CEREC TECHNOLOGY: A CROWN THAT TAKES MINUTES TheAffordable, Leave Our Office Smiling!

THESE MALLS WERE MADE FOR Walking THE EXERCISE VENUE THAT WILL KEEP YOU COOL AND FIT

If you’re young at heart and looking to stay (or get) in shape this summer, consider taking a trip to the mall. No, not to pick up some hot new exercise product or dietary supplement, but to walk a few laps. Safe and convenient, “mall walking” has become one of the biggest trends in senior fitness. Cool in the Summer, Warm in the Winter This time of year, heatstroke can be a real concern when exercising outside. But that doesn’t mean you have to be a homebody. Because malls are spacious and climate-controlled, they make great year-round walking venues, especially when summer temperatures spike. You don’t even need to put on sunscreen! Rest Stops Abound While the average American shopping center isn’t as scenic as the Appalachian Trail, they are far more convenient. Replete with bathrooms, cool drinking water, and plenty of benches, the mall lets you focus on exercising and removes all of the “what ifs” that come with aging. Most malls are also outfitted with EMT kits in the event of a medical emergency. Squeeze in Some Shopping It is still a mall, after all. Why not check a few items off your shopping list or reward yourself with a new pair of sneakers? Getting things done as you exercise makes the experience that much more rewarding. Just remember not to overdo it. Carrying too many shopping bags can place undue stress on your back — and your wallet. You Won’t Be Alone Today, malls are the second-most popular places to walk in America, after neighborhoods. Mall walking has become so big that many communities and senior living centers have put together official groups to stride together. Your local mall may already open early to accommodate walkers. So if you’re looking to make friends in an active, fun-loving community, do some research. Chances are there’s a mall-walking club near you!

In the hectic world we live in today, people often find themselves rushing between work, home, and life’s other demands. Squeezing a dentist appointment into your busy schedule for a crown can seem near impossible at times, let alone two appointments to address this one problem. That’s where the services of Elite Smiles and CEREC can change that. CEREC allows the dentists at Elite Smiles to create and apply a dental crown the same day as an appointment. Traditionally, without the use of CEREC, getting a crown for your tooth takes several dentist appointments. The first appointment is usually to assess the tooth and make an impression of it. The dentists would then send you home with a temporary crown while your authentic crown is created. CEREC eliminates the time between tooth assessment and getting the crown placed.

When you walk into Elite Smiles for a crown appointment, the dentists will do the following steps using CEREC technology:

• Examine your teeth to determine the most appropriate restoration. • Develop a treatment plan. • Remove any decayed or weakened tooth tissue. • Take a digital picture of your mouth. • Convert the digital picture into a 3D model on a computer screen using state-of-the-art CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing) software. • Create a dental restoration based on the 3D model. • Mill your restoration from a block of tooth-colored material.
