Our team works hard to ensure each and every patient receives quality care and enjoys a positive experience in our office. To provide an accurate diagnosis and treatment with precision, we often turn to advanced technologies. In today’s blog, your Londonderry, NH, dentist talks about the latest technological additions to our practice!
The VELscope® System
As part of your routine checkup visit, our team will conduct an oral cancer screening. According to the Oral Cancer Foundation, of the estimated 53,000 people who will be diagnosed this year, half will succumb to the disease in just five years, mainly because it is rarely caught in the early, more treatable stages. But with a detailed examination, this increases the chances of an early diagnosis. Our team will use the advanced VELscope® system, which can highlight areas that are potentially cancerous or precancerous, so we can identify them quickly and order a biopsy.
Digital Imaging
We use digital imaging technology to not only make an accurate diagnosis, but to plan treatment with precision. For example, with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging, we can obtain clear and detailed 3D images of your teeth and jawbone, which are instantly available on a chairside monitor. These digital x-rays allow us to make a diagnosis with precision and plan treatment easier, including complex procedures like tooth extraction, grafting, and dental implant placement.
Our team can also aid in the treatment process using our iTero® intraoral cameras. With a tiny digital camera at the end of a thin wand, we can quickly and comfortably gather images of your smile from multiple angles, combining these images and measurements to create a detailed 3D impression of your bite, one far more accurate than a traditional physical mold. With this information, we can create Invisalign ® aligners, custom crowns, and appliances to treat issues like TMJ disorder and bruxism, bringing relief to your smile.
AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis Master
The latest addition to our office is the AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis Master, a system that employs Guided Biofilm Therapy to offer better maintenance for your smile. The system combines air pressure and water to provide cleanings with better comfort and precision than traditional scaling systems and manual picks, and this can help conduct routine cleanings and even treatment for periodontal disease. This system can aid in the treatment of cavities as well. You enjoy procedures with care, precision, and comfort!
If you have any questions about the technology we use, then contact our team today. We look forward to helping you enjoy better oral health and a positive experience in our office.
