Gemini Laser
The Gemini Laser is a state-of-the-art laser that is used for periodontal treatments. It is a minimally invasive procedure that can help to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from the teeth and gums. The Gemini Laser also helps to stimulate the gums to heal and regenerate.
Benefits of the Gemini Laser
Less pain and discomfort
The Gemini Laser is a minimally invasive procedure, so it causes less pain and discomfort than traditional methods, such as scaling and root planing.
Shorter treatment time
The Gemini Laser is a fast procedure, so patients can typically return to their normal activities sooner.
Reduced risk of infection
The Gemini Laser helps to kill bacteria, which can help to reduce the risk of infection.
Faster healing time
The Gemini Laser helps to stimulate the gums to heal, which can lead to a faster healing time.
Enhanced gum health
The Gemini Laser can help to improve gum health and prevent periodontal disease from returning.
3-D Printing
Dental Appliances
A 3-D printer is a device that can be used to create crowns, bridges, and other dental restorations. The 3-D printer uses a digital file of the patient's teeth to create a precise replica of the restoration. This allows for a more accurate fit and a more natural-looking restoration.
Benefits of 3-D Printing for Dental Appliances
Customization
3-D printing allows for greater customization of dental appliances than traditional methods. This means that the appliances can be tailored to the individual patient's needs, which can lead to a better fit and a more comfortable experience.
Precision
3-D printing is a very precise process, which means that the appliances can be created with great accuracy. This is important for appliances that need to fit tightly, such as Invisalign aligners.
Durability
3-D printed appliances are typically more durable than traditional appliances. This is because they are made of stronger materials and they are less likely to break or chip.
Cost-effectiveness
3-D printing can be a cost-effective way to create dental appliances. This is because the process is relatively quick and easy, and the materials are relatively inexpensive.
Itero Machine for More Detailed
X-rays
The Itero machine is a digital x-ray system that takes more detailed images of the teeth and gums than traditional x-rays. This allows the dentist to see more detail and to make more accurate diagnoses. The Itero machine also allows the dentist to create a 3-D model of the patient's teeth, which can be used to plan treatment and to create restorations.
Benefits of the Itero Machine
More detailed images
The Itero machine takes more detailed images than traditional x-rays, which allows the dentist to see problems that would not be visible otherwise.
More accurate diagnoses
The more detailed images allow the dentist to make more accurate diagnoses, which can lead to better treatment outcomes.
Easier plan treatment for impressions
The 3-D model of the patient's teeth can be used to plan treatment, which can help to ensure that the treatment is effective and meets the patient's needs.
More natural-looking restorations
The 3-D model can be used to create restorations that are perfectly matched to the patient's teeth, which results in a more natural-looking smile.
Shorter treatment time
The Itero machine can help to shorten the treatment time, which is more convenient for patients.
CEREC
Crowns
CEREC crowns are crowns that are created in the dental office using a CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) system. The CEREC system allows the dentist to create a crown in a single visit. This is a more convenient and less invasive procedure than traditional crown placement.
Benefits of CEREC Crowns
Single-visit procedure
CEREC crowns can be created in a single visit, which is more convenient for patients.
More convenient
CEREC crowns are less invasive than traditional crowns, so they are more convenient for patients.
Less invasive
CEREC crowns do not require as much tooth preparation as traditional crowns, so they are less invasive for patients.
More natural-looking
CEREC crowns can be made to look and feel like natural teeth.
Shorter treatment time
CEREC crowns can be created in a shorter amount of time than traditional crowns.
