Intra-Oral Camera
Intra-oral imaging gives you a detailed view of your mouth in pictures and videos. Putting specific problem areas onto a computer screen lets us see with clarity and detail that’s not possible with a traditional mouth mirror. Hand-held wands quickly capture the details of your teeth and gums. In fact, even small cracks that often lead to broken teeth appear vividly with the click of a button. We can explain the need for treatment more clearly by showing you what we see in great detail.
As an added benefit, dental insurance benefits often pay more quickly with the visual proof of a digital image.
Digital X-Ray
As opposed to traditional film x-rays, digital sensors capture detailed x-ray images with a fraction of the radiation exposure. The images appear instantly on a computer screen, allowing for easy viewing and diagnosis. Advances in x-ray technology provide multiple benefits, including improved treatment outcomes.
The Benefits Of Digital X-Rays
- Safety: Although traditional dental films require minimal radiation for image development, our digital x-ray system provides unsurpassed safety with up to 90% reduction in radiation compared to older film-based systems.
- Time savings: Images captured instantly with a digital sensor lessen your time in the dental chair.
- Better outcomes: Improved image clarity increases our doctor’s ability to diagnose and treat conditions.
Soft Tissue Laser
Laser technology continues to transform many procedures in healthcare. Once the subject of sci-fi movies, lasers now clearly provide benefits for mainstream treatment in medicine and dentistry. Shorter procedures, less discomfort, and quicker healing are just a few benefits of modern lasers.
The mouth’s soft tissues cover about 30 square inches of surface area. Annoying lumps or bumps may need removal, along with any unusual patches of tissue requiring further microscopic analysis. Traditionally, a surgical procedure involving incisions and sutures would be required to produce a biopsy sample. Today, a pen-shaped wand allows our doctors to remove suspicious or bothersome bumps in a couple of minutes. The healing stimulated by laser energy leads to rapid healing and little to no discomfort – all without the need for stitches.
Similarly, gums can be quickly reshaped without bleeding, and some gum infections are now treated with rapid results. Even cold sores or mouth ulcers can undergo faster healing when laser energy passes over the surface. Better yet, the days of discomfort associated with these recurring ulcers can be dramatically decreased. Lasers are also safe for use with children and can help with growth and development issues or help wisdom teeth move into place.
A soft tissue laser offers a valuable benefit to many conditions in the mouth. Our doctors’ specific training in laser protocols opens many possibilities using one of modern dentistry’s most versatile tools.
