BioClear, developed by Nobel Biocare, is a revolutionary dental technology designed for enhancing the aesthetic appearance of one's smile. It serves as an excellent alternative to traditional dental veneers, offering several advantages while maintaining optimal safety and minimal discomfort. The following article provides a comprehensive overview of BioClear, including its features, benefits, and comparison with traditional dental veneers.
BioClear represents a significant advancement in the field of dentistry, specifically catering to those seeking cosmetic solutions for their teeth. Unlike traditional dental veneers that require extensive preparation and potential removal of tooth structure, BioClear maintains a conservative approach by ensuring minimal impact on the health of your natural teeth.
At its core, BioClear is a composite material designed to mimic the translucency of enamel. It's applied directly over the tooth's surface using advanced dental adhesives and cured using a specialized light-curing system, resulting in a durable, aesthetically pleasing finish.
While both BioClear and traditional dental veneers serve to improve the aesthetic appearance of your teeth, they differ significantly in their methodologies and outcomes. Traditional dental veneers often involve a substantial amount of tooth reduction, which can compromise the health of your natural teeth over time. In contrast, BioClear maintains a conservative approach by adhering to the principle that 'minimal intervention' equals 'maximum preservation'.
BioClear also offers superior aesthetics compared to traditional dental veneers due to its ability to mimic the translucency of natural tooth enamel. This property, combined with excellent adhesion characteristics, ensures that BioClear-enhanced teeth exhibit a more lifelike, vibrant appearance than their counterparts.
BioClear treatment involves several steps designed to achieve optimal results. The first step is taking an impression of the patient's teeth to ensure accurate fitting and sizing of the final product. Following this, a custom tray is designed based on these impressions. Once ready, dental adhesive is applied over the patient's teeth.
Subsequently, the BioClear material is applied over the adhesive layer. This mixture consists of nanofillers and specialized monomers that contribute to its strength, durability, and translucency. The composite is then carefully molded and contoured to match the shape and color of the patient's natural teeth.
Following this, a special light-curing system is used to harden the BioClear material, effectively bonding it to the surface of the patient's teeth. Finally, a thin layer of dental lithium disilicate is added as an additional protective barrier, further enhancing durability and minimizing potential sensitivity.
BioClear offers numerous advantages over traditional dental veneers. Firstly, its non-invasive nature ensures that no drilling or removal of tooth structure is required, thus preserving the health and longevity of the patient's natural teeth. Secondly, it provides a more aesthetically pleasing result due to its superior adhesion and ability to mimic the translucency of enamel.
Furthermore, BioClear offers faster treatment times compared to traditional dental veneers, often requiring only one appointment. Additionally, since there is minimal to no discomfort involved in the application process, patients experience less healing time and fewer potential complications.
In conclusion, BioClear presents a modern, conservative alternative for individuals seeking to enhance their smile without undergoing invasive procedures. Its non-invasive nature, excellent aesthetics, minimal discomfort, and quick treatment times make it an appealing choice for both patients and dental professionals alike.

Our office is proud to announce that we now offer Dexis OP 3D CBCT imaging. This state-of-the-art imaging system is highly advanced and provides for detailed 3D images of a patient's teeth, jawbone, and surrounding anatomy.
OP 3D CBCT imaging is beneficial for dental patients in a number of ways. It allows dentists to make more accurate diagnoses and treatment plans. Additionally, the detailed 3D imaging allows for more precise placement of implants, root canals, oral surgery, discovery of pathology and other treatments. When integrated with CEREC, the CBCT scan can be used to create custom restorations that fit the patient's mouth perfectly as well as design and 3D print surgical guides to aid in implant optimization.
Having an on-site CBCT scanner is a huge advantage for our office, as we are able to provide our patients with immediate access to this cutting-edge technology. This saves our patients time and money, as they don’t have to visit another location for the scan.
It is also important to note that CBCT scans are very safe and can reduce radiation exposure for patients compared to traditional X-rays.
Our office is committed to providing our patients with the most advanced technology and the highest quality care. We are excited to offer this technology to provide safer, more accurate and effective dental treatment.
CEREC® offers convenient, faster and more comfortable care to provide a range of high quality same day restorations including ceramic crowns, inlays and onlays.
In just one appointment you can have a naturally beautiful restoration to enhance the beauty and function of your smile. With CEREC® there is no need for multiple office visits, messy dental impressions, a temporary crown, or waiting weeks for your dental work to come back from the laboratory. Your new restoration is designed and customized to the exact specifications of your smile all in the very same day!
