Same-Day CEREC Crowns
Traditional crowns require two appointments, a temporary crown, and a wait of several weeks while a lab fabricates your restoration. At Northwest Dental Studio, we mill your permanent crown in-office the same day.
What that means for you:
- No temporary crown to manage between appointments
- No second visit to have it placed
- No waiting weeks for a result
Dr. Chitkara designs, mills, and places your crown in a single appointment. The result is a permanent, precisely fitted restoration without the back-and-forth.
CBCT Cone Beam 3D Imaging
Standard dental X-rays show your teeth in two dimensions. CBCT cone beam imaging produces a full three-dimensional view of your teeth, bone, nerves, and surrounding anatomy, giving Dr. Chitkara a precise picture of what he's working with before treatment begins.
What that means for you:
- More accurate treatment planning, particularly for implants and complex cases
- Less guesswork, fewer surprises mid-procedure
- A clearer conversation about what Dr. Chitkara is seeing and why he's recommending what he is
For implant placement, especially, this level of detail matters. Knowing exactly where nerves and bone are before a single incision is made is the difference between a procedure that goes as planned and one that doesn't.
Intraoral Cameras
An intraoral camera is a small, handheld device that captures detailed images inside your mouth and displays them on a screen in front of you in real time, as your exam is happening.
What that means for you:
- Every finding can be shown, not just described
- You're making decisions based on what's actually there, not a verbal summary
- No more nodding at an X-ray you can't read
When Dr. Chitkara explains what he's seeing, you'll be able to see it too. That makes for a more informed conversation and a treatment plan you actually understand before you agree to it.
Digital Impressions
Traditional dental impressions involve trays filled with a thick material pressed into your mouth and held there while it sets. Digital impressions replace that entirely with a small handheld scanner that creates an accurate, detailed model of your teeth in minutes.
What that means for you:
- A faster, more comfortable process
- No unpleasant material, no gag reflex trigger
- Highly accurate results that feed directly into your treatment planning
Digital impressions are used across a range of treatments — from crowns and veneers to Invisalign and implant planning — anywhere a precise model of your teeth is needed.
Paperless Intake
Before your first appointment, your intake forms are sent directly to your phone or email. Complete everything from home, at your own pace, before you arrive.
What that means for you:
- No clipboard in the waiting room
- Check-in takes seconds when you walk in
- More time settled in before your appointment begins
It's a small detail that makes the start of every visit feel easier, and it means your first moments at Northwest Dental Studio are spent getting comfortable, not filling out paperwork.
