Big news from Community Health Connections!
Leominster CHC Dental Lab site just added a new CEREC milling unit! www.chcfhc.org/dental Community Health Connections continues to invest in advanced dental technology, and we're excited to share that our Leominster dental lab now has a CEREC milling unit, as does our Fitchburg lab. Having a milling unit at both of our labs helps us expand our ability to provide faster, more convenient restorative care for our patients. You may have seen our post a few months ago about our investment in CEREC technology. All CHC dental locations are equipped with digital scanners, allowing our dental teams to capture highly accurate digital impressions, without the need for traditional molds. Those scans are securely transmitted to our in-house dental laboratories (Fitchburg & Leominster) where custom crowns are designed and fabricated. Both our Leominster and Fitchburg dental labs now mill custom ceramic crowns on site.
This reduces turnaround times and, in some cases, allows patients to receive a crown on the very same day!
“Community Health Connections is committed to bringing innovative technology and high-quality pediatric and adult dental care directly to the communities and patients we serve. I am proud to care for patients at CHC, and I’d like to thank our operations team, dental staff and employees, who have worked to make this vision a reality!” - Dr. Tina Gupta, Leominster Dental Director, Leominster Community Health & Urgent Care Center.
