Proven Technologies Support Dental Treatments
CBCT 3D Scanner: Our Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) 3D scanner creates clear, detailed three-dimensional images of your teeth, bones, and soft tissues. It is especially beneficial when planning procedures like dental implants, root canals, and braces and can offer an in-depth look into what’s happening with your oral health.
Drill-Less Air Abrasion Treatment: This less-invasive method removes decay using a spray of compressed air in a fine stream that gradually removes stains and decays underneath the surface of your teeth. Because drilling is not required, many patients find this service to be game-changing!
Digital X-ray: This technology allows our patients to view clear images of their teeth while simultaneously ensuring they’re exposed to 90% less radiation. It’s used to diagnose a myriad of dental problems, from cavities to bone loss.
Intraoral Camera: This camera is a small device that allows our team to capture detailed pictures of the inside of your mouth. These images can then be viewed live on a nearby screen, offering in-depth insights into your oral health condition while also helping our team prepare an incredibly precise treatment plan.
Laser Dentistry: We use hard and soft tissue laser dentistry to support gum disease treatment, cavity removal, and teeth whitening. This technology not only speeds treatment time in many cases but also helps mitigate pain and downtime post-procedure.
Sedation Dentistry: We provide nitrous, oral, and IV sedation to help our patients feel calm and relaxed during their visits. Sedation dentistry helps ensure that every patient can access the dental care they need in a laid-back, stress-free setting.
How Can Dental Technology Support Patient Comfort?
Boosted Diagnostics and Treatment Scheming: Technologies such as CBCT 3D scanners and digital X-rays allow our dentist to access detailed images of smiles. This helps ensure that precise diagnoses and effective treatment plans can be created.
Gentle Solutions: Services like drill-less air abrasion treatment and laser dentistry are minimally invasive and designed to prevent discomfort during and after procedures. Coupled with soothing sedation alternatives, dental checkups are transformed into pleasant experiences!
Reduced Treatment Time: Dental technology is curated to speed up dental procedures which can equal less time in the examination room.
Patient Empowerment and Education: CBCT scanners, digital X-rays, and intraoral cameras let patients visualize their dental issues up close, encouraging understanding and engagement throughout their treatment planning.
