Latest in Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry

At Wilmington Family Dental in Kettering, Ohio, we’ve built our reputation on the simple philosophy that high-quality family dental means more than just clinical excellence. It also includes a genuine commitment to compassionate care, personalized attention, and the latest technology and advancements. 

As technology evolves, so do the ways we can restore, enhance, and protect your smile, with comfort, efficiency, and excellence at the forefront.  Whether you’re seeking cosmetic upgrades, restorative care, or innovative implant solutions, read on for a roundup of eight ways the Wilmington Family Dental team is embracing cutting-edge dental technology to bring you a better start-to-finish experience. 

1. Same-Day Crowns with PlanScan E4D Technology

Gone are the days of messy impressions and weeks of waiting. With our in-office CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Manufacturing) system, PlanScan E4D, we can scan, design, mill, and place ceramic restorations like crowns, veneers, and fillings in a single visit.

A compact digital scanner captures high-resolution 3D images of your tooth, which we use to craft a custom-fit restoration that blends perfectly with your smile. It’s precise, fast, and eliminates the need for temporary crowns or follow-up appointments.

2. Stabili-Teeth™: A Practical, Full-Arch Solution

For patients with failing or missing teeth, the Stabili-Teeth™ protocol offers a same-day solution that delivers the reliability of dental implants at a fraction of the typical cost. By combining narrow diameter implants with conventional ones,  this procedure securely supports a full set of teeth.  Patients leave their appointments with stable, functional new smiles from day one.

Thanks to a streamlined process requiring fewer resources than traditional full-arch implant procedures, Stabili-Teeth™ improves access to long-term tooth replacement with no compromise of comfort or durability. 

3. Tooth-Colored Fillings

If you’ve ever had a silver filling, you’ll appreciate the upgrade that composite fillings offer. These natural-looking restorations match your tooth color and allow for more conservative treatment—preserving more of your healthy tooth while also protecting it from future damage.

The benefits of tooth-colored fillings go beyond aesthetics. Unlike metal fillings, composite fillings don’t expand or contract with temperature changes, reducing the risk of cracks or discomfort over time. They’re also mercury-free and made from biocompatible materials designed to support your overall oral health.

4. SimplyClear™ Aligners

Looking for a straighter smile without the hassle of braces? Our clear aligner option, SimplyClear™, is nearly invisible and fully removable—making it easy to eat, brush, and floss as usual.

Custom-designed for each patient’s individual teeth, clear aligners gradually move smiles into alignment with no need for wires, brackets, or constant dental visit adjustments. The result? A transformed smile with unprecedented comfort, discretion, and confidence. 

5. All-on-X Smile Restoration

Ready to say goodbye to dentures or multiple failing teeth? If so, an All-on-X smile restoration with Dr. S. Zak Hallock and his team might be your perfect solution. Often without the need for bone-grafting, this advanced technique uses four to six implants to anchor an entire arch of permanent replacement teeth. 

Not only will you enjoy a new smile that looks, feels, and functions like your natural teeth without the need for daily removal or adhesives, but many patients can even have their implants and prosthetics placed in the same visit. Immediate chewing and speaking ability, long-lasting results, and a natural appearance are just a few of the advantages you’ll enjoy with this technique. 

6. Low-Radiation Digital X-Rays and Cone Beam 3D Imaging

Because your family’s safety matters to us, we use digital X-rays, which use significantly less radiation than conventional X-rays while providing crisp, instant images.

We also offer Cone Beam 3D Imaging to gain detailed, 360-degree views of your teeth, jawbone, nerves, and other structures. A powerful tool for procedures like implants, root canals, and orthodontic planning, this  advanced imaging helps us deliver the safest, most precise care possible.

7. Intraoral Scanners for Comfortable Impressions

Creating quick, comfortable, and accurate digital 3D models of your teeth, our intraoral scanners streamline everything from orthodontics to restorative treatments.  No more dreaded messy molds or trays to trigger your gag reflex—just an exact fit the first time.
