Full Cast Crowns

	Our full cast crowns are truly pieces of jewelry you will be proud to deliver and see yearfullcastimage after year. We focus on anatomy and build fit, form and function into every crown.

Porcelain Fused to Metal Crowns

	Ceramco 3® is our primary porcelain of choice. The granular structure lends itself to excellent wear characteristics. Our ceramists achieve amazing shade nuances and control.We like the Vita 3D Master Shade Guide and Ceramco 3 allows us to pull the maximum benefit from the 3D Master Shade Guide System, Dr. Christensen’s shade guide of choice.
	If you would like to schedule a Lunch & Learn that includes a Dr. Christensen’s DVD presentation, please call Ted Coates. Call the lab to order your shade guide.

Captek® Crowns and Bridges

	Nano Technology enables us to make Captek alloy denser and stronger and thus suitable for beautiful bridge work. Our Captek copings are made at Somer and use Ceramco 3 porcelain.Captek copings will look lovely and natural and will never have a black line to disfigure the patient. Crowns and bridges fit beautifully and reduce plaque and bacteria – even when compared to natural dentition.

Metal Free Restorations

	Our Procera crowns, which we call Nobel Z, are made with cementable Zirconia; we use our own Nobel Biocare Forte Scanner that guarantees accurate fits and closed margins. Somer’s color modification techniques and Nobel’s color infiltrated cores allow us to promise no unsightly brightness or headlight effect.

IPS Empress®, e.max® & e.max CAD®

Nothing equals the vitality, translucency and idealized esthetic we achieve with a leucite reinforced glass ceramic material.e.max® is a lithium discilicate material and is ideal for esthetic cases when bonding is unnecessary or contraindicated. Crowns and bridges, veneers, inlays and onlays are lovely, vital and esthetic.

Removable Prosthetics

Removable Prosthetics

Splints

Bruxeze® soft night guards protect porcelain and excessive tooth wear. At body temperature, the appliance is slightly pliant, slightly giving and very comfortable.Remedeze is a hard/soft splint. Anything touching soft tissue is fabricated from Bruxeze material and is very comfortable. The occlusal surface on Remedeze is hardened for a more severe bruxer. Hard Acrylic Bruxism Splints are ideal for opening bites and when teeth and porcelain restorations need to be protected from excessive grinding forces.

Partial Dentures

	Somer partial dentures are made in house. They are beautifully designed and finished to the highest jewelry like luster with nickel free chrome cobalt. They will fit your patient comfortably and provide superior function.

Valplast® Flexible Partial Dentures

	Valplast flexible partial dentures are ideal for the patient who values comfort and esthetics. Using the Retento-Grip tissue bearing retention system, Valplast requires no tooth or tissue preparation.The patented monomer free hypo-allergenic nylon based material is tissue colored (in a variety of shades) and thus invisible in the mouth.

Hybrid Partial Dentures – Chrome Cobalt and Valplast®

	We are able to add Valplast services to chrome cobalt partial frames. This combination gives strength for the most severe reciprocating forces of mastication or complex partial design while building in the comfort and esthetics of Valplast.

Complete Dentures

	The Somer Denture uses Dentsply’s Lucitone 199. We will give your patients the most comfortable, esthetically pleasing appliance available. Acrylic characterization, natural anatomy and Portrait teeth make this a cosmetic denture.
	The Somer Economy Denture uses Dentsply’s Lucitone 199 and Classic Teeth. This economy denture will fit beautifully, but will use a less costly tooth with fewer shade selections. Your value conscious patient will be very well pleased.

The Celera® Denture System

	Celera Denture Technique allows you to replace old, worn dentures and guarantee the same comfort, feeling and security to your patient. Don’t let your patients throw good money into an inadequate denture. The Celera system should be a profit center for your practice and loved by your patients. Call Ted to schedule a demonstration.
