For a variety of procedures, including cosmetic, dental implants, Invisalign®, and others, you will need to have an impression made of your teeth to ensure the most accurate and precise results.
The digital impression system which utilizes a computer scanner to create a model and concise map of your teeth. The entire process takes minutes to complete, is completely painless, and reduces your time in the dentist’s chair.
Intraoral cameras make it possible to take very clear images inside your mouth and magnify them several times for viewing on a computer monitor. Cavities, cracks lines on your teeth, receding gums, and many other conditions can typically be clearly seen on the intraoral camera’s high-resolution images. The pictures obtained by intraoral cameras can help you to better comprehend what may be going on with your dental health, allowing you to better communicate with Dr. Puerto about your needs.
With digital X-ray and 3D imaging, Dr. Puerto can provide safer, more accurate dental treatment while helping you to obtain a clearer picture of what is going on with your teeth and bone. Digital X-ray technology reduces your radiation exposure by up to 90% when compared with traditional X-rays – that is less than the amount of radiation you can get from simple sun exposure. At the same time, digital imaging reduces the overall processing time of your X-rays and cuts the use of chemicals, having a positive impact on the environment. All of these advantages work to give our dental team a more precise view of any problem areas and come up with a customized treatment plan for your needs.
Nitrous Oxide is a sweet-smelling, non-irritating, colorless gas that you can breathe. It has been the primary means of sedation in dentistry for many years. Nitrous oxide is safe, due to the fact that the patient receives 50-70% oxygen with no less than 30% nitrous oxide.
The patient can breathe on their own and remain in control of all bodily functions. The patient may experience mild amnesia and may fall asleep, not remembering all of what happened during their appointment.
