How Dental Technology Makes Our Dentistry Better
- Lasers Reduce Bleeding and Shorten Healing Time
- DryShield Makes Treatment Easier and More Comfortable
- Comprehensive Diagnostic Instruments That Improve Accuracy
CBCT Scanner
While standard digital X-rays and thorough checkups can tell us a lot about your teeth, some complex treatments (like dental implants) require more detailed information. That's where CBCT scanners come into play! By capturing 3D X-rays of your mouth, they’re able to provide us with a detailed picture of your oral cavity from different angles. Not only do they highlight your teeth and gums, but they also highlight critical parts like blood vessels and nerves. This detailed view is helpful when planning treatments, especially for advanced cases like dental implants. It allows us to tailor the procedure based on your unique oral health needs.
Healthy Mouth App
Designed by the prestigious KOIS Center, Healthy Mouth allows you to quickly perform an oral examination that will predict your risk for several types of health problems, including cavities, gum disease, heart issues, and more. It’s simple to use, offers more than 75 informative articles written by dentists and researchers, and can even help you track your brushing and flossing habits to make sure you’re cleaning your mouth as effectively as possible. Dr. Parry has recommended it to several guests and has seen great success!
3D Printed Oral Appliances
Dr. Parry and our team recognize how important efficiency is, which is why he has integrated 3D printed oral appliances into our dental office. Whether it’s a custom nightguard, dentures, veneers, temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) appliance, or any other removable device, he can save time without sacrificing quality. Patients who need a denture can receive it in 1-3 days (as opposed to six weeks), and those needing a TMD appliance can expect one designed for their comfort in less than 72 hours. Better yet, Dr. Parry keeps a second 3D printer in the waiting area that only prints toys for kids!
Virtual Smile Consultation
Instead of trying to carve time out of your schedule to visit our office for an appointment, Dr. Parry is pleased to offer a virtual smile consultation via teledentistry. By taking three photos of your smile from different angles and describing your various concerns, Dr. Parry can review the material and email you his response, which will include which necessary steps you should plan to take next.
DentoFacial Analyzer
Want to do something to improve the overall look of your smile, but don’t know where to start? Dr. Parry can use the KOIS Center’s DentoFacial Analyzer to examine how your smile looks in relation to the rest of your face and determine which specific treatments could help you achieve your ideal result. The same technology can also give you a preview of how certain procedures will enhance your appearance, like veneers or whitening. To take advantage of this state-of-the-art service, contact us today!
Intraoral Camera
Simply describing what’s happening in your mouth doesn’t always give you a clear idea of what the situation is and why specific treatments are necessary. Intraoral cameras are useful for helping our guests fully understand their unique situation. These wand-like devices can connect to a computer so that we can show you images of your teeth and other oral structures. Since the images are of such high quality, it also becomes easier for us to spot fractures, cavities, and other oral health issues.
Digital X-Rays
Instead of using traditional film, dentists nowadays prefer taking digital X-rays of the oral cavity to check for dental issues that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to see. Digital images tend to be much more detailed, and they can be developed in just a few seconds without the use of a darkroom or any chemicals that could damage the environment. There’s also safety to consider, as digital X-rays expose the guest to much less radiation compared to traditional X-rays.
Digital Impression System
If cold, messy dental putty triggered your gag reflex in the past, you do not need to worry anymore, as Dr. Parry and our team now use a digital impression system. This advanced technology allows us to quickly scan your teeth and bite, producing a 3D model that can be used to generate a custom-made restoration for your smile.
Digital Smile Design
What needs to be done to restore the harmony of your overall smile? What will the results look like once we’re done? A digital smile evaluation process involves the use of the KOIS DentoFacial Analyzer, which lets us examine not just your teeth, but also the overall structure of your face. Not only do these images help us make accurate diagnoses and develop high-quality treatment plans, but they can also give you an idea of what your smile will look like afterward.
DryShield
DryShield is a special isolation device that performs multiple tasks at once, including removing oral debris, saliva ejection, and protecting the oral pathways. It makes it easier for us to provide routine cleanings and perform various procedures while you stay relaxed and comfortable. The device is recyclable and environmentally friendly, plus it significantly reduces the number of aerosols that are produced during treatment.
