Are digital X-rays safe?+
Yes. Digital X-rays are completely safe and emit even less radiation than standard dental X-rays, with as much as 90 percent less exposure. They are also more comfortable than biting down on hard film, and the clear, color-enhanced images appear immediately so you can see what the team sees.
What is the iTero Element scanner?+
The iTero Element intraoral scanner creates a detailed 3D visual of your teeth in about 2½ minutes, with less tendency toward gagging. Dr. Haywood can also use it to create a simulation of what your results may look like before your procedure.
What is an intraoral camera?+
An intraoral camera lets the team zoom in and take a closer look at each section of your mouth, spotting issues that would otherwise be hidden. It helps you clearly understand the state of your oral health so your treatment options make sense.
What is DIAGNOdent?+
DIAGNOdent is a high-tech laser pen that can detect even small amounts of decay at the earliest stages, sometimes before it can be seen on an X-ray. It can reveal mild problems before any discomfort develops, so there are fewer surprise cavities.
What is a Green CT scan?+
A Green CT scanner creates high-quality, accurate images that aid diagnosis while emitting a much lower dose of radiation than less eco-friendly scanners, so your safety and overall well-being stay front and center.
What are oral DNA tests?+
Oral DNA tests are a series of accurate assessments that help diagnose, treat and prevent periodontal disease and other dental issues. They identify individual health factors that could be affecting your oral health, so treatment can be more personalized.
What is air abrasion?+
Air abrasion uses a thin, steady stream of air and silica to gently remove small amounts of decay while preserving more of your natural tooth. It is quick and quiet, with no heat, pressure or vibration, and more areas can be treated in a single visit, which helps if you feel anxious.
What does the Picasso laser do?+
The Picasso laser lets the practice perform soft tissue and periodontal procedures with greater precision, accuracy, power and comfort. Laser technology makes periodontal therapies less invasive and more comfortable, and the Picasso laser can also be used for laser whitening.