CEREC® is an advanced method of care, which allows for the preparation and placement of same day ceramic restorations. Offering the utmost in terms of quality and convenience, this high-tech system utilizes CAD/CAM technology, or computer aided design and computer aided manufacturing to make every step of the restoration process more patient-friendly and precise. Using an ergonomically designed intraoral scanning wand in place of a conventional dental impression, the dentist is able to capture detailed 3D images of the prepared tooth and surrounding dentition. These images are then integrated by an advanced computer software program to produce an accurate model and plan a precise fitting, functional, and cosmetically pleasing restoration. As soon the restoration is designed and approved by the dentist, the information is sent wirelessly to a chairside milling machine where a ceramic restoration is fabricated as the patient waits.
A CEREC® single visit crown offers much more than a convenient approach to getting a dental crown. It is a high quality, naturally beautiful, extremely durable and long-lasting dental restoration!
Today, there's no need to merely imagine how nice it would be to have a dental crown fabricated in a single visit. With CEREC technology and advanced systems of care, multiple trips to the dentist are a thing of the past! Now, one appointment is all it takes for our skilled and experienced dentist to design, fabricate, and place a naturally beautiful and long-lasting same-day crown. And, best of all, unlike conventional methods of care, you won't have to endure messy dental impressions, wear a temporary crown, or wait weeks for your permanent restoration to come back from the laboratory.
Offering a level of precision and comfort that exceeds conventional methods of care, CEREC technology is nothing short of amazing! Advanced CAD/CAM technology, which stands for computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing, enables our dentist to translate images from an optically scan tooth into a 3D virtual model upon which a custom crown can be digitally designed. Once this step is done, the detailed specs are then wirelessly transmitted to a chairside 3D milling machine to fabricate your new ceramic crown while you wait!
With conventional methods of care, a dental crown can take two to three visits to fabricate and place. However, thanks to the benefits of CEREC technology, we can prepare a tooth, then design, fabricate, and place your new crown, all while you wait.
With CEREC same-day crowns, there's none of the mess of conventional dental impressions, wearing dental temporaries, or waiting for the final crown to come back from the lab. Once the prepared tooth is optically scanned and the restoration digitally designed, your new crown can be milled from the highest quality of dental ceramics that very same visit.
CEREC same-day crowns and restorations are fabricated from the highest quality of dental ceramics. Because dental porcelain reflects light in much the same way as dental enamel, your new crown will look flawless, completely natural, and blend seamlessly with your smile.
A CEREC same-day crown offers much more than a convenient approach to getting a dental crown. It is also a high quality, naturally beautiful, extremely durable, and long-lasting dental restoration! The fact is, with proper oral hygiene and routine dental care your new crown will serve your smile well for many years to come.
Digital radiography utilizes computer technology and digital sensors for the acquisition, viewing, storage, and sharing of radiographic images. It offers several advantages over the older traditional film based methods of taking x-rays. The most significant of these advantages is that digital radiography reduces a patient’s exposure to radiation. Other benefits are that images can be viewed instantly after being taken, can be seen simultaneously as needed by multiple practitioners, and can be easily shared with other offices. Digital x-rays are also safer for the environment as they do not require any chemicals or paper to develop.
An electronic pad, known as a sensor is used instead of film to acquire a digital image. After the image is taken, it goes directly into the patient’s file on the computer. Once it is stored on the computer, it can be easily viewed on a screen, shared, or printed out.
An intraoral camera is a miniaturized camera that can take high-resolution images inside of the mouth and display them for viewing in real time on a computer screen. It is a pen-sized device that provides an up close, full-color and high-resolution view of the teeth and surrounding soft tissues.
An intraoral camera is a wonderful communication tool that allows the dentist to directly show a patient a close up view of every tooth and the nearby soft tissues. With this technology any areas of concern can be instantly displayed and discussed.
The intraoral camera can also capture individual images that can be saved as part of a patient’s permanent record. These saved images can be reproduced when needed for use by other dental specialists, a dental laboratory, insurance companies, and others.
Rotary endodontics facilitates precise and efficient root canal procedures. Using flexible Nickel-titanium (NiTi) instruments powered by an electric handpiece, the curved and nuanced anatomy of the involved tooth’s inner canals can be gently cleaned and shaped in preparation for sealing them with a specialized filling material. In addition to being a faster and more consistently reliable method of care, rotary endodontics eliminates unpleasant noisy stimuli to ensure a more comfortable patient experience.
