Advances in dental technology have exploded over the last decade. Gone are the days of having to use silver fillings, or tools that cut down on efficiency. Innovative dental technology makes it possible to offer you a better patient experience and a more comprehensive view of your oral health.
Why Is Innovative Dental Technology Important?
The innovative technology that we offer at our office such as 3D imaging scanners, digital x-rays, and panoramic x-rays allow us to get a comprehensive snapshot of your smile. With these tools, we are able to more accurately diagnose the state of your oral health and offer better patient care.
What Dental Technology Do You Offer?
Chris E. Lindsey, DDS, offers a variety of technology that enhances your experience and makes your visit more efficient. We use 3D imaging scanners, digital x-rays, and panoramic x-rays in our daily practice.
3D Imaging Scanners
- Time Lapse Analysis for Tooth and Tissue Health: Our advanced 3D imaging technology tracks the progression of your dental health, allowing us to monitor changes and identify potential issues early on.
- Invisalign Assessment and Treatment: The precision of our 3D scanners plays a crucial role in creating accurate models of your teeth, facilitating the design of Invisalign aligners for a tailored and efficient straightening experience.
- No More Gooey Sticky Impressions: Using 3D imaging technology, we provide quick and comfortable digital impressions, making the traditional, messy dental molds a thing of the past.
Digital X-Rays
If your car has an issue, it’s hard to tell what’s going on unless you have a mechanic check the specific parts. With digital x-rays we can take a look underneath the hood to see what’s really going on with your teeth.
This makes it possible to diagnose gum disease, check for cavities between your teeth, and make sure that restorations fit your teeth. X-rays allow us to do much more for your oral health than we ever could with a visual inspection.
Panoramic X-Rays
Panoramic x-rays capture all of the teeth in both your upper and lower arch in a single image. We use these x-rays to plan treatments such as dental implants and diagnose issues in a particular quadrant of your mouth.
It will feel amazing to get a better understanding of your oral health. We will even show you the images that we capture so that you can see what your smile looks like underneath the surface!
Time Lapse Analysis of Your Teeth
This innovative tool tracks changes in your teeth and gums over time, helping us detect issues early and monitor the effectiveness of treatments. By comparing images taken at different appointments, we can identify subtle shifts or developments in your dental health that might not be immediately apparent.
This technology is useful for tracking the progression of gum disease, tooth movement, and the wear and tear of restorations. It provides both Dr. Lindsey and you with a more comprehensive understanding of your oral health dynamics.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses clear aligners for teeth straightening, offering a discreet and comfortable alternative to metal braces. Plus, no need for messy impressions-we use digital technology for a precise fit. The Invisalign system is customized for each patient, using a series of aligners that gently shift teeth into their desired position.
This method allows for easier cleaning and eating compared to traditional braces. With regular checkups, we can adjust your treatment plan as needed, ensuring optimal results and comfort throughout your smile transformation journey.
Benefits of Dental Technology
Choosing a dentist with advanced dental technology offers multiple benefits:
- Precision: Modern tools allow for more accurate diagnoses and treatments.
- Comfort: Many modern techniques are less invasive, reducing discomfort and recovery time.
- Informed Decisions: Advanced imaging can provide clearer visuals, helping patients understand their dental issues and treatment options better.
