COSMETIC DENTISTRY
Every body wants an attractive smile in most cases we can offer our patients a naturally appearing restorative material that is appropriate for their needs. But cosmetic dentistry is more than just materials; it involves expertise, careful evaluation, and listening to what your vision for an attractive smile is. Dr. Poticny is highly trained and well versed in all phases of the myriad of options available. He has been recognized as one of
WHITENING
If you've seen "Extreme Makeover" on television you will be pleased to know we offer the same ZOOM 3 whitening enabling patients to go home with substantially whiter teeth with an hour of in office treatment with little or no sensitivity.
VENEERS
Perhaps no other treatment offers the potential to offer patients whiter, straight, and perfectly shaped teeth with little or no drilling than porcelain veneers. The are long term solutions to misshapen, discolored, or crooked teeth. Dr. Poticny has extensive experience in this area having performed this valuable treatment since 1985.
CROWNS AND PARTIAL CROWNS IN ONE VISIT
Well if you have heard of CEREC and single visit crowns made of naturally appearing porcelain you have come to the right dentist. Dr. Poticny is recognized as one of the world's leading authorities and leading clinicians in this field. He has personally trained thousands of dentists world wide on this technique in addition to publishing numerous articles and papers on this topic. CEREC affords you the opportunity have most metal restorations, old or broken crowns, or decayed teeth replaced or repaired without any impressions and in less than ninety minutes start to finish. Using digital imaging, computer-aided design, and compact milling machines we can deliver crowns and partial crowns that are durable, undetectable, and in many cases more conservative than any treatment option available today.
SEALANTS
This is a valuable service to children and even adults. By applying a thin layer of plastic resin to the top surfaces of teeth, we can protect children especially from tooth decay where it usually begins on the teeth. The cost is low relative to the benefit as they are one fourth the cost of the smallest filling and provide years of protection.
OTHER TECHNOLOGIES
As mentioned above you will find nearly every piece of advanced technology with the training and know how to use it in our office. We routinely use:
-Digital X-Rays which offer instant images at lowest possible radiation doses
-Air Abrasion which eliminates drills and is suitable for small cavities, particularly children
-Lasers which are precise and do very little tissue damage with minimal discomfort afterwards
-Intra Oral Cameras to help you “see what we see” greatly aiding diagnostics and communication
-Patient education videos to help you clearly understand treatment and dental problems and conditions
