Dental Technology
Our Technology
Dental technologies are continually evolving, driving the profession to higher levels of patient care. Our focus on technology at North Arbor Dental allows for better treatment planning and patient communication. This allows you to make informed decisions abut your oral health.
CEREC
CEREC technology is a revolutionary dental system that allows dentists to create custom dental restorations, such as crowns, veneers, and bridges, in a single visit. The system uses computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology to create precise, high-quality restorations that match the patient's natural teeth. With CEREC technology, patients can avoid multiple appointments, temporary restorations, and messy impressions. CEREC restorations are also made from strong, durable materials that can last for many years. Overall, CEREC technology provides patients with faster, more convenient, and more comfortable dental care.
Digital Scanners
Digital scanners have become an indispensable tool in modern dentistry. They are used to capture high-resolution, three-dimensional images of a patient's teeth and gums, providing our dentists with an accurate and detailed view of the oral cavity. This technology has revolutionized the traditional method of taking dental impressions, which could be uncomfortable and time-consuming for patients. Digital scanners allow for faster, more efficient, and less invasive dental procedures, including the creation of dental prosthetics and orthodontic appliances.
Digtal X-rays
Digital x-rays have become a crucial tool in modern dentistry. They use digital sensors to capture high-resolution images of a patient's teeth, bones, and surrounding tissues. This technology allows our dentists to diagnose dental problems quickly and accurately, such as cavities, gum disease, and impacted teeth. Digital x-rays are safer than traditional film x-rays because they use much less radiation, and the images can be easily stored and accessed electronically. With the use of digital X-rays and we can show any issues with your dental health and discuss the treatment options more clearly, helping you to make informed decisions about your oral health.
Digital Smile Design
Dental smile design is an emerging field in dentistry that focuses on improving the aesthetic appearance of a patient's smile. This involves a detailed analysis of the patient's facial features, dental structure, and gum line to create a personalized treatment plan. Dental smile design techniques include teeth whitening, veneers, orthodontics, and gum reshaping. These procedures not only enhance the beauty of our patients’ smiles but also improve their self-confidence and quality of life. Dental smile design has become increasingly popular in recent years, as more people seek to improve their appearance and achieve the perfect smile.
