Dr. Wilcox attended a three day convention and seminar session in Las Vegas last weekend presented by the Sirona Corporation. They are the company responsible for the one visit crown CAD-CAM technology we use in the office. There are many new advances in the Cerec technology which will allow us to expand its use in the coming year. The changes are primarily in the improved appearance of the new milling materials to allow us to do more cosmetic restorations is one visit in the near future. Also the software is being upgraded considerable to allow even more accuracy in the fit and speed of milling. As we strive to provide the finest in Phoenix cosmetic dentistry Cerec will prove to be a valuable technology for our patients as we move forward in our pursuit of excellence.

Dr. Wilcox attended a two day seminar this past weekend in Kansas City sponsored by the DOCS organization.  It was an update on the latest in sedation techniques especially in dealing with patients with significant medical conditions.  There was considerable time spent reviewing the latest in drug interactions that must be evaluated prior to sedation dentistry.  The most current thinking in antibiotic premedication and antibiotic therapy for dental infections was also presented.

This is just another example of the several hundred hours a years we spend keeping current with not only the latest in cosmetic dentistry but all aspects of patient comfort and safety.
