Gone are the days when going to the dentist meant film x-rays, goopy impressions, and no real understanding of what was happening inside your mouth. Thankfully, today’s modern dental technology makes it possible to keep you comfortable and show you areas of concern, making you a bigger part of your treatment decisions.
At Middletown Dental, we utilize the latest advancements to ensure the best patient experience possible.
So, if you’re a tech-savvy patient who’s looking for dental technology in Middletown, NJ, you’ve come to the right place!
What Types of Technology Do We Use?
That’s a great question!
Let’s take a look at some of the innovative tools we use to ease patient anxiety and provide quality, timely care:
- Digital x-rays and digital scanners— With digital x-rays, we can quickly and easily view what’s going on inside your mouth, helping us diagnose any dental concerns. They’re easy to share with other doctors, and they emit up to 80% less radiation than traditional x-rays.
- Intraoral cameras — This wand-like camera takes full-color photos of the inside of your mouth. In real time, you can see cavities and other issues. We use this technology to educate patients and include them in treatment planning.
- CBCT — This special x-ray takes 3-D images of your teeth, bones, nerves, and soft tissues. These scans help with dental implant placement and bone density screenings.
- Rotary endodontics — This special electric hand tool makes it easier for us to remove infected tissue during root canal therapy, keeping you more comfortable and shortening your treatment time.
- Soft tissue laser — If you need periodontal treatment, our soft tissue laser removes bacteria with minimal discomfort. Soft tissue lasers allow for faster healing and less bleeding than traditional methods.
- The Wand — Our computer-assisted anesthesia system keeps you more comfortable than traditional dental injections. It precisely monitors the anesthesia needed to ensure you don’t feel discomfort during treatment.
