Technology
We love that we are able to provide patients with a wide array of procedures and services.
Digital X-Rays
An electronic pad, known as a sensor is used instead of film to acquire a digital image. After the image is taken, it goes directly into the patient’s file on the computer. Once it is stored on the computer, it can be easily viewed on a screen, shared, or printed out.
Panoramic X-Rays
Intraoral Camera
An intraoral camera is a wonderful communication tool that allows the dentist to directly show a patient a close up view of every tooth and the nearby soft tissues. With this technology any areas of concern can be instantly displayed and discussed.
The intraoral camera can also capture individual images that can be saved as part of a patient’s permanent record. These saved images can be reproduced when needed for use by other dental specialists, a dental laboratory, insurance companies, and others.
Soft Tissue Laser
By eliminating direct tissue contact, along with the pressure or any other type of discomfort typically associated with procedures involving a surgical scalpel, soft tissue lasers can minimize the need for dental anesthesia. In addition to the delivery of care that is more comfortable, soft tissue lasers also offer excellent hemostasis to control bleeding during surgical procedures as well as provide quicker recovery and healing times with reduced amounts of post-operative swelling and scarring.
Soft tissue lasers have multiple applications and can be used by your dentist to provide many types of care, including periodontal procedures to treat gum disease as well as recontouring gingival tissues for cosmetic purposes and the placement of dental prostheses. Dental laser technology can also be used in the treatment of mouth ulcerations and viral lesions, the incision, and drainage of abscesses, biopsies, the removal of fibromas, the performance of frenectomies, and for the exposure of unerupted permanent teeth or to uncover dental implants in order to facilitate the placement of a restoration.
Thanks to the advent of soft tissue laser technology, your dentist can provide precise and gentle care for a more comfortable and stress-free dental experience!
Cavitron
A cavitron unit uses a steady stream of water coupled with various frequencies of vibration to clean the teeth. This technology not only provides for a more comfortable patient experience, but it also produces less tissue trauma to the teeth and surrounding areas.
Intraoral Scanner
i-Cat™ 3D Imaging
An exceptionally designed and engineered system, i-CAT imaging system offers minimal-exposure imaging options and can very comfortably obtain distortion-free, detailed views from several angles. The i-CAT system provides essential information for multiple types of analyses, as well as the assessment of maxillofacial disorders or pathology. It is also most useful in surgical planning, including the accurate placement of dental implants.
DIAGNOdent®
CAD/CAM
What is CAD/CAM Technology?
CAD/CAM stands for computer-aided design & computer-aided manufacturing. CAD/CAM software supports comprehensive case planning, including the precise analysis of diagnostic data along with the design and fabrication of restorations such as dental crowns and bridges as well as other oral appliances.
No Messy Dental Impressions
CAD/CAM systems utilize comfortable optical scanning technology to obtain a virtual dental impression of the patient’s teeth and occlusion. This data is used to generate a detailed 3D intraoral image and create a computer-generated model on which a restoration or appliance may be designed.
Enables the Provisions of More Comfortable and Convenient Care
An integrated CAD/CAM system elevates and streamlines the workflow process from consultation or exam to the construction of custom-fitted appliances and restorations. CAD/CAM technology makes the provision of complex and multi-step procedures faster and more precise and offers a more comfortable and convenient patient experience.
Trios® Digital Scanner
More Efficient, Precise & Comfortable Care!
The 3Shape TRIOS® Intraoral Scanner optimizes every aspect of care. From obtaining the most accurate and comfortable 3D digital impressions to the generation of dental models for the custom fabrication of orthodontic aligners, appliances for the treatment of sleep apnea, and dental prostheses such as crowns, the 3Shape TRIOS Intraoral Scanner provides a more pleasant patient experience while producing more predictable results and better outcomes of care.
A Slender Scanning Wand Captures Detailed Intraoral Views
The 3Shape TRIOS Intraoral Scanner enables dentists to obtain detailed 3D digital impressions of a patient’s teeth and occlusion to deliver the most precise, efficient, and comfortable care. A guided scanning process using an ergonomically designed wand captures and integrates multiple intraoral images from every angle to generate highly accurate 3D impressions. The 3Shape TRIOS Intraoral Scanner provides a far more pleasant office experience for the patient than the conventional methods of taking dental impressions. Compatible with multiple digital systems, the 3Shape TRIOS Intraoral Scanner allows for the seamless and efficient generation of dental models for the custom fabrication of dental prostheses such as crowns as well as orthodontic aligners. With the 3Shape TRIOS Intraoral Scanner, the practitioner consistently obtains the most precise information for more predictable results and better outcomes of care.
