Intra-oral imaging gives you a detailed view of your mouth. Words come to life when you can see what we see.
Visually transferring specific conditions in your mouth to a computer screen brings clarity simply not possible with a traditional mouth mirror. Specialized hand-held wands quickly capture the details of your teeth and gums. In fact, even small cracks that often lead to broken teeth appear vividly, just with the click of a button.
As an added benefit, dental insurance benefits frequently pay easier with the visual proof of a captured image in our records.
Digital sensors capture detailed x-ray images with a fraction of the traditional exposure.
Technological advancements in x-ray technology provide multiple benefits, from safety to improved treatment outcomes.
We're excited to offer the most advanced imaging process in dentistry: ConeBeam CT scanning, or 3D imaging. This technology allows us to create virtually unlimited views of your teeth, face, and neck with just one scan. We're able to obtain high-quality, detailed information to diagnose and plan your treatment needs. We can evaluate your teeth and facial structures from literally every angle, in 3D, and in color! Routine x-rays, on the other hand, produce a single flat image with limited information.
The ConeBeam CT imaging system is a digital x-ray scanner that rotates once around your head while you stand or simply sit in a chair. The process is quick, simple, and completely painless. The scans produced are as precise as conventional CT (CAT) scans, but use far less radiation. The applications in dentistry are limitless. We use these scans to provide the best treatment in dental implants, root canals, diagnosis of dental and facial pain, etc.
Regardless of your needs, 3D imaging makes it possible to plan and customize your care unlike never before. You can have absolute confidence and satisfaction in the treatment you receive, knowing we've analyzed every problem with 3D technology.
Laser technology continues to transform many procedures in healthcare. Once the subject of sci-fi movies, lasers now clearly provide benefits for mainstream treatment in medicine and dentistry. Shorter procedures, less discomfort, and rapid healing comprise just a few of the benefits offered by modern lasers.
The soft tissues of the mouth cover about 30 square inches of surface area, and sometimes require treatment. Annoying lumps or bumps may need removal with unusual patches of tissues submitted for further microscopic analysis. Traditionally, a surgical procedure involving incisions and sutures would be required to produce an acceptable remedy for these situations. Today, a pen-shaped wand allows Dr. Duy Nguyen to remove gently suspicious or bothersome bumps within a couple of minutes. The healing stimulated by laser energy leads to rapid resolution and little to no discomfort, without the need for stitches.
Similarly, gums can be quickly reshaped without bleeding for ultimate appearance and health, and some gum infections treated with rapid resolution afterwards. Even cold sores or mouth ulcers can undergo faster healing when laser energy passes over the surface. Better yet, the days of pain associated with these recurring ulcers can be dramatically decreased immediately. Lasers may also be used with children to help growth and development issues or help wisdom teeth move into place.
A soft tissue laser offers a valuable benefit to many commonly treated conditions in the mouth. Dr. Duy Nguyen's specific training in laser protocols opens up numerous possibilities using one of modern dentistry's most versatile tools.
Comfortable dental numbing with less anxiety
We're fortunate to live on the right side of healthcare history. We enjoy the benefits of wide-ranging advancements and the promise of new breakthroughs every day. As a result, dentistry continues to offer innovative solutions for comfortable, safe treatment.
For 150 years, dental anesthetic has helped deliver dental care. But most dentists still use the same type of syringe that's been available for decades. But what if technology could make dental anesthetic easier and pain-free? The Wand provides a significant advancement that makes getting numb unlike any other method available today.
The wand looks like a pen and fits Dr. Duy Nguyen's hand much the same way. A microprocessor determines exactly how much anesthetic to administer, which it does at just the right speed. Most of the discomfort associated with shots result from the rate of flow pushing into the gum tissue. By measuring the resistance in the tissue and adjusting the flow, small drops of numbing liquid trickle into the area around your tooth. We're even able to numb just one tooth, leaving normal sensation in your face, tongue, and lips!
We look forward to introducing you to the best experience in dentistry. The magic of The Wand sets the tone for exceptional care at Pacific Manor Dental!
