We want your entire family to enjoy a positive experience in our office, and to obtain treatment that improves the health, function, and overall beauty of your smile. To ensure this, we implement advanced technology in each part of the treatment process. In today’s blog, your Richardson, TX, dentist looks at our digital x-rays and more!
Diagnosing Your Smile
When we see you for an exam, we will talk to you about your oral health habits and any potential symptoms that could mean trouble for your smile. To look closely at the surfaces of your smile, we could use a digital intraoral camera, which provides high-definition images of your smile in greater detail. We then project these on a monitor so we can walk you through the diagnosis and identify any areas of concern.
But about the roots and structures beneath the gums? With digital x-rays we obtain these images without the need for bitewings or a lengthy wait for development. Instead, we gather these images quickly and comfortably with a digital alternative, and they are sent instantly to a chairside monitor. The system uses 90% less radiation and is safe for patients of all ages!
Repairing Your Teeth
If you have unsightly white spots on your teeth, this could mean weakening enamel. Not only does this impact the appearance of your smile, but you could be on the verge of cavities and infection. But with the advanced Icon 2 system, we can use an injection of unique resin material to mask these white spots and in the process, strengthen the enamel. This is also helpful if spots appear on your teeth following the removal of your braces.
Regardless of the treatment you are receiving, we want you to feel comfortable, which is why we administer a local anesthetic. Instead of relying on just an injection, which can be uncomfortable, we can employ a new technology to make the administration of local anesthesia a more comfortable experience. DentalVibe uses gentle vibrations to make the process more comfortable, which is helpful for all patients, especially those with dental anxiety.
Convenience
We’ve gone digital with our patient records and x-rays! Which means we can easily and quickly send these to specialists and answer your inquiries much quicker and easier. If you have any questions about our technologies, contact our team today to learn more.
