With digital technology, we can conduct a detailed exam and diagnosis of your smile. Whether you need treatment for gum disease or tooth replacement with dental implants, we can ensure treatment with precision using these advanced imaging systems. In today’s blog, your Brooklyn, NY, periodontist and implant expert looks at digital x-rays and CT scanning, and how we offer optimal planning and treatment with these systems!
When to See Our Team
As part of our periodontic services, we can help you enjoy both treatments to manage periodontal disease, and to replace missing teeth. When you have sore, red gums that bleed easily or that have started to recede, then you need to see our team for treatment. Otherwise, periodontal disease will grow in severity and eventually lead to issues like tooth loss. But we have an array of treatments to manage it, such as dental lasers, or to heal the damage to underlying bone structure, such as Platelet Rich Plasma. If you have missing teeth, then we secure lifelike and long-lasting dental implants, so you enjoy a full smile again and avoid the complications of tooth loss, such as an aged appearance. But to ensure these treatments are conducted with precision and accuracy, we plan them in detail with digital imaging technology.
CT Scanning Technology
With CT scanning, we will take clear and detailed images of the jawbone and oral structures, as well as the tooth roots and other structures beneath the gums. We can look for bone defects or damage to the jaw, and plan the placement of dental implants to avoid contact with nerve tissues or sinus cavities, and to ensure they can remain in place and support new teeth.
Digital X-Rays
Digital x-rays are also a key component of treatment planning, and the system uses 90% less radiation, and doesn’t require you to bite down on uncomfortable bite wings. The images are available instantly chairside, so we can walk you through the diagnosis and you don’t have to spend time waiting for them to develop.
The Intraoral Scanner
When we need to obtain a 3D model of your teeth to design prosthetics and restorations, we will use the 3Shape TRIOS intraoral scanner instead of physical molds and gooey materials. We can plan treatment and design the restoration or prosthetic that completes your dental implants with better precision! If you have any questions, contact our team today to learn more.
