State-of-the-Art Technology for Precise, Comfortable Care
We care about your comfort and safety, so we employ state-of-the-art tools and technology at our Edgewood dental office. Our entire team stays current with advances in dentistry to deliver a positive, pleasant experience.
Here’s a sampling of what you’ll find at our modern Edgewood dental office:
-
Intraoral Cameras and Chairside Monitors: We’ll use a tiny camera to take pictures of your teeth and gums, then display the images on your chairside monitor. These images are extremely useful to explain findings and suggested therapies.
-
Digital X-rays: Compared to traditional radiography, digital X-rays emit about 80% less radiation. The images are immediately available for viewing and can be electronically transmitted to insurance companies and specialists.
-
Panorex: This high-tech machine delivers a panoramic, two-dimensional view of your oral cavity to help your dentist identify issues not easily found during a manual or visual exam.
-
Digital Imaging and Wax Ups: These tools allow us to create smile previews that show the proposed benefits of specific treatment options.
-
Air Abrasion: Comfortable and effective, this technology is a welcome replacement to a dental drill. It uses a stream of air and tiny abrasive particles to whisk away tooth decay in preparation for restoration.
-
CAESY: Our patient education system contains short videos that provide information on our services and treatments.
-
CEREC: This revolutionary machine custom-mills crowns while you wait. No temporary and no waiting weeks for your permanent restoration.
-
DIAGNOdent: Your dentist will use this state-of-the-art tool to scan teeth for decay. The laser gently and efficiently identifies areas of demineralization, which are precursors to cavities.
-
VELscope: During your checkup or new patient exam, your dentist will use a VELscope to screen you for oral cancer. This life-saving device uses a special light to identify suspicious tissue that requires additional investigation.
-
PerioLase Soft-Tissue Laser: Ideal for restorative and cosmetic therapies, our soft-tissue laser seals as it goes, so there’s no need for stitches. Minimal bleeding occurs, and recovery time is faster than with traditional surgery methods.
-
Sedation Dentistry: We use oral conscious sedation and nitrous oxide to eliminate dental anxiety and promote a calm, peaceful experience.
-
The Wand: This revolutionary, computerized anesthesia unit delivers a pre-injection numbing solution and then manages the flow of anesthesia for comfortable numbing.
-
We have televisions and VCRs in all of our treatment room, a large selection of PC-based music, and Internet radio access for your listening and viewing pleasure.
