Advanced Dental Technology Burbank
Artistry and Innovation Combine to Create Exceptional Smiles
Dental technology looks vastly different today as opposed to 20 or 30 years ago. When compared to hundreds or thousands of years ago, there are very few parallels. Fortunately, the technologies and equipment used today allow for a more conservative approach with minimally invasive procedures and improved accuracy. If you would like to discover more about the technologies we use in the dental office, review the information below.
CT/Cone Beam Scanner
Our cone beam CT scanner is an advanced imaging device that can create a detailed, 3D model of your facial anatomy by taking hundreds of high-resolution images and piecing them together. The process may sound like it would take a long time, but in total, it only takes about 30 seconds. You’ll rest your chin on a platform while the scanner rotates around your head. It’s quick, simple, and allows our team to plan each of your treatments down to the very last detail.
Digital Impressions
Putty impressions got the job done, but they often led to an uncomfortable experience for our patients, commonly causing gagging and discomfort. With our advanced digital impression system, we’re able to not only capture higher quality impressions, but it’s also a significantly more comfortable process for our patients. The impression can be taken within a minute or so using a camera located on the tip of a wand-like device. Because the file is digitally stored, we’re able to send it off to a dental laboratory immediately, reducing wait times for restorations and oral appliances.
Intraoral Cameras
To make each of your routine checkups as thorough as possible, we use our intraoral camera. This handheld, pen-like device scans the mouth to generate images within seconds, projecting them onto a chairside monitor. Should your dentist in Burbank identify any problem areas, our team can easily show you on the screen, explaining the reason for treatment and educating you on some steps you could take to prevent this issue from arising in the future.
Soft Tissue Laser Dentistry
Instead of relying on traditional scalpels and sutures, our soft tissue laser creates a more comfortable and precise experience for our patients. Our dental lasers are used for a multitude of reasons, including cavity treatment, whitening teeth, gum recontouring, and crown lengthening.
Air Abrasion Technology
For quick, painless, drill-less dentistry, our team uses air abrasion technology. This stream of air and aluminum oxide particles allows us to easily remove small areas of decay without the need for a local anesthetic.
