Odontología de precisión

Cuando usted busca atención en nuestra oficina, Usted está seguro el Dr.. Lewis and staff utilize the latest in technology to enhance the quality and fit for your dental care.

Our practice uses high power microscopes to enhance the precision of patient care.

Dentistry is micro-surgery. Using microscope that is similar to the one an ophthalmologist uses enables us to create dental restorations with incredibly precise fit and finish. You just can’t fulfill that level of care with the naked eye.

Además de permitir el exacto, trabajo de primer plano, el microscopio dirige un haz de luz directamente sobre los dientes, reducir al mínimo fulgor para usted.

Muchos dentistas utilizan aire comprimido “piezas de mano” (el término dental para “taladros de”). Tiempo aceptable para muchos procedimientos, Estos “whiney sounding” piezas de mano neumáticas todos tienen un grado de concentricidad no; they do not rotate perfectly smoothly.

For the most precise aspects of restorative procedures, we use electric hand-pieces. This results in extraordinarily precise interfaces between your tooth and your new restoration (dental crown, tooth veneer, o tooth filling). This will bring more comfort to you as well. With a more precise tool, hay menos vibraciones y menos ruido.

La proyección de imagen digital

Dr. Lewis chooses carefully which and when radiographs are taken. There are many guidelines that we follow. Radiographs allow us to see everything we cannot see with our own eyes. Radiographs enable us to detect cavities in between your teeth, determine bone level, and analyze the health of your bone. También podemos examinar las raíces y los nervios de los dientes, diagnosticar lesiones tales como quistes o tumores, as well as assess damage when trauma occurs.

Dental radiographs are invaluable aids in diagnosing, tratamiento de la, y mantener la salud dental. Exposure time for dental radiographs is extremely minimal. Dr. Lewis utilizes Digital Imaging Technologies within the office. Con digital imaging, exposure time is about 50 percent less when compared to traditional radiographs. Digital imaging can also help us retrieve valuable diagnostic information. We may be able to see cavities better.

Digital imaging allows us to store patient images, y nos permite rápidamente y fácilmente transferirlos a especialistas o las compañías de seguros.

Digital X-Rays:

Rayos X digitales offer more precision since we view the image on a computer monitor, instead of holding up a 35mm film up to the light. Resultados de rayos x digitales en 1/6 de la exposición a la radiación que.

Odontología láser

For patients who do not look forward to needles, drilling, or numbness, Laser Dentistry may be the right choice.

Laser dentistry is one of dentistry’s latest advances. The laser delivers energy in the form of light. Dependiendo de los resultados previstos, esta energía viaja a diferentes longitudes de onda y es absorbida por un “destino.” En odontología, estos objetivos pueden ser esmalte, decadencia, tejido gingival, o potenciadores para blanquear. Cada uno absorbe diferentes longitudes de onda de la luz mientras que refleja otras. Odontología del laser se puede utilizar para el diente y suave tejido relacionadas con procedimientos. Oftentimes no local anesthesia is required. Unlike with the dental drill, with laser dentistry there is no heat or vibration, making the procedure quite comfortable for most patients. For soft tissue (surgical) procedures it eliminates the need for suturing and healing is much faster.

Lasers can be used to diagnose cavities. They can find hidden decay in teeth in early stages, and in some cases the decay can be reversed through hygiene and fluoride treatment and may never need filling.

Areas of dental care that benefit from laser technology:

Dental lasers have been shown to be safe and effective for treating both children and adults.

Cámara intraoral

Many patients, pacientes especialmente los más pequeños, are very familiar with the latest technology and are comfortable with the high tech practice. Computers and TV screens are their primary method of information processing.

Dr. Lewis utilizes Intraoral Camera technology that helps enhance your understanding of your diagnosis. enfermedad de alzheimer Cámara intraoral is a very small camera – en algunos casos, just a few millimeters long. An Intraoral Camera allows our practice to view clear, imágenes exactas de tu boca, dientes y encías, in order for us to accurately make a diagnosis. With clear, defined, enlarged images, you see details that may be missed by standard mirror examinations. This can mean faster diagnosis with less chair-time for you!

Intraoral cameras also enable our practice to save your images in our office computer to provide a permanent record of treatments. Estas imágenes pueden ser impresas para usted, otros especialistas, y sus compañías de seguro o laboratorio.
