A visit for preventive dentistry services twice a year minimizes potential long-term costs associated with dental repair and restoration, says Creative Smiles of Columbia, SC. 

Family dentistry much like general dentistry focuses on services related to the overall general maintenance of tooth health and oral hygiene. Though the two names are often considered synonymous, there is a difference between the two; mainly being that family dentistry will not typically have restrictive services in relation to one age group, but rather will provide services for an entire family. 

Ceramic Tooth Reconstruction – CEREC is one of modern dentistry’s most commonly used procedures for restoring a healthy smile. CEREC stands for Chair-side Economical Restoration of Esthetics Ceramics. This precision automated process for creating veneers and crowns is far more accurate, quick, and painless than any other procedure that came before it. Using 3-D images and specialized software, the technology is able to calculate the exact dimensions of each tooth to be restored. This eliminates the trial and error formerly associated with having restorative dental work.

For people who have experienced damage to their teeth, tooth crowns may be the best option for restoration. Whether the damage is due to the ageing process, previous dental work, or an accident, if the root is still intact but the surface of the tooth is damaged, a tooth crown can often provide the repair and protection needed for a healthy and pain-free mouth.
