At Tosh Dental Group, we embrace technology to give you an excellent dental care experience. With dental technology, we can find potential problems before they have a chance to become even bigger problems. We know that when it comes to dental care, prevention can be the best cure of all.
Our Dental Technology
Here are some of the dental technologies that we use:
- X-rays | Dental X-rays are used in routine office visits to check the health of the teeth, gums, and jaw. Quite often, the beginning of a cavity is first detected in an X-ray image, which is why X-rays are such an important part of regular dental checkups.
- AI (Artificial Intelligence) | The future of dentistry is here. We make use of cutting-edge second opinion software to make sure we do as conservative a treatment as possible. Come in today for a second opinion using AI!
- Oral Cancer Screening | At Tosh Dental Group we will use technology to be sure your oral cancer scan is thorough. Our screenings help us prevent cancer and detect it early. If we catch cancer earlier, it is much easier to treat.
- CariVU | The CariVU is also known as a caries detection device. Caries are tiny fractures that form on the teeth. The CariVU is used to find caries, cracks, and other defects in the teeth that could lead to tooth decay and gum disease.
- 3D Cone-Beam Scanner | Also known as cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), the 3D scanner uses less radiation than regular medical CT scans, and it provides a nice three-dimensional image of the mouth.
- Soft Tissue Laser | Our dental laser can be used for several procedures. A couple of benefits of this technology are that it eliminates the need for anesthesia, reduces the need for sutures (stitches), and minimizes the risk of bacterial infection because the laser sterilizes as it cuts.
Our technology also helps you feel more comfortable when you come in for an appointment. Newer technology means less invasive treatments and exams. By investing in cool gadgets and tools, we are also investing in a more relaxed treatment.
Lasers at the Dentist?
One of our favorite tools is our soft tissue laser. These are used in treating gums and removing impacted teeth. They are incredibly precise, which means the laser incisions are very low pain.
Soft tissue lasers work by emitting a very high-energy light. We direct this light at your gums during a procedure. It looks pretty cool, and because it is so high-energy, it prevents bleeding and lessens the pain of most dental procedures.
We are excited to offer such amazing technology at our office. You might even feel like you’re in a space movie!
Our Cone Beam Scanner
While this is not quite as cool as an ice cream cone, our cone beam scanner allows us to get a 3D image of your mouth. With this image, we can see any dental concerns, such as misaligned teeth or decay.
We do not do these scans every time you come in, but they are very helpful for orthodontic and cosmetic work. We will use them when we need additional information about your oral health that an X-ray can’t give us.
When we take the scan of your teeth, we will show you exactly what your smile looks like and what it could look like.
AI Dentistry
Our AI programs check our work before we make any final decisions. Essentially, we have second-opinion experts right on hand, which means you no longer have to go get a second opinion from another dentist. Unfortunately, they do not talk to us like robots in movies, but they do help us give you and your family members the best smile possible.
