State-of-the-Art Antiseptic Procedures
Our sterilization procedures meet the Centers for Disease Control guidelines. We heat-sterilize all hand pieces and instruments after each use. We only use ADA approved disinfectants. We use gloves, gowns, masks, eye protection and barrier covers at all times.
Cerec™
The Cerec 3 camera takes a 3-dimensional image of the dental preparation and then designs and creates the milled inlay, overlay or crown via computer within one visit. The Cerec 3 system's milling process can produce a durable, aesthetically pleasing, biocompatible ceramic restoration milled from a ceramic block to suit your particular needs quickly and economically.
Invisalign™
Invisalign is the revolutionary way to help you get even, straight teeth without noticeable, painful metal braces. Virtually undetectable, Invisalign aligners are made of strong, clear plastic that gradually guide your teeth into perfect alignment. Unlike metal braces, they have no wires or brackets. Tooth impressions are made, from which Invisalign develops customized aligners that will slide directly over your teeth. Aligners are typically worn full time (except when eating or drinking) for 12 to 48 months—no longer than you would wear traditional metal braces. Aligners are replaced every two weeks as your teeth shift into place.
Digital X-Rays
We offer in-office digital x-rays for your convenience.
Digital x-rays are computer-generated images. These images require up to 90%
less radiation than with conventional film type x-rays. Instead of using the
traditional silver-oxide x-ray film that must be developed and then fixed in
caustic and environmentally damaging solutions, the new system takes pictures
via a small electronic sensor and instantaneously transmits a picture of
the tooth onto the video monitor in the treatment room. Therefore, we can see
your teeth and surrounding structures immediately. Feel free to contact us for
more details, or to make an appointment!
Intraoral Cameras
Ever been curious about what goes on during your dental care visits? Well now, with our intraoral cameras, you don´t have to be curious anymore! An intraoral camera is an indispensable diagnostic and educational tool. The tiny device is a video camera that moves around inside the mouth and generates a tooth-by-tooth video exam of the teeth. With the images produced by the intraoral camera, patients can see each of their teeth and dentists can indicate problems such as broken teeth, plaque, decay, gum disease, defective fillings, and so on. Using an intraoral camera allows patients to better understand their dental needs by seeing what the dentist sees and then having it explained.
"I went to Bancroft Dental Care on an emergency appointment and met Dr. Mike Chang. He greeted me with a big smile and listened to my dental problem. Upon checking it out, he was very gentle and thorough. He explained what had to be done and in doing so my comfort came first. Today, Dr. Chang is my permanent dentist."
-Lucille E. Royer, San Lorenzo
