Dental Technology
Digital X-Rays:
We are fortunate to offer 2D and 3D imaging for diagnosis and planning. The images are immediate and can allow us to assess questionable areas, especially with the 3D format. This advanced imaging allows us to have a more comprehensive look at our patient’s oral health.
Digital Impressions:
This technology is being utilized for many aspects of dental care. A small hand held camera is used to scan your teeth and soft tissue. This takes the place of uncomfortable impressions. This scanning device allows us to create one visit porcelain restorations, models of your teeth in addition to numerous other treatment modalities.
CAD/CAM Dentistry:
Utilizing the digital scans from the above mentioned scanner, we then relay them in office to one our milling units to fabricate final porcelain restorations in a single appointment. The accuracy and efficiency of this technology is unsurpassed as well as keeping your personal schedules open.
Soft Tissue Laser Therapy:
Dr. Cech and her hygienists are certified and use our soft tissue laser in areas that are not responding to more aggressive hygiene therapy as well as localized antibiotic placement. The laser can also be used for numerous other situations and allows for better healing and less discomfort.
Computer Assisted Dental Anesthetia:
No more big, scary syringes. Dr Cech has been using the Wand for almost 20 years to anesthetize teeth and gum tissue. This device is computer driven making anesthesia delivery discomfort as minimal as possible.
Diagnodent:
The Diagnodent is one more adjunctive diagnostic tool used after you have had your teeth polished to assess for decay in grooves of teeth or margins of crowns. This is used routinely during your hygiene appointment when teeth are clean. This tool allows us to diagnose, monitor or treat cavities before they become larger necessitating more involved care.
