Common Types of Dental Technology
Our practice features many types of dental technologies, ranging from diagnostic equipment such as X-rays to devices used to create restorations and appliances. Here are some of the technologies you may see our dentist and team using when you visit us:
FAQ
How safe are dental X-rays?
Dental X-rays are very safe for patients of all ages. In fact, you are exposed to less radiation with dental X-rays than you are by exposure to the sun in your day-to-day life. Best of all, as technology advances, X-rays become even more safe. Digital imaging technologies and higher-speed X-rays produce up to 90% less radiation than film X-rays, for example. Additionally, federal law requires that X-ray machines be checked for safety and accuracy regularly, and our dentist and team make sure to follow these guidelines and keep our X-ray machines in tip-top condition.
How does dental technology change my dental experience?
Dental technology has greatly improved the experience of visiting the dental office. In the past, dental appointments were often associated with stress, anxiety and discomfort. Technology changes your experience from the moment you arrive at the office, giving you a personalized treatment process that is more comfortable and faster with more reliable treatment outcomes and minimal or no stress or anxiety. For example, electronic health records allow our dentist and team to protect your personal information while also allowing us to update your records for treatment. Advanced imaging technology allows us to view your teeth and mouth in greater detail to detect even the smallest of problems. Natural-looking and biocompatible materials allow our dentist to provide you with durable, naturally beautiful and healthier treatment options. We invite you to contact our team today to find out more about the technologies used in our office and how they can benefit you!
How is dental technology important to my health and well-being?
Your oral health plays a vital role in your overall health and well-being. Your mouth is a gateway to your body, and in many cases, a problem that impacts your oral health will also contribute to a medical condition as well. The advances in dental technology allow our dentist to diagnose developing problems and provide treatment earlier so that you can regain your oral health and continue to enjoy all the benefits of a healthy mouth and smile. Problems which are diagnosed early are easier to treat and can often be treated in a fraction of the time they would have required in the past. Technology also allows our dentist to provide you with less invasive treatment options and procedures which are more comfortable. Give us a call to learn more!