Alpha Stim
The Alpha-Stim® electrotherapy device provides a drug-free adjunct to care, supporting pain management and the reduction of anxiety during dental visits. By delivering a safe and gentle level of microcurrents, this small, therapeutic device modulates nerve cell signals to naturally reduce stress and promote relaxation without drugs or medication.
By safely and gently modulating activity associated with the brain’s alpha rhythms, this easy to wear device not only reduces anxiety, but it also controls the sensation and perception of particular types of pain. In addition to its applications for anxiety reduction and the relief of acute or chronic pain, Alpha-Stim may also be used in the treatment of insomnia, depression, headaches, TMJ disorders, and to alleviate muscle tension.
The Wand® STA
The Wand® is a computer-controlled STA (single-tooth anesthesia) delivery system, which offers a more comfortable alternative to conventional injections for getting a tooth numb before a dental procedure. Using a computer-assisted platform for the delivery of local anesthesia, The Wand controls both the injected flow rate and pressure of the anesthetic as it is being provided for a more accurate, consistent, and painless patient experience.
In addition to offering a less intimidating and pain-free approach to the delivery of local anesthesia, The Wand eliminates the lingering numbness of the tongue, lips, and face that typically follows dental procedures performed with conventional syringe injections.
With the provision of painless as well as rapid onset single tooth anesthesia, this technology significantly reduces patient anxiety, thereby making dental work a more positive and comfortable experience. In the presence of rapid onset local anesthesia and the absence of collateral numbness, the Wand allows dentists to perform bi-lateral dental procedures that would otherwise require extra visits.
At the office of Precision Dental Care, our goals are to make dental visits more comfortable and to achieve outstanding outcomes of care!
Microscope Enhanced Dentistry
With a clear and up-close view of details that are not readily visible to the naked eye or sufficiently magnified with dental loupes, operating microscopes support the precise delivery of care as well as more predictable and consistently successful treatment outcomes.
At Precision Dental Care, we’re committed to providing the highest quality of skilled, state-of-the-art care.
Isolite®
At the office of Precision Dental Care, we strive to provide the highest quality of precise and gentle care. Every procedure is performed with patient safety and comfort in mind.
Helping to Ensure Safe, Efficient and Comfortable Care
The Isolite® dental isolation system from ZyrisTM is designed with every aspect of treatment in mind and to support the safe, comfortable, and efficient provision of care.
Tissue Retraction, Moisture control, Illumination and More
The Isolite mouthpiece serves as a bite block to keep the mouth comfortably open for the delivery of care. While gently propping the jaws open, the Isolite mouthpiece also retracts both the cheek and tongue to prevent them from getting in the way of treatment as well as getting inadvertently injured. In addition to these features, the Isolite mouthpiece contains a shield that protects the back of the throat from any dental debris that may be swallowed or aspirated. With the added benefits of dual-channel suction and a built-in illumination to light up the operating field, the Isolite dental isolation system offers improved moisture control and optimum visibility throughout every procedure.
Wax-Up Models
In some cases, when complex restorations or cosmetic dental work is required, it’s helpful to visualize the potential outcome of care. To see what the results may look like as well as to help ensure proper fitting restorations, we may recommend and fabricate an accurate model of your mouth, which is known as a wax-up. As a replica of your teeth, a wax-up typically includes a simulation of the proposed restorations. By viewing a wax-up, any modifications or changes to the proposed restorations can be decided before your dental work is sent to the lab for fabrication.
Our goals are to achieve cosmetically pleasing, healthy, and long-lasting outcomes of treatment. At Precision Dental Care, we establish partnerships based on trust with our patients and pay close attention to their smile goals and expectations of care.
ViziLite® Oral Cancer Screening
A painless and fast oral cancer screening with the ViziLite Plus system may be combined with your regular checkup visit. After rinsing your mouth with a special cleansing solution, the dentist will simply pass the ViziLite Plus light over the tissues in your mouth. If there are any abnormal changes to the mucous membranes lining the mouth and throat, the area will appear in a different color from the surrounding healthy tissues. In the event that anything is detected, further diagnostic assessments will be recommended as needed.
ATLANTIS® Conus
While the Atlantis Conus concept offers a removable solution for the replacement of missing teeth, it also provides the comfort and confidence of permanent fixed restorations. And, because these appliances are completely removable, they can be easily taken out for oral hygiene purposes and maintenance care.
