When we think about the advancements made within the world of dentistry over the past decade, most people commonly think of cosmetic dentistry treatments, such as whitening and braces. However, the truth is that dental technology has spurred numerous new treatments and procedures aimed at improving patient comfort and treatment times. In this blog post, we will take a closer look at some of the advanced dental technologies used at EGil Dental.
3D Dental Imaging
One of the most significant advancements in dental technology in recent years is the development of 3D dental imaging. At EGil Dental, we use the Planmeca ProMax 3D Plus, multi-functional panoramic and CBCT system. This system provides the dentist with an in-depth view of the patient’s teeth, giving them an accurate representation of the tooth structure and supporting tissues. This helps to make an exact diagnosis and tailor the treatment plan to the patient’s unique needs.
Intraoral Cameras
Another advanced form of dental technology that we use at EGil Dental is the intraoral camera. This device consists of a small digital camera that the dentist can use to get a close up view of a patient’s teeth and gums. This allows the dentist to diagnose any small issues before they become a big problem. The images can also be easily shared with the patient, providing them with a clear understanding of their dental health.
Laser Technology
Laser technology has transformed the way that we diagnose and treat oral health issues. At EGil Dental, we use the latest laser technology, such as the Waterlase iPlus, which uses a special water and air combination to remove hard and soft tissue. This technology is used for a range of procedures, such as fillings, extraction of broken teeth, and gum contouring.
Digital X-rays
Digital x-rays are another advanced form of dental technology that is being used at EGil Dental. These x-rays use a lower dosage of radiation than traditional x-rays, while providing a higher level of detail. This allows the dentist to get a clearer view of the patient’s teeth and supporting structures, which makes diagnosing and treatment planning simpler. Digital x-rays also provide the patient with a quicker and more comfortable experience.
Microscopes
Microscopes have been used in dentistry for a long time, but the technology used today is far more advanced than the previous models. At EGil Dental, we use advanced microscopes that allow the dentist to get a detailed view of the patient’s mouth. This allows the dentist to diagnose and treat infections of the teeth or gums with far greater accuracy than in the past. The advanced microscopes used at EGil Dental are also more comfortable for the patient, as they require less light and are less invasive than the previous models.
Conclusion
Thanks to the advancements made within the world of dental technology, it is now possible to diagnose and treat a range of oral health issues more accurately and with less discomfort than ever before. At EGil Dental, we use the latest advanced dental technologies, such as 3D imaging, intraoral cameras, laser technology, digital x-rays, and microscopes, to ensure that all of our patients receive the highest standard of care.
