Cerec

This is the only system for creating all-ceramic dental restorations in one office visit. You will be in and out in a single visit with a permanent, all ceramic crown, onlay, or veneer. With CEREC, you will have fewer injections, less drilling, and less time taken from your schedule for dentistry.
Most dental restorative methods require more than one visit to the dentist. On the first visit, patients typically receive an injection of anesthesia, a tooth prepared, an impression taken, and a temporary restoration put on the tooth. The second appointment is generally made for a couple of weeks later. At that time, the patient would get another injection, have the temporary removed, and have a permanent restoration placed. With CEREC, the procedure is accomplished in a single appointment. It is fast, accurate, and painless.

Intraoral Camera

With an intraoral camera, we can magnify your mouth and show you exactly what we’re talking about on a computer screen. This allows you to see for yourself the crack, the stain, the gap, and the receding gum line. You needn’t take only our word for it anymore.

Chairside Computers

Our patients have realized many benefits since we computerized and networked our treatment rooms. All intraoral and extraoral photography, patient records, written communication, and clinical information can be shared between the doctor and treatment areas instantly.

Diagnodent

The Diagnodent is a powerful new laser used for early detection and diagnosis of tooth decay. The Diagnodent also helps locate decay that may be hidden in the cracks and crevices of teeth. Early detection means less damage, pain, and hassle for you down the road. Please contact our practice today to learn more about the Diagnodent.

Magnification

By using dental magnification Dr. Schmanski is able to see more clearly certain aspects of the tooth structure, existing restoration and current restoration treatments he is performing. This allows him to provide a higher level of quality treatments to his patients. At Yorkshire Dental Clinic we use through-the-lens telescopes. Dr. Schmanski has used magnification since 1992. In addition to the powerful magnifying lenses, Dr. Schmanski’s loupes also include a small halogen headlight that removes shadows that might be produced by ordinary dental lighting.
