To ensure you obtain a diagnosis with precision, and treatment with greater accuracy, we employ advanced digital technology. With this, we can help smiles of all ages! In today’s blog, your Brighton, MA, dentist talks about helping smiles with advanced digital dental technology.
Digital X-Rays and Intraoral Cameras
When we examine your smile, we will do so with advanced digital imaging. To look closely at the surfaces of the teeth, we will employ an intraoral camera, which takes pictures of the teeth with a tiny camera at the end of a thin wand, so we can obtain multiple images quickly and comfortably, and use them to identify issues like inflammation, decay, TMJ concerns, and even bruxism (teeth grinding).
To look at the interior of a tooth for signs of a cavity or infection, or look at underlying attachment tissues and bone structure for indicators of advanced gum disease, we can offer digital x-rays. These use 90% less radiation and the images are available instantly chairside, so we can walk you through the process and you do not have to wait for these images to develop. We can also plan advanced treatments, such as wisdom tooth extraction and even dental implant placement.
iTero® Digital Scanning
If we need to create Invisalign® aligners for patients with misalignment, custom oral appliances to treat TMJ disorder and/or bruxism, or to create custom restorations and prosthetics, we can do so with digital impressions. No need for biting down on a mold filled with gooey material and trying to hold that bite to get a viable impression. Instead, we will take several images of your bite and combine them to create a detailed and panoramic 3D image of your smile. We can plan treatment with precision and then create the custom appliances and restorations needed to restore your health with precision and accuracy.
Your Checkup and Cleaning
When was the last time you saw a dentist for a checkup and cleaning? With a routine visit every six months, our team can take a close look at your smile for signs of trouble with our advanced imaging systems. We can then create a treatment plan tailor-made for your smile, returning your smile to full function, health, and beauty. If you have any questions about protecting your smile with a checkup and cleaning, or if you want to schedule one now with our team, then reach out to our office today to get started.
