Bringing Modern Dental Care to Sanborn
At Sanborn Dental Associates, we combine compassionate care with the latest dental instruments to offer you efficient, comfortable, and precise treatment. Our advanced technology helps us diagnose conditions earlier, create better restorations, and make your visits as smooth as possible.
Digital Imaging & 3D Scanning
We utilize state-of-the-art digital scanners that capture detailed, three-dimensional models of your teeth and gums without the discomfort of traditional molds. These scanners let us:
- Visualize your oral anatomy in real time
- Plan treatments more precisely
- Reduce remakes and adjustments
- Improve the fit of crowns, bridges, and orthodontic appliances
This technology supports many of our restorative and cosmetic services, and enhances patient understanding during consultations.
CEREC®️ Same-Day Crowns
One of the standout tools in our practice is CEREC technology. With CEREC, our cosmetic dentist can design, mill, and place a high-quality ceramic crown—all in a single appointment. This means you won’t have to wait with a temporary crown or come back for multiple visits.
- We scan the prepared tooth with our digital scanner.
- Using software, we design your crown to match your bite and natural teeth.
- A milling machine develops the crown from a ceramic block right in our office.
- We try it in, make adjustments, and bond it securely—all in one visit.
Benefits include:
- No need for a temporary crown
- Strong, natural-looking ceramics
- Fewer appointments
- Reduced hassle and better efficiency for you
Other High-Tech Tools We Use
To give you the best care, we integrate additional advanced instruments such as:
- Intraoral cameras — let you see what we see during examinations
- Digital X-rays (including low-radiation options) — clearer images with less exposure
- Computerized treatment planning systems — for precision in implants, full-mouth rehab, and more
These systems help us detect and treat issues earlier, improve outcomes, and keep your comfort in mind.
Your Experience Matters
We design each patient’s visit using these technologies so you’ll:
- Spend less time in the chair
- Avoid discomfort and guesswork
- Understand your diagnosis and treatment plan clearly
- Leave with high-quality restorations that fit well
Whether you’re coming in for a routine exam or a complex restorative case, you’ll benefit from our modern equipment and commitment to excellence.
