Galileos Sirona 3D brings you the latest breathtaking technology for guided in-house implantology in one treatment session.
The matching of CEREC this 3D X-ray enables dentists to offer highly precise implant planning, surgical guide production and final prosthetic manufacturing – in-house and in one visit.
Dean Cosmetic Dentistry is one of only a few practices in the Knoxville area to have this amazing 3D imaging system – Galileos Sirona 3D.
Galileos Sirona 3D does not only capture the entire jaw, including the jaw joints, but also all important anatomical structures of the craniofacial region. Using just the lowest necessary dose, Galileos Sirona 3D creates a detailed representation based on the newly developed metal artifact reconstruction software MARS.
CEREC uses CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing) technology, incorporating a camera, computer and milling machine in one instrument. The dentist uses a special camera to take an accurate picture of the damaged tooth. This optical impression is transferred and displayed on a color computer screen, where the dentist uses CAD technology to design the restoration. Then CAM takes over and automatically creates the restoration while the patient waits. Finally, the dentist bonds the new restoration to the surface of the old tooth. The whole process takes about one hour.
A tooth-colored restoration means no more silver fillings discoloring smiles. The filling is natural-looking, compatible with tissue in the mouth, anti-abrasive and plaque-resistant. Dentists no longer need to create temporaries or take impressions and send them to a lab. Because of this, the traditional second visit has been eliminated. CEREC has two decades of clinical research and documentation to support the technology. The restorations have been proven precise, safe and effective.
How can I find out if this is an option for me?

CEREC Primescan uses a wand-like device, loaded with powerful imaging sensors which can capture more than 50,000 images of your mouth per second. These images are quickly stitched and compiled into a 3D image of your teeth, jaw, gums and mouth, and displayed on a high-definition screen for immediate assessment by our doctors.
Using this sensor, our doctors can image your entire mouth up to 20mm in depth, including gums, blood, and bone structures, quickly and accurately. The Primescan software (as compared to the Omnicam) creates high-resolution 3D models to assess your oral health and create the very best crowns, implants, removable prosthesis, restorations, and even 3D prints. With just a few quick sweeps of the CEREC Primescan device, we’ll be able to generate an in-depth, modifiable 3D image of your mouth in minutes.
So, why is CEREC Primescan such a big deal? Here are just a few improvements of this sophisticated system:
