This has to be one of the most exciting technologies in dentistry. CEREC is a CAD/CAM system dentists use to fabricate porcelain crowns and dental bridges in one visit. This means just one trip to the dentist and only one time getting numb. The quality of the restoration meets or exceeds that of a dental lab.

Less pain and faster healing after dental surgery using your own blood. A bit of blood is drawn and placed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate its healing growth factors. This growth factor concentrate is then incorporated into the surgical site to speed healing, reduce pain and prevent dental infections.

Using CAD/CAM Dental Crown Modeling technology, perfectly-fitted dental crowns have never been more efficient and effective. At Sarasota Dentistry, Dr. Michael is an expert in the CEREC one-visit dental crown system. This CAD/CAM Dental Modeling method allows your dentist, Dr. Michael, to model and form a dental crown that fits perfectly with your smile. Thanks to CEREC, gone are the days or weeks spent waiting for your dental crown to be ready. CEREC stands for Chair-side Economic Restorations of Esthetic Ceramics. The dental crowns made using this method are milled (usually in less than 30 minutes) using CAD/CAM technology. During the modeling and milling process, youll be able to wait comfortably in our dental office our staff will happily attend to your needs. Once the crown is milled, it is finished and polished before being fitted using a natural-looking resin that is completely free of metal. Restore broken or chipped teeth with a CEREC One-Visit Dental Crown from Sarasota Dentistry. CEREC technology also allows Dr. Michael to fabricate custom dental implant abutments. Once Dr. Michael places the dental implant, he scans it with the CERECimaging wand and is able to custom fabricate a dental implant abutment with CEREC. This is an important part of developing healthy gum tissue around the dental implant and creating a foundation for the dental implant crown which is also fabricated at the same time using CEREC.

Sarasota Dentistry helps speed up your healing process using the natural healing ability of your own platelets. Platelet-Rich Growth Factors (PRGFs) are a byproduct of your blood that is rich in platelets. Platelets are cells that perform several of the bodys essential functions, primarily blood clot formation and tissue repair. This makes platelet-rich plasma an incredibly effective treatment for improving the healing process. Dr. Michael is an expert in the collection and application of PRGFs to quicken healing from your next dental treatment. PRGFs are valuable for a variety of reasons. They decrease infection risk, accelerate healing, and are safe and convenient. The amount of your blood needed to create your personal PRGFs is minimal, and disease transmission is not an issue, as the blood is collected from you during a routine outpatient procedure. Dr. Michael will determine if you are a candidate for PRGFs during dental treatment. If you have a blood clotting disorder, this treatment wont be effective for you. Learn how PRGFs can enhance your dental treatment during your visit with Dr. Michael.

If you want beautiful pearly white teeth and you're ready to move beyond the minimal amount of whitening provided by whitening toothpastes and over-the-counter strips, it's time to step it up to professional teeth whiteners. But when you head to your dental office, you have some important decisions to make.

A dental implant via a bone graft is one of the most common solutions for filling a space caused by a missing tooth. However, one small issue can come up that can put a wrinkle in the whole procedure: whether or not you have enough bone. Many dental surgeons recommend

Dr. Hank Michael's office is exceptional! He has invested in all the most up to date technology. My visit felt more like a Spa treatment. The entire team is extremely friendly and very skilled. There isn't any out of date techniques and technology at this practice. Dr. Michael is down to earth and really cares about his patients. He took his time with me to develop a careful plan for items I can address in the future. He also introduced me to a new inexpensive tool I hadn't used before which should help with my gum health! His chair side manner was the best I've seen in a very long time. Just exceptional. I highly recommend Dr. Michael.

Fantastic experience and practice! I felt welcomed and in great hands from the minute I walked in the door. The 1 1/2 hour drive from Ft Myers was well worth the trip! Dr Michael and his entire staff was very friendly, professional and thorough. He discovered some things my local dental practice had overlooked, took the time to explain a generous amount of details pertaining to my dental situation/needs, and offered some great tips. Very insightful, state-of-the-art facility--top notch all the way around. Highly recommend!

Five Star Plus....New to this area seeking a dentist who met my standards. Was referred to Dr Michaels by my new neighbors. I goggled him for additional info, then called the office with additional questions. They were very knowledgeable, professional while still being friendly. Scheduled my intro/eval appointment, met staff and Dr Hank. Great experience, great Dentist & staff. Very pleased with diagnosis and care. Just completed my 2nd visit for perio scale/root deep cleaning. Chrissy, my hygienist, was excellent. She answered all of my questions prior to visit & educated me every step during procedure. It was a piece of cake. The best choice for dental care I have ever made. In addition, Dr Hank can do crowns while you wait with the most up to date equipment. Office is beautifully designed. Highly recommend.
