Dentistry with a High Degree of Precision
As a patient of Drs, Mariscal, Munoz, and their dental staff, you can be confident that the newest dental technology will be used to provide you with the best dental treatment possible.
Using computerized intraoral scanners, we can provide better treatment to our patients.
It's a kind of micro-surgery at the dental office. We can produce dental restorations that are exceptionally accurate in terms of fit and quality because of digital technology. That kind of attention can't be achieved by looking at it with the naked eye.
"Dentists often use Hand-pieces" (the dental name for "drills"). These "whiney sounding" air-powered hand pieces all have a degree of non-concentricity; they do not spin smooth. Despite this, they are appropriate for many operations.
We employ electronic hand-pieces for the most accurate components of dental operations. This leads to exact interactions between your new restoration and your tooth (crown, veneer, or filling). You'll feel better as a result. Noise and vibration are reduced by using a finer-toothed toolset.
Digital Photography
Radiographs obtained by Drs. Mariscal and Munoz are carefully selected. We adhere to several rules and regulations. Radiographs enable us to view details that are otherwise invisible to the naked eye. These images allow us to discover cavities between your teeth, measure bone density, and assess the health of your bone. The roots and nerves of teeth and diseases such as cysts or tumors may also be examined and diagnosed.
Dental radiographs' diagnostic, therapeutic, and preventative value cannot be overstated. Dental radiographs have a brief exposure period. We use state-of-the-art Digital Imaging Technologies in our practice. Compared to conventional radiography, digital imaging requires just a fraction of the exposure time. We may also benefit from digital photography in the form of diagnostic information. Cavities could be easier to see now.
Digital imaging enables us to save patient pictures and send them to experts or insurance companies quickly and conveniently.
X-Rays That May Be Seen on a Computer
Digital X-rays are more precise since the images are shown on a computer screen rather than on a 35mm film. Digital X-rays expose you to just one-sixth of the radiation of traditional X-rays.
Dentistry Using Lasers
Those afraid of needles, drilling, or feeling numb may benefit from Laser Dentistry.
One of the most recent developments in dentistry is laser dentistry. The laser emits light as a means of delivering energy. This energy may travel at various wavelengths and be absorbed by a "target" depending on the desired outcome. Depending on dentistry, they might be things like tooth enamel, tooth decay, gum tissue, or teeth whitening agents. Each one absorbs and reflects light at various wavelengths. Dental and soft tissue operations may be performed using laser dentistry, making it a versatile tool. Local anesthetic isn't always necessary, however. Unlike the traditional dental drill, laser dentistry does not produce heat or vibration, making the treatment far more pleasant for most patients. It removes the necessity for suturing in soft tissue (surgical) treatments, and the healing time is drastically reduced.
Detecting cavities may be done with the use of lasers. They can detect early signs of decay in teeth. The damage may be reversed via proper oral hygiene and fluoride therapy and never need a filling in some situations.
Dentists use lasers in a variety of ways:
- Diagnosis and treatment of cavities
- The process of hardening or curing adhesives
- Teeth whitening
- Dental, or gum care, is required.
- Procedures for children
- Treatment for an aphthous ulcer (canker sore)
- A frenectomy is performed without an anesthetic or sutures to free the tongue from its shackles.
- Root canals and apicoectomies are among the most common dental procedures.
- Gingivectomy, crown lengthening, and other gum procedures
- Both toddlers and adults may be treated safely and effectively using dental lasers.
In-Oral Camera
Many patients, particularly those in their twenties and thirties, are accustomed to and at ease in a high-tech office. They rely heavily on computers and television displays for information processing.
Using intraoral cameras, Drs. Mariscal or Munoz can explain your diagnosis further. A few millimeters in length is not uncommon for an Intraoral Camera. We use an Intraoral Camera to get clear, exact pictures of your mouth, teeth, and gums to provide an accurate diagnosis. Using a magnified mirror allows you to see things that a regular mirror can't. As a result, you may benefit from a quicker diagnosis and less time spent in the doctor's office.
In addition, because of the availability of intraoral cameras, we can save photographs of your treatments on a computer in our office. Your lab or insurance company may also print these photographs for you or other professionals.
