Our office has incorporated the Galileos 3D Imaging system that combines the highest resolution, 3-dimensional scans of the dental structures with the absolute best in patient safety. The technology behind the Galileos has had a long history in the medical community. However, unlike a medical CT scan, Galileos offers unparalleled imaging without the high dose of radiation common in conventional scans.
The best thing about Galileos 3D, however, is that it contains an integrated face scanner. This means we can show you, using your own face and bone structure, what you will look like after treatment. You can see for yourself how recommended dental procedures will result in a beautiful new you! Remove “best guess” dentistry and make informed, confident decisions about your care.
The Laser Scanner Finds Ultrasmall Cavities Years Earlier
Have you ever had a dentist find a cavity and
place a large filling, and wondered why the filling is so large if
the cavity wasn't there just six months before? The cavity was there
six months before — it just wasn't big enough to show on X-rays, and
it wasn't visible to the dentist yet. The Laser Scanner can find
cavities years earlier, when the small cavity can be removed and
repaired with a small invisible bonded filling. Sometimes patients
complain of tooth sensitivity, or mild to severe pain, yet X-rays
and examination cannot pinpoint the source. Patients are often given
sensitivity toothpaste to deal with the problem. However, sometimes,
dentists have to perform root canals to get the pain or sensitivity
to stop, when the actual source turned out to be undetectable decay.
The laser scanner can detect previously undetected decay and, once
identified, allow us to remove the discomfort and leave you with a
healthy smile. See How Your New Smile Will Look Before Any Treatment!
Cosmetic imaging allows us to show you what can be done with your
teeth and smile before you even start treatment. Computer images of
your teeth and gums can be shaped, replaced, added or lightened,
resulting in your new smile. It is exciting to actually see your
treatment goal. Intra-Oral Camera Makes You a Part of the Team
The doctor works hand-in-hand with patients to create a bond of
teamwork. One of the ways he brings this about is through the use of
a high-tech tool, the intra-oral camera. This amazing device is a
miniature video camera that displays a closeup picture of the inside
of your mouth. You can see for yourself what work needs to be done
and which teeth are doing fine. You then become a participant in
each dental decision. You’ll love how this works!75% Reduction in Radiation
Introducing Panoramic Digital Imaging, available at our practice.
With this technology, a single X-ray is taken of your entire mouth,
including all the teeth and the upper and lower jaws, with a digital
sensor. This is downloaded into our computer for immediate viewing.
You get an enhanced, easy-to-see image with 75% less radiation
exposure than conventional X-rays. No more waiting for images to
develop and no more chemical waste to pollute the environment. Oral Cancer - Are You at Risk?
