CEREC - Crown in a Day!We
use the latest advanced technology at Global Dental Centre. CEREC is revolutionary to dentistry because it
creates a beautiful, esthetic, strong and durable
ceramic restoration that is precisely
bonded to the tooth. It is accomplished using a digital scan of the
prepared tooth and creating the restoration's design using powerful 3D software
that allows the dentist to customize the result. The design is wirelessly
transmitted to a special milling device that will create your restoration using
a dental ceramic.
Because this is done in one visit
you do not need to have a bulky, messy impression made of your tooth,
you do n
ot
need to wear a temporary crown or come back on a separate visit to have your new crown placed. It is all done in one
convenient visit that lasts a little over an hour! With this technology you
can have multiple teeth treated at once to save you time!
Vizilite - Oral Cancer Screening
Dr Fu and his team at Global Dental Centre understand the
importance of detecting oral cancer early. If caught early enough, this form of
cancer is one of the most curable.
An annual ViziLite Plus exam, in combination with a
regular visual examination, provides a comprehensive oral screening procedure
for patients at increased risk for oral cancer. The ViziLite Plus exam is
painless and fast, and could help save your life.
ViziLite Plus uses technology that has proven successful
in identifying soft tissue abnormalities in other areas of the body.

Intraoral Cameras
Our Doctors know that a picture is worth a
thousand words - especially in dentistry! We use small cameras
right inside your mouth to take highly magnified digital photos of your teeth.
These photos can be displayed on a computer screen for both patient and doctor,
and are invaluable in diagnosing and recording dental problems. Intra-oral
photos also enables patients to view what the dentist sees when their teeth are
being evaluated by the dentist.
Laser Cavity Detector (Diagnodent)
Locating hidden decay before it destroys tooth structure (from the inside out)
is a major goal. Finding cavities beneath the hard surfaces is challenging
because the disease process can start through microscopic defects in the hard
surface can spread into the softer tooth structure beneath the surface.
Recently FDA approved, this amazing laser cavity finder instantly and accurately
finds cavities in areas x-rays rarely see and the dental pick misses 76% of the
time.
Diagnodent is a major breakthrough that allows us to monitor the areas below the
hard surfaces. We can now locate hidden decay, and with treatment stop the
spread of the disease before it destroys the tooth from within.
