NEW TECHNOLOGY
Computer Imaging
We believe in the power of visuals! It always generates excitement
with our cosmetic patients when we show them exactly how their new
smile will look. At Sophisticated Smiles we take a digital photo
of your teeth and smile. Then we digitally transform it on screen,
using a special software program to show you how you will look after
your cosmetic dental treatment. As you see your smile 'before' and
'after', you can give us feedback, ask questions we will create
the right image that will make you look your best. Throughout the
process, we'll only show you results that we can realistically achieve
at our Johnson City dental practice.
Intra-0ral Camera
We use an intraoral camera during our new patient examinations
to help with early detection. This process allows both Dr. Cameron
and the patient an opportunity to see potential problems that may
occur in your mouth before you feel them. We also use this camera
as an application to record all aspects of dental aesthetics, as
an aid to discussion and for treatment planning so that you are
informed and confident.
With modern technology early treatment can maximize the life of
your natural teeth and prevent costly future oral health problems.
Our intra-oral camera is about the size of a pen, so it fits easily
into your mouth. Once positioned, it sends pictures to a monitor,
where your teeth and gums appear in a full-color, usually as a very
large image. These images can also be printed out for your treatment
file.
We also use the following state-of-the-art dental equipment to
provide premier and painless dentistry!
Air polishing – This is
a wonderful way to polish your teeth gently and comfortably.
Ultrasonic cleaning –
This modern method of cleaning use sound waves to clean your teeth
and is very effective.
