dental inlays and onlays
With CEREC one-visit restorations, you won’t have to deal with temporary crowns, veneers or other restorations, which can be uncomfortable and inconvenient.
To learn more about how CEREC can enhance your dental treatment, call our office at 785-539-5949.
Galileos 3D cone beam imaging technology provides an accurate, comprehensive analysis of your mouth and supporting structures — teeth, jaw, neck, ears, nose and throat — so we can better diagnose a variety of dental conditions and plan the most effective treatments accordingly.
The three-dimensional image helps us identify issues and plan any dental reconstruction needed. We use dental cone beam 3D imaging to:
- Plan dental implant placement
- Evaluate the jaw and face
- View the head and neck as a comprehensive whole
- Diagnose tooth decay (cavities) and other dental problems
- Detect endodontic problems and plan root canal therapy
- Analyze dental and facial trauma
- Plan and evaluate the progress of orthodontic treatment
- Visualize abnormal teeth
- Assess a temporomandibular, or TMJ, disorder

Digital X-rays are an advanced imaging technology that enable us to provide a more accurate diagnosis and create an efficient treatment plan.
Digital radiography speeds up the imaging process, making it more comfortable and convenient than traditional X-rays. Digital X-rays use a digital sensor to take images of your teeth, unlike traditional X-rays that use film. They also use significantly less radiation than conventional film X-rays. The digital images are available immediately, so our dentists can view the high-quality images on monitors right in your treatment room to quickly identify and diagnose several types of dental problems, such as:
- Tooth decay between teeth
- Developmental dental abnormalities
- Improper tooth root positioning
- Oral cysts and abscesses
- Fractures in existing fillings
- Oral tumors
- Infection in tooth nerves
- Bone loss
Digital dental X-rays can also be used to plan oral surgery procedures, root canal treatment, dental implants, orthodontics and more.

An intraoral camera provides a closer look at different parts of your smile. This small, pen-shaped device takes high-quality color photos of your teeth, gums and other areas of your mouth as needed. Because the intraoral camera is so small, it can easily reach parts of your mouth that we cannot easily view with the unaided eye. Intraoral cameras help our dentists better evaluate your oral health, making it easier to diagnose dental problems like tooth decay and periodontal disease or assess tooth damage like a cracked or chipped tooth in hard-to-see areas. The intraoral camera is also useful when following up after a dental treatment to ensure your mouth is healing properly.
The high-quality images also allow you to visualize your mouth and gain a better understanding of your oral health and dental treatments. We can also send these photos when referring you to other dentists or oral surgery specialists and submit them to dental insurance companies as needed.
