Intraoral Cameras
Intraoral cameras are invaluable educational tools that benefit not only our understanding of smiles in the treatment chair but also make the care process more interactive and easier to follow for the patient themselves. We’ll navigate the camera-tipped wand expertly around the mouth, capturing plenty of high-resolution images of the oral structures. These images can then be referred to again and again, providing much-needed clarity as we discuss any problematic findings, possible treatments that could address specific damage, and more.
All-Digital Dental X-Rays
At Donlands Family Dentistry, we’ve left traditional film X-rays safely in the past where they belong. Modern digital radiography offers several outstanding advantages, including the elimination of time-consuming darkrooms and bulky storage systems. Instead, the images we capture are developed and made available for viewing in mere seconds – our team can even alter them digitally with color-coding and magnification for added patient understanding! Better yet, any radiation exposure you experience is significantly reduced for improved diagnostic safety.
Digital Impression System
Some patients surely remember the days of sitting still while the dentist packed their mouth with an uncomfortable mold to create impressions for restorative or cosmetic work. If you have vivid memories of trying not to gag through this process, our use of the iTero® digital impression system will surely be good news. Now, this important process is completed with a few simple, comfortable scans of the mouth – no messy impressions needed. Accuracy is also greatly improved, reducing the need for time-consuming retakes.
Microscopic Dentistry
Microscopic dentistry enables our team to gather highly detailed images of the patient’s teeth, gums, and overall mouth increasing overall visibility up to 20 times what the naked eye is capable of. This modern approach to oral healthcare is extremely useful for detecting minor dental imperfections, hairline enamel fractures, tooth decay, and other early symptoms that will likely only become worse the longer they’re left untreated. With the support of microscopes, Donlands Family Dentistry can keep you and your loved ones’ care as conservative as possible over the years.
Advanced Dental Implant Technology
Our team understands the precision and detail needed to ensure successful results with dental implants, which is why we employ modern, cutting-edge dental technology in our office. From our soft tissue laser for preliminary gum disease treatment to enhanced, high-resolution imaging with our cone beam CT scanner, we’re able to plan your procedures in extreme detail. We invite you to learn a little more about the technology we use below!
Soft Tissue Laser
One of the leading causes of tooth loss is gum disease, which is one of the reasons why we provide dental implants to many patients affected by this oral infection. To help bring your smile into good health before we can safely and successfully place your dental implants, we may need to provide you with laser periodontal treatment. Using our soft tissue laser, we can kill bacteria on-contact and effortlessly remove severely damaged gum tissue, ensuring that healthy tissue remains. This can help start your smile off on the right track from the very beginning.
3D Cone Beam Imaging
Our cone beam CT scanner is an advanced imaging device that creates a 3D digital blueprint of your entire facial anatomy. After rotating around your head for just a few seconds, the device is able to capture thousands of photos that it can then use to create the blueprint. Our dentist, Dr. Ahmed, can then examine the diagnostic image to learn the location of your facial nerves, the density of your jawbone, and even the location of your sinuses. This allows our team to plan your dental implant placement in much greater detail to avoid complications.
Digital Impression System
After your implants have been placed and your abutments have been attached to them, our team will capture digital impressions of your gumline with our iTero® system. All that’s involved during this process is for our team to wave a handheld camera around your mouth. The software will capture countless images and build a 3D, photorealistic model that we can send off to our dental laboratory via a digital file. This means that you won’t have to endure a mouthful of gag-inducing putty!
