The Henderson Dentist

Technology

We are proud to offer modern dental technology and techniques to our patients so you can enjoy the most comfortable, efficient, and effective dentistry possible;

Feel free to read on to learn more about the technology we use in our practice.

Platlet Rich Fibrin (PRF)

PRF is made by drawing a small amount of blood and spinning it in a centrifuge.  There are no blood additives or chemicals. Only extracts from the patients blood drawn just before the surgical procedures. Platelets contain a high concentration of essential growth factors that stimulate cell migration and proliferation, which support wound healing. PRF treatment can be used in a variety of procedures including extractions, implants and bone grafting to promote faster healing and better outcomes. 

Digital X-Rays

Modern digital dental x-rays benefit patients in a number of ways: 

  • Digital x-rays expose patients to considerably less radiation than conventional film x-rays. 
  • Digital x-rays require almost no time for development, reducing time spent waiting in the dental chair. 
  • Digital x-rays allow for incredibly precise and accurate images for timely diagnoses. 
  • Digital x-rays are securely stored in your digital file and can be securely sent to your insurance company or specialists, when necessary. 

Because no chemicals are needed for development and no space is needed for film storage, digital x-rays are better for the environment. 

3-D Dental Imaging

3-D dental imaging is an exciting new dental technology that allows your dentist to get a full view inside your mouth, allowing for better diagnosis and treatment of dental issues. With 3-D imaging, your dentist will use a 3-D imaging machine to create a 3-D rendering of the inside of your mouth. This is superior to traditional 2-D x-rays because it offers your dentist a look at your entire mouth in 3-D, providing more vivid detail and a variety of perspectives. 

Your dentist will be able to zoom in on areas, rotate the view, and enjoy a variety of angles, which makes for a much more in-depth imaging experience. Creating the 3-D image is simple and easy, taking only a few minutes.

Intraoral Camera

What if you could see exactly what your dentist sees? You'd probably find it simpler to make informed decisions about your oral health! 

Intraoral cameras allow you to do precisely that. Using a small digital camera embedded in a wand, the dentist can move it around your mouth and transmit the images instantly to a chairside monitor. This allows you to clearly see everything the dentist describes, including damage to the teeth and signs that might indicate periodontal disease. 

Laser Dentistry

Dental lasers allow us to provide incredibly precise treatment with greater comfort, faster healing times, and less risk of bleeding than conventional surgical procedures. Lasers are particularly effective in the treatment of gum disease because they are able to target the damaged and diseased tissue while preserving healthy gum tissue. Lasers also effectively target bacteria, helping to eliminate the infection.

iTero Scanner

With iTero scanners, we no longer need to take goopy impressions of your teeth in order to create customized appliances or aligners. We can perform a quick scan and then send your scans directly to the dental laboratory. Advanced iTero scanners also allow dentists to identify dental issues, track the progress of treatments, and more. This fantastic new technology makes your dental experiences faster, more comfortable, and more convenient. 

Panoramic X-Ray

Individual x-rays are beneficial for identifying decay, infection, and many other dental conditions. Having a full-picture view is often helpful, and that’s where panoramic x-rays come in handy. Panoramic x-rays take a full-picture view of the teeth, bone, jaw joints, and other biological landmarks. These types of x-rays are helpful in planning oral surgeries, such as extractions and dental implant placement, as well as identifying tumors, cysts, and jaw joint problems.

 

Digital Records

In today’s modern, digital culture, we are used to having information at the tips of our fingers. Your dental records are no different. Digital records allow us to compare your oral health from one visit to the next, and everything stays safe under encrypted lock and key.
