Encinitas dentist Dr. Kent Lau DDS provides general and restorative care at Encinitas Smiles Dentistry on Santa Fe Drive, near Encinitas Community Park. The office's in-house CEREC CAD/CAM system mills porcelain crowns in a single visit, eliminating temporary restorations — a same-day digital workflow complementing the phased alignment timelines at Beam Orthodontics for patients needing both structural and positional correction. Digital radiography and 3D printing support diagnostic workflows for crown preparation, fractured-tooth assessment, and periodontal pocket measurement at every hygiene interval. TMJ-related bite dysfunction identified during exams can escalate to manual therapy referrals, a pathway also served by Gaspar Doctors of Physical Therapy for cranio-mandibular rehabilitation. Full-arch restorations involve digital scan-based crown-and-bridge fabrication using IPS e.max lithium-disilicate pressable ceramic for posterior load-bearing positions.
