Examining Your Teeth and Gums
Digital x-rays provide a number of benefits over traditional systems. For example, they use up to 80% less radiation, and the images don’t need a long development period in harsh chemicals. Instead, they’re available instantly chairside, so we can walk you through the diagnostic process. We also have digital panoramic x-rays, in which we combine several images taken from different angels to provide a detailed look at your smile, so can identify common problems and create a custom treatment plan. We also have intraoral cameras for gathering digital images and making a diagnosis with greater accuracy!
Better Dental Cleanings
A dental cleaning is a crucial part of your exam visit, as it allows our team to carefully remove all plaque and tartar from the teeth, lowering the risk of issues like bad breath, teeth stains, tooth decay, and gum disease. To make the process faster and more comfortably, we use the Cavitron ultrasonic cleaning system. Instead of trying to scrape away the layers of plaque and tartar, this option employs ultrasonic technology, using sound waves to remove harmful buildup.
Ensuring Your Comfort
Often, we meet patients with dental anxiety that makes the thought of undergoing even minor treatments very uncomfortably. To help them enter a calm and relaxed state, and to help people undergoing more extensive treatment options, we may suggest sedation with nitrous oxide. This sedation is gentle enough for children and adults alike, and the effects wear off almost immediately. Patients generally have little to no memory of the treatment process at all. You inhale the gas through a mask over your nose and mouth, and the effect don’t linger, so you can even drive yourself home or return to work or school. If you have any questions about the advanced technologies we use to treat oral health and improve our patient’s smiles, then contact out team today.
