Dental Technology
At Dublin Family Dental, we use cutting-edge dental technology to provide you with safe, fast, and effective results!
Intraoral Camera
An intraoral camera is a handheld appliance that is shaped like a wand. The tiny camera at the tip of the appliance takes hundreds of pictures per second to capture an in-depth and accurate image of your mouth. This image is sometimes used to create a digital impression of your teeth and gums. A digital impression is particularly useful for same-day dental crowns.
Digital Radiography
In the past, most dental professionals had to use traditional X-ray systems, which require film development. These days, we use digital X-rays due to their many benefits. A digital X-ray is safer and much quicker than its film predecessor. If the image comes out blurry, we can instantly retake a new one. Digital X-rays are a crucial diagnostic tool that helps us gain a better understanding of the inner workings of your mouth, more specifically, the teeth, roots, and alveolar bone.
Same-Day Crowns
Dr. Cynthia Ignacio and team understand how valuable your time is, which is why we offer same-day dental crowns. This means we can prepare your tooth, take an impression, and fabricate your restoration, all within a single appointment.
Traditional dental crowns typically require multiple appointments for multiple procedures. The data we capture with our intraoral wand is wirelessly transferred to our computer system. We then use CAD/CAM software to design your crown “chairside” as you watch in real-time. Next, this information is sent to our milling unit, which transforms a single block of porcelain into your aesthetically-pleasing restoration.
Laser Dentistry
A soft tissue laser simultaneously cauterizes and cuts an incision in the tissue. For this reason, laser treatment may reduce bleeding, discomfort, and swelling both during and after your procedure. We may use a soft tissue laser to treat periodontal disease by removing the infected lining of the gum tissue. This allows for the regeneration of healthy tissue around the teeth. Soft tissue lasers are also effective for gum contouring and crown lengthening if you want to improve the aesthetics of your smile.
