This post from The Sugar House Dentist in Salt Lake City describes how behind-the-scenes dental technology helps us serve our patients.
CAD/CAM
CAD (computer-aided design) and CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) are used for many restorative services. These include same-day inlays/onlays and crowns.
Dentists who offer dental implants can use CAD/CAM technology in every phase of the dental implant procedure.
CAD/CAM is also used in dental laboratories to construct crowns, bridges, implants, veneers, and ceramic braces.
Digital Imaging
Most Utah dental offices use digital X-rays. Realtime digital images help dentists more easily make diagnosis. Dentists can enlarge and otherwise improve a digital image to get a clearer picture of what’s going on.
Digital X-rays emit up to 70% less radiation. Plus, they are easier to store and access. Because they don’t require film or processing chemicals, they are more eco-friendly than conventional X-rays.
Lasers
Pinpoint-precise Diode lasers are used in dental services including crown lengthening, root scaling, biopsies, root canals, teeth whitening, oral lesion removal, and treatment of tooth decay.
Laser procedures often limit the need for anesthesia. They cause less bleeding because the laser generates blood clotting. Lasers help sterilize the treatment area, minimizing the risk of an infection.
