Planmeca CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) is an advanced 3D imaging system that provides detailed views of your teeth, bone structure, and soft tissues.
Why is 3D imaging necessary?
3D imaging allows us to diagnose and plan treatments with exceptional precision. It benefits complex cases such as dental implants, orthodontics, and oral surgery. With Planmeca CBCT, we can ensure the most accurate and effective treatment plans.
What is a soft-tissue laser?
A soft-tissue laser is a modern dental tool that uses focused light energy to perform various procedures on the soft tissues in your mouth, such as your gums.
What are the benefits of using a soft-tissue laser?
The soft-tissue laser offers numerous benefits, including reduced discomfort and faster healing times. It is used for procedures such as gum reshaping, treating periodontal disease, and removing oral lesions.
How does Total Health Dental create custom nightguards and retainers?
We make our custom nightguards and retainers in-house using a Drufomat machine. This allows us to design and produce appliances that perfectly fit your unique dental structure.
Why is an in-house production of nightguards and retainers beneficial?
By creating nightguards and retainers in-house, we ensure a faster turnaround time and a precise fit. This personalized approach effectively addresses teeth-grinding issues and helps maintain orthodontic results.
What is minimal dentistry with a fissurotomy bur?
Minimal dentistry involves using specialized tools, such as a fissurotomy bur, to remove cavities with minimal impact on the healthy structure of your teeth.
Why is this approach considered “painless”?
The fissurotomy bur is designed to be less invasive, preserving more of your natural tooth structure and often eliminating the need for anesthesia. This technique reduces discomfort during and after the procedure, making it a nearly painless experience for the patient. We are committed to continuously investing in the latest technology to ensure our patients receive the best possible care at our office. From the Itero 5D digital intraoral scanner and Planmeca CBCT 3D imaging to our soft-tissue laser and in-house custom appliances, our advanced tools ensure precise, comfortable, and effective dental treatments.
