Digital X-ray Technology
Digital radiographs capture dental images through a sensor that processes the image onto a computer screen. Digital X-rays can provide greater comfort than traditional X-rays and reduce exposure to radiation by as much as 90%.Digital x-rays are faster, safer, less expensive and better for the environment
SDigital x-rays can detect problems long before they?re visible to the naked eye. A full set of X-rays (18) is usually required for patients who are new to a dental practice, or who need extensive treatment. A sensor that is about the size and shape of a domino on the inside of your cheek. It sends signals to a computer, which are translated into large, crisp, electronic pictures of your teeth, supporting bones and gums. The pictures can be enlarged and colored for clarification. They are stored in your file for future reference

Using Lasers in Dentistry is SafeLasers used in dentistry, are engineered and designed to perform special functions without changing or damaging the surrounding tissues or materials. Dental lasers have been shown to be safe and effective for treating both children and adults. Laser technology is currently used in four areas of dental care: 1. Cavity removal can be accomplished with lasers. They have the ability to remove decay within a tooth, and prepare the surrounding enamel for bonded fillings. The need for anesthesia is greatly reduced or eliminated over the traditional methods. 2. Periodontal, or gum related care is benefiting from laser technology. Lasers are used for re-contouring or reshaping gums, removing extra or diseased gum tissue, and removing the bacteria in periodontal pockets. Healing time and post-operative discomfort can be significantly reduced over the traditional surgical methods. 3. Curing, or hardening bonding materials is an area where lasers have become important. Lasers drastically reduce the time it takes to finish a filling, and create a stronger restoration.
4. Whitening teeth can be accomplished with special solutions that are applied to the tooth surface in the dental office and activated by laser energy. Color changes of several shades is possible in a very short time. |
CAD/CAM BridgesCAD/CAM is an acronym that means computer-aided design/ computer-aided manufacturing. Today, CAD/CAM technology is used in dentistry to help dentists and dental lab technicians fabricate precise shapes and sizes for dental restorations, including inlays, onlays, crowns, and bridges. Dentists use CAD/CAM technology to provide their patients with durable, well-fitted single and multiple tooth restorations in a more efficient manner than traditional lab-fabricated restorations.Another advantage of CAD/ CAM technology is that it can allow a typical two-visit tooth restoration to be accomplished in one visit, provided that the dentist has the technology in the office.
