From teeth cleanings to fillings, dental crowns, and other dental restoration services, technology plays an important role in dentistry. If you are currently searching for a new dental team to supervise your dental health and foster a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums, I encourage you to consider how the aspect of technology can make a big difference in the type of care you receive.
Benefits of Technology
At my state-of-the-art dental practice in Boulder, Colorado, our entire team is committed to the continual integration of new techniques, equipment, and treatments that will not only enhance the patient experience but also create a safer environment with optimal results. My staff members and I regularly attend continuing education sessions and new technology seminars in order to investigate recent advancements and decide which ones will benefit our practice and our patients. In many cases, the adoption of advanced technology is often more cost-effective for our patients, as well.
Examples of Technology
Laser dentistry is one of the most significant additions to our practice, and the dental industry in general. The use of high-tech soft-tissue lasers has led to quicker treatment times, faster healing, reduced discomfort, and more thorough final results. We currently have lasers in use for the purpose of cavity detection, plaque and tartar removal, bacterial reduction, gum tissue reshaping, benign tumor elimination, teeth whitening, and cold sore removal.
Invisalign® braces, the Pure Power Mouthguard, and state-of-the-art neuromuscular jaw tracking are just a few additional examples of technological innovations that have improved the environment here at our practice. An especially useful tool is the K7 Evaluation System, which helps us diagnose a wide variety of jaw joint problems. The K7 System utilizes electromyography, a testing procedure that measures the electrical activity of the jaw muscles, and a kinesograph to measure, record, and analyze the songography of the jaw joint, or the abnormal sound patterns.
As a member of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, you can trust that we have the safest technology for proper mercury filling removal.
Today we can do so much more for our patients than ever before, and I’m proud of the ever-expanding realm of services we are able to provide thanks to breakthrough research.
