Modern Technology Allows for Less Invasive Dental Care
We should all be aware, at least on the fringes of our minds, that Dentistry continues to advance with innovative technologies that transform how procedures are performed. Minimally invasive techniques enabled by high-tech tools allow problems to be addressed with greater precision, efficiency, and comfort.
At Discovery Dental & Implants in Las Vegas, we integrate cutting-edge technology into our practice so we can provide patients with treatment that is as gentle as possible. Here are some of the latest minimally invasive tools we use:
Lasers for Cavity Fillings
Lasers selectively remove decay while preserving healthy tooth structure better than drills. Our advanced DIAGNOdent cavity detection technology and dual-wavelength laser precisely treat small lesions.
CEREC CAD/CAM for Crowns
CEREC creates custom crowns, veneers, and bridges in a single appointment. An intraoral scanner quickly captures precise 3D images to design restorations digitally. The restoration is then milled from a ceramic block.
Digital Radiography
Digital X-rays expose you to less radiation than film X-rays while offering enhanced image quality for early diagnosis. Images appear instantly on the screen for efficient exams.
Rotary Endodontic Systems
Advanced rotary tools allow root canal treatment through small openings, avoiding unnecessary drilling. Flexible files conform to the natural shape of the root canal for thorough cleaning and disinfection.
3D CBCT Imaging
Cone beam CT captures panoramic and 3D images in a single scan. This offers detailed views of oral structures to aid complex treatments like implants. Radiation is up to 90% less than traditional CT scans.
Magnification Loupes and Microscopes
These devices give dentists enhanced visualization of the operating field for delicate treatments. Miniaturized hand instruments further facilitate minimally invasive techniques.
With ongoing advances in technology, we can address more dental issues without extensive drilling or trauma. Contact Discovery Dental & Implants today to learn which minimally invasive options are right for your needs, whether a simple filling or complex surgery. Our high-tech tools allow us to provide the most precise, gentle care possible.
