We want to offer a way to a better smile that is comfortable and positive, which is why we incorporate advanced technology and options like sedation. Even if you have special needs and anxiety, we want to offer a cozy experience. In today’s blog, Delightful Dental Care talks about helping smiles with comfort and advanced technology. Our team can provide care with precision and accuracy, from your initial diagnosis to creating custom restorations and appliances!

Comfort with Sedation Dentistry

One major way we ensure a treatment experience is a comfortable one is with sedation dentistry. We can choose an option based on your age, weight, medical history, anxiety levels and any medications you are currently taking. We also take special needs into account., With nitrous oxide, we have a mild option that wears off quickly and is safe for kids and adults alike. For a deeper state of calm, we can offer oral conscious sedation or even IV sedation, choosing the best option for you so that you can enjoy a positive experience in our office, even if you are undergoing more extensive treatments.

Digital Imaging

To plan and guide treatment, we will use advanced digital imaging technology. These systems can even help us design, craft, and place custom restorations and prosthetics in one visit!

• Digital X-Rays

If you need an x-ray, we offer a digital option that uses 90% less radiation and provides detailed images instantly chairside, less time in the chair and no need to wait for a lengthy development period. We can easily transmit the images to specialists as needed, and the digital aspect means a more accurate diagnosis too.

• Intraoral Cameras

To look at the surfaces of your teeth and gums, watching for issues like tooth decay, gum disease, TMJ disorder, and bruxism (teeth grinding), we can use an intraoral camera. This allows us to gather detailed images quickly and comfortably, and to make a diagnosis with precision.

• iTero

 If we need to create a crown, oral appliance, or a dental prosthetic, then we can use iTero. With a tiny digital camera at the end of a thin wand, we can take images of your bite from multiple angles quickly and conveniently, creating an impression far more detailed than a traditional one, and more comfortable too.

• CBCT Imaging

 If we need to take a panoramic image of your entire smile, then we could use the cone-beam computed tomography approach. With digital imaging, we gather detailed images of your entire smile, so we can make a diagnosis with precision and plan care in detail, including oral surgeries like tooth extraction and dental implant placement.

Sleep Apnea Appliances

If you suffer from sleep apnea, then we could offer help with a custom oral appliance. Using the Cirona 3D imaging system, we can take incredibly detailed digital x-rays of your bite and use them to create a 3D model of your smile. With this model, we can design and craft a custom sleep apnea, one that is worn while you rest. While this looks and fits like a simple mouthguard, once in place it helps shift your jaw and ensure soft tissues do not collapse while you sleep and block airflow. You breathe without difficulty and wake up feeling rested and refreshed. No need for a CPAP machine at all!

Soft Tissue Lasers  

Our team can also help address soft tissues concerns with an advanced laser system. The technology allows us to target and treat these concerns with precision and comfort, often with little to no anesthesia needed. The lasers can help us remove diseased tissues and destroy bacteria to better manage gum disease. We can also help conduct cosmetic gum contouring to reshape the gums and offer an attractive smile. Since we don’t need scalpels or sutures, these treated areas heal after and you can return to your normal routine in a shorter time frame!

If you have any questions about how we ensure a comfortable treatment experience and care with precision using advanced technology, then contact our team today to learn more. We look forward to seeing you and offering you a more attractive smile and better oral health and bite function too.
