Intraoral Camera
The intraoral camera is a remarkable diagnostic tool that provides views of the mouth from angles previously inaccessible. With this technology, we can examine the entire mouth on a monitor, closely inspecting potential issues. Patients can also view these images firsthand, aiding in their understanding. Additionally, digital images are valuable for securing procedure acceptance from insurance companies.
Soft Tissue Laser
Regal Oaks Dental Charlotte utilizes advanced soft tissue laser technology, a pen-shaped tool that minimizes discomfort while addressing various soft tissue issues in the mouth. This innovative equipment enhances treatments such as gingivectomy and genioplasty, offering precise results with minimal discomfort. Soft tissue laser procedures promote faster healing, eliminate the need for incisions and sutures, and are effective for cosmetic treatments, infection management, and treating cold sores and ulcers. Dr. Patel and Dr. Mitchell are proficient in utilizing this technology for restorative and cosmetic dentistry, ensuring optimal patient comfort and outcomes.
Digital X-Rays
Digital x-rays are increasingly adopted in dentistry, allowing dentists to capture images of teeth and surrounding structures with remarkable accuracy. These images can be examined closely using various tools within imaging software. A major benefit to patients is that digital x-rays expose them to nearly 80% less radiation compared to standard x-rays. This is because digital x-rays are more sensitive to radiation and are specifically designed with patient safety in mind.
CEREC Same-Day Crowns
CEREC is an innovative dental technology used for restoring decayed, cracked, or chipped teeth by creating full crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers. The CEREC machine crafts restorations in just minutes using compressed porcelain. One of the main advantages of CEREC is that it enables a one-visit restoration process. Additionally, patients avoid discomfort from biting on impression materials or wearing temporary restorations.
Digital Imaging
Digital imaging, employing computer technology and digital sensors, revolutionizes the acquisition, viewing, storage, and sharing of radiographic images. Compared to traditional film-based methods, digital imaging offers numerous advantages. Foremost, it reduces patient exposure to radiation significantly. Moreover, digital images can be instantly viewed after acquisition, facilitating simultaneous viewing by multiple practitioners and easy sharing between offices. Additionally, digital x-rays are environmentally friendly, as they eliminate the need for chemicals or paper development. Utilizing an electronic sensor pad instead of film, digital images are seamlessly integrated into the patient's electronic file, enabling convenient viewing, sharing, and printing directly from the computer.
3D Cone Beam Imaging
3D Cone Beam Technology, a specialized form of digital imaging, provides highly detailed, three-dimensional images of the teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures, facilitating accurate diagnosis and treatment planning at Dental Artistry. This technology swiftly captures a series of X-rays from various angles to create a comprehensive 3D model of the patient's mouth in less than a minute, ensuring a painless experience. Once completed, the computer processes the 3D images, enabling dentists to analyze internal structures meticulously and diagnose conditions such as tooth decay, gum disease, or the need for dental implants. Overall, 3D cone beam technology offers a fast, non-invasive method to obtain detailed images of the mouth, empowering dentists to provide precise diagnoses and develop effective treatment plans, leading to improved patient outcomes.
