The Latest in Same-Day Crown Technology
At Lowcountry Family Dentistry, we are excited to introduce our patients to Primescan. As many of you know, Dr. Covington and Dr. DuRant enjoy technological advances in dentistry. Before Dr. Covington joined the practice in December of 2016, Dr. DuRant had been using same-day crown fabrication for over many years (BlueCam). When the newest upgrade (Primescan) became available, our office was one of the first in South Caroline to place an order. Now patients can have an amazing new crown placed in an appointment of less than two hours!!! We have just been wowed by the quality of the crowns and we think you will too. The material of the crowns is the same so structurally they are just as good as the ones we have been placing for years. …

Strict infection control helps to stop the spread of disease. Improved infection control procedures call for most of the instruments and supplies that your dentist uses to be either heat-sterilized or disposable. Do all dentists practice infection control? The Occupational Safety and Health Administration Bloodborne Pathogens Standard requires that all employees who may come in contact with blood must be trained about proper infection control procedures. The dental board in your state also may have additional rules that your dentist must …
