What is Soft Tissue Laser?
The use of laser in dentistry has a long history; it is now used in many soft tissue laser procedures. Soft tissue laser, also known as Dental Diode Lasers, is a suitable option for the cutting and contouring of oral soft tissue in procedures such as a frenectomy, gingivectomy, and aphthous ulcers.
Soft tissue laser treatment is performed at varying wavelengths and intensities, making them a far superior form of surgery. It is an excellent alternative to electrosurgery since it produces little to no heat.
What is the Purpose of 3D cone beam scanning?
The process of using 3D cone beam scanning is relatively simple. First, a three-dimensional scan of your oral cavity is created through a digital scanner. The scans are then utilized to develop a blueprint-like design for the prosthesis, which is then fed to the machine that uses the design as a guide to producing the final product. By utilizing this technology, our dentist can produce superior quality crowns, bridges, veneers, and all other types of dental prostheses more effectively.
What is Digital Panoramic X ray Used for?
A digital panoramic x-ray, otherwise known as a panoramic dental x-ray, is a slight miniature version of a conventional x-ray device. There are many advantages to using panoramic x-rays, since they utilize far less ionizing radiations, and have a faster image-producing time frame.
