Advanced Dental Technology Simpsonville
Modernized Dentistry Made Readily Available
The comfort and efficiency of dentistry have come a long way in recent decades. Instead of dreading the uncomfortable X-rays and putty-based impressions, you can now look forward to a new kind of experience. With modernized dentistry that includes everything from soft tissue lasers to digital impressions and more, we can make appointments more comfort-focused while also ensuring greater efficiency when producing beautiful results.
Soft Tissue Laser
When targeting gummy smiles, our team at Tylan Creek Family Dentistry can use a soft tissue laser to gently remove excess tissues and create a more balanced smile. Capable of cauterizing while it cuts, our laser reduces the amount of bleeding and swelling a patient might experience while also lowering the potential for post-operative infection. It is a great tool for crown lengthening.
Digital Impressions
Dental crowns, veneers, and other restorations cannot be crafted using a simple photo of a person’s mouth. An impression must be produced so that the new creation fits correctly and comfortably. Instead of turning to messy dental putty that often induces gag reflexes in many patients, we now use a digital impression system that quickly scans the mouth and generates a 3D model that technicians can use to fabricate the requested restoration.
CT/Cone Beam Scanner
A high-quality, three-dimensional model of a person’s head and oral structures is most beneficial when preparing for an invasive form of dental treatment. With dental implants being one of the most popular, our CT/Cone Beam Scanner allows for in-depth imaging because of its 360-degree rotating arm. Snapping hundreds of photos in seconds, our team can better prepare for treatment, ensuring optimal results and better oral health.
Intraoral Camera
Dentists are no longer the only ones who can see inside the mouth during appointments. With the help of an intraoral camera, we can better educate our patients on the state of their oral health, further explaining signs of decay or disease and why certain treatment options are recommended. We’ll even discuss how to reduce the potential damage in the future – a component that makes a more powerful impact when patients can see exactly what it is our team sees.
