Advanced Technology

Dr. K invests in the latest dental technology to ensure her patients receive the highest level of care backed by technologies that improve their dental care experience, promote successful outcomes, and ensure their health and safety. Among the dental technology utilized by Dr. K are robotics to assist with implant planning and surgery, 3D printing, intraoral scanners, laser surgery, in-office milling for porcelain and zirconia restorations, and digital 3D radiographs. Each provides enhanced accuracy and control of patient treatment, significantly decreasing total treatment times.

What are the Advantages of Digital 3D Imaging?

  • Dr K can easily examine the teeth, jawbone, nerves, and soft tissues in three dimensions for earlier diagnosis of dental issues.
  • Digital imaging exposes patients to much less radiation than traditional X-rays.
  • Cavities and issues with the jawbone and tooth roots can be treated more effectively due to crisp, clear images and earlier diagnosis.
  • Easy storage and transmission of images when consulting with other dental professionals.

What are the Advantages of In-Office Milling and 3D Dental Printing?

  • Enhanced accuracy using high-resolution, detailed representations of the patient’s teeth, gums, and jawbone
  • Customized dental restorations can be created the same day for patient convenience and quicker recovery.
  • 3D printing allows Dr. K to offer high-quality restorations and prosthetics at a lower cost without using an outside dental lab.
  • Dramatically reduced production time means Dr. K has more time to focus on her patients.

What are the Advantages of Intraoral Scanning?

  • Enhanced images of the patient’s oral cavity allow Dr. K to illustrate treatment plans in detail for greater patient understanding.
  • Patients no longer have to endure uncomfortable, messy impressions taken with goop-filled trays.
  • Less time in the dental chair while getting high-resolution images.
  • Greater accuracy and precision throughout the treatment process.
  • Less wait time for lab cases since scans are sent electronically, unlike impressions which are sent by mail

What are the Advantages of Dental Lasers?

  • No heat or vibration is necessary for laser treatments, so patients are more comfortable throughout their procedures.
  • No needles or scalpels are needed, minimizing dental anxiety for many patients.
  • Less pain and faster healing times.
  • Greater precision for less invasive oral surgeries and minimal bleeding.
  • Reduced chance of infection.
