Just Another Way We Improve Our Service
Dr. Kokonas is pleased to offer the service of custom shading to you. We want to offer you the highest quality of dentistry, and this is one way we do that.
Teeth have a variety of shapes and colors. In one person's mouth, there can be a variety of shade....even on one tooth. When we fabricate crown, veneer, or bridge for you, we choose the predominant shade of your tooth. Then we take digital photos to send to the lab. Sometimes even though we do this, the colour isn't 100%.
With custom shading, we bring the lab to you. Rudy, a registered lab technician comes to our office ensures the fit and colour of your restoration. We can then adjust the restoration according to need and to your preferences. Rudy then bakes and seals the crown so it can be inserted the same day, requiring no additional visits for you.


With spring and summer just around the corner, flowers will be blooming, and so will Dentistry in Bolton. We, at Dentistry In Bolton, are undergoing some exciting spring changes. To kick off spring, we are offering an in office draw for our patients for a Sonicare Flexcare power toothbrush. At your next appointment, please fill out a ballot in our reception area.

The image of the digital radiograph is projected in a matter of seconds onto a computer monitor for immediate dicussion, assesment, education and treatment planning. There is no longer any wasted time on processing, retakes and mounting. Thus, our team spends less time in the dark room and more time with you discusasing the health of your teeth.

Cerec
Using a camera, a computer and a milling machine. Dr. Kokonas, is preparing and placing natural looking ceramic filling for patients in a single office visit.

The new dental components belong to a CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design/ Computer Aided Manufacturing) instruments allows dentists to repair a damaged tooth in one visit using tooth-colored restorations or "fillings." Dentists no longer need to take impressions or create temporaries for some cases and unlike the old procedure where patients made a second visit to insert the restoration, this procedure is done in one visit.
The cerec system enables, Dr. Kokonas to satisfy patients seeking a long lasting esthetic alternative to silver or plastic fillings Veneers and partial to full crowns and all other single tooth restorations can be created by cerec.
To make the restoration, Dr. Kokonas first paints a reflective powder over the prepared tooth. Using a special camera, she takes an accurate picture of the tooth. This optical impression is transferred and displayed on a color computer screen, where CAD technology is used to design the restoration. Then CAM takes over and automatically creates the restoration while the patient waits. Finally, the new restoration is bonded to the surface of the old tooth.
Some Benefits of Cerec:
A single-appointment restoration-only one visit needed
An efficient appointment-less time spent in the dental chair
A natural-looking filling-no more silver metal-mouth
A healthier, metal free filling
No messy impressions or ill-fitting temporaries
A restoration that matches the natural color of your teeth
A resoration that is anti-abrasive, bio compatible and resistant to plaque
A durable restoration-Cerec fillings don't leak or break like traditional fillings
Proven technology-ten years of clinical research and over four million restorations performed worldwide
Cerec has over a decade of clinical research and documentation to support the technology. The restorations have been proven precise, safe and effective.
