Dr. Karson Carpenter, dentist in Livonia and Farmington, utilizes CEREC technology to improve patients' smiles in one visit.

2012-08-02

FARMINGTON HILLS, MI, August 02, 2012 (Press-News.org) Dr. Karson Carpenter, dentist in Farmington and Livonia, is happy to announce the recent addition of CEREC technology to Drakeshire Dental for improved patient care. CEREC technology is used to offer same day crowns to restore a patient's damaged tooth, or teeth.

CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. With CEREC technology, Dr. Carpenter, dentist in Livonia and Farmington, can economically restore damaged teeth in a single appointment using a high-quality ceramic material that matches the natural color of a patient's natural teeth. Using CAD/CAM technology incorporating a camera, computer and milling machine in one instrument, Dr. Carpenter uses a special camera to take an accurate picture of the damaged tooth.

"By offering this advanced technology, I hope to further help my patients improve their smiles. In just one easy visit we can help our patients restore their damaged teeth with dental crowns. I look forward to meeting with patients and further enhancing their teeth with this new technology," said Dr. Karson Carpenter, Livonia dentist.

A tooth colored restoration with CEREC same day crowns allows Dr. Carpenter to offer his patients a restored smile that does not require silver or gold fillings to discolor their smiles. CEREC crowns are natural looking, compatible with the tissue in the mouth, anti-abrasive and plaque-resistant. Impressions no longer need to be sent to a dental lab with CEREC, while patients no longer need to return for a second appointment. With CEREC crowns, patients can receive their permanent crown in one day, and one visit.

Additionally, Dr. Carpenter, dentist in Livonia, MI, has incorporated the use of lasers at Drakeshire Dental to complete dental procedures faster, easier and more comfortably. The use of lasers in dentistry allows Dr. Carpenter to perform a wide variety of dental procedures that many dentists may not have been capable of performing previously. With lasers, dentists have become adept at incorporating the state-of-the-art precision technology into a number of common and not-so-common procedures.

For more information on Dr. Karson Carpenter and the new available technology of CEREC and lasers, patients can visit Drakeshire Dental's informative website at http://www.drakeshiredental.com. Dr. Carpenter, Livonia and Farmington Hills dentist, looks forward to better serving his patients through the introduction of CEREC technology and lasers in dentistry.

Gray Area on "Possessing" vs. "Viewing" Creates Porn Ambiguity

2012-08-02

The New York Court of Appeals carved out a rather large exception when it ruled that a man could not be accused of certain child pornography charges because he did not "possess" the images - he'd viewed them online. And in early 2011, the Oregon Supreme Court similarly ruled that viewing images on a website did not equate to "possession." These cases suggest that in order to show possession of files or images, prosecutors must prove that a defendant downloaded, saved, or printed them. Images or files discovered in a defendant's browser cache will ...

Dnt Txt N Drv: Keeping Teen Drivers Safe in Florida

2012-08-02

It's no secret that texting while driving is dangerous. Distracted driving causes devastating accidents, prompting the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to recommend all states ban the use of phones in vehicles entirely. At least 35 states have already enacted prohibitions on texting while driving, but not Florida. Efforts to enact a texting ban in Florida have failed several times, most recently in 2012. Observers say the Legislature views a ban on texting as an unwanted government intrusion into a personal decision. The lack of a ban leaves drivers free ...

Sometimes it seems as if there are no downsides to bike sharing programs, which promote health and fitness, are inexpensive for riders and improve air quality. ...
