Advanced technology provides a way to plan and implement prosthodontic treatment with precision, whether we are addressing a child who is tongue tied, or placing dental implants for adults. In today’s blog, Dr. Stuart Dexter and our team in Prairie Village, KS, talk about rebuilding your smile with advanced technology.
Planning Your Treatment
How do we use advanced technology to plan treatment for your smile? If you need prosthodontic treatment, this could be more extensive and involved than other traditional dental treatments, which means we want to take this on with a personalized and preventive approach. For example, we would offer Cone-Beam Computed Tomography, or CBCT 3D imaging, to see beneath the gums and into the jawbone and tooth roots. We can also peer into the teeth as well, creating a panoramic and detailed picture of your smile. We’ve been using this advanced system for over a decade to plan treatment with accuracy and offer optimal care for our patients.
Our team can also plan and guide treatment with the X-Guide surgical navigation system. This helps oversee and guide our team as we conduct dental implant placement, or conduct oral surgery as needed. We can then take on more severe concerns, such as loss of facial structure and natural teeth, with better precision.
Creating Custom Appliances and More
If we need to create dental implant restorations and prosthetics, or maxillofacial prosthetics or appliances, we want to do so with precision and accuracy, so the completed items fit comfortably, offer better bite balance and esthetics, and can last for years to come. Instead of a traditional impression, where you could bite down on a mold filled with a gooey material, we offer a digital alternative that is far more precise and convenient. With the 3Shape TRIOS 6 Intraoral Scanner, a tiny digital camera at the end of a thin wand allows us to capture images of your bite from multiple angles, and then combine these for a 3D impression that is far more accurate!
Healing
If we need to take on soft tissue concerns, such as tongue ties or soft tissue sculpting, then our team could employ the CO₂ laser system, which allows us to conduct care with precision, and ensure a faster healing period and a lowered risk of complications. If you have any questions about how we rebuild your smile with advanced technology, then contact our team today to learn more and get started. We want to help transform your smile!
