21st Century Dentistry
The 21st Century has brought dentistry
to a new and exciting place. Today, new techniques and materials
can reduce or eliminate discomfort both during and after dental care.
But it takes great skill to use the technology of the 21st century,
and Doctors Sweeney and Cohen are well practiced in these new and
exciting procedures.
Laser
The Waterlase is a powerful tool that allows many dental procedures
to be performed without the use of drills and needles. Combining
the power of laser energy with atomized water, the Waterlase can
remove hard and soft tissue quickly, effectively, and usually painlessly.
The Waterlase eliminates the heat and vibration that make drilling
painful, while offering greater precision and accuracy. The Waterlase
can be used to:
- Remove decay
- Prepare cavities
- Design smiles
- Perform soft tissue procedures
- Remove enamel
- Remove diseased gum tissue
- Avoid the use of needles, drills, and anesthesia
Intraoral Camera A picture is worth a thousand words -- at least in the case of diagnosing
dental problems. The intraoral camera is a revolutionary diagnostic
dental tool. A tiny camera is inserted into the patient's mouth,
taking pictures of the teeth and displaying the images on a computer
screen. Using the intraoral camera saves time and makes problems
easily visible to both patient and doctor.
The Wand
The Wand is a computer-controlled anesthetic delivery system -- it's
magic is that it makes the pain of dental visits that require local
anesthesia disappear. A handheld device, the Wand allows anesthesia
to be administered slowly and constantly, making dental procedures
relatively pain-free. Perfect for those who hate needles and are nervous
about dental procedures, the Wand uses technology to create a better
experience for patients. |
