Changing the Way You Feel About Dentists: Technology Part 2

July 15th, 2010

When your dentist has the latest proven technologies, it helps you.

It helps you with better treatment. The digital x-rays and photographs are more precise and get more in-depth images. Tooth repair and replacement materials are of higher quality, with closer matches to your existing teeth, and more easily placed.

It helps you with greater comfort. Using the iTero digital photography and modeling system to photograph your mouth and create a virtual 3-D model is much easier on you. You don’t have to sit with a mold in your mouth.

It helps you understand your treatment better. With the patient viewing monitor (see photo) you can see what the dental team sees. For example, they can point out where the cavities are and how the tooth looks after it has been filled.

And there’s another advantage.

You can make changes faster. When it comes time to change dentists because you’re moving, or need specialty work, your dentist can email any recent x-rays to the next dentist for almost instant delivery.

One of our patients came to us after having had a set of x-rays with another dentist. When we were getting her history we learned she’d recently had x-rays. We were able to get the x-rays from her former dentist emailed to our office while she was here.

Little efficiencies like that go a long way to easing the stresses of our busy lives.
