Destiny was meant for me and my fourth-grade friend, Karie. Twenty-seven years later, after completing our advanced degrees we became reacquainted through a unique series of events, and we decided to begin our life together. On-lookers jokingly said it would never work with both of us contributing two kitties to the union! Together, we have strong commitments to our family, friends, church, and adopted pets. We enjoy traveling, camping, remodeling our home, or just enjoying a good book together.
Founded and directed by James Klim DDS, the Klim Institute/CADStars is a dental postgraduate center with the purpose to develop and educate dentists and the dental team on systematic techniques to simplify chairside 3D and CAD/CAM (CEREC) dentistry though hands-on courses and online CEREC training.
With over 30years of experience in adhesive and ceramic dentistry, Dr. Klim is respected for hissound restorative clinical and adhesive techniques that will make the dental restorative CAD/CAM process predictable for success in the clinical theater.
The pits and grooves on the biting surface of teeth often serve as plaque traps and pathways for bacteria to invade the inside of a tooth. This, in turn, leads to the development of cavities. Early diagnosis and treatment arrests the spread of decay and thus prolongs the life of the tooth. Regardless of the size of the affected tooth structure, decay may be swept away with the air abrasion technique and corrected bybonded ceramics, which seal the tooth against further bacterial invasion.
An air abrasion technology that uses no drilling is used to reveal what is underneath that stained pit and fissure. Even though this cavity was at an advanced stage, it was not causing the patient any symptoms yet. With the Diagnodent, we detect and intercept the problem before it causes problems for this patient. You can see the red decay-indicating dye is used to verify diseased tooth structure. This must be removed before a restoration will bond successfully to the tooth.
Here the teeth are cleansed of disease and are ready for bonding. With todays technology, teeth can be bonded back together with strengths that are nearly equal to natural tooth strength. Because the new materials bond to teeth more thoroughly than dentistry of the past, it is possible to preserve more tooth structure while we are preparing the tooth for its corrected state. It used to be that, due to the nature of amalgam fillings and metal-based crowns, more drilling and filing was required to ensure that the cement had enough surface area to maintain its grip for a predictable period of time.
Only Your Dentist Knows for Sure! The restored teeth! Who would know that you were not born with these beautiful cusps? Im sure you agree, the teeth appear very natural. Yet, beyond the natural look, you will have reclaimed a tooth at risk, recaptured tooth strength, and sealed your tooth from further bacterial invasion. Now, that is something to be happy about.
