Our Dental Technology
Intra-Oral Camera
Intra-oral cameras are pencil-thin, handheld devices that capture highly detailed images of a patient's teeth and gums. At Fox View Dental, we use these wireless cameras daily to educate patients about oral health issues, discuss treatment options, and document treatment progress. By showing patients exactly what we're seeing, we can help them understand the importance of good oral hygiene habits and ensure they feel confident about their treatment plans.
Multi-Wave Locked System (MLS) Lasers
MLS lasers are an advanced medical technology for pain relief and tissue repair. At Fox View Dental, we use MLS lasers to help treat conditions such as TMJ, gingivitis, and tooth sensitivity. These lasers emit two different wavelengths of light, which work together to reduce inflammation, stimulate healing, and improve blood flow to the affected area.
MLS lasers are a safe, effective alternative to traditional treatments for many dental conditions. They’re non-invasive, painless, and require no downtime. Patients typically experience immediate relief from pain and discomfort, and many see significant improvement in their condition after just a few sessions. Overall, MLS lasers are an excellent tool that we’re proud to offer at Fox View Dental to help our patients achieve optimal oral health.
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) Scanner
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scanners are advanced imaging technology that allows us to create 3D images of a patient's teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures. At Fox View Dental, we use CBCT scanners to provide more detailed and accurate diagnoses for our patients. These scanners work by taking multiple X-ray images from different angles, which are combined to create a 3D model.
Using CBCT scanners, we can more effectively diagnose and plan treatment for a range of dental issues, such as impacted teeth, jaw abnormalities, and complex root canal procedures. CBCT scans are quick, painless, and provide a more comprehensive view of the patient's anatomy than traditional X-rays. This technology allows us to provide our patients with the best care and treatment options at Fox View Dental.
Tekscan
Tekscan is a type of advanced technology we use at Fox View Dental to help diagnose and treat issues related to a patient's bite and jaw function. This technology works by measuring the pressure distribution and force exerted during a patient's bite using a thin, flexible sensor. By analyzing this data, we can identify high-pressure areas and adjust the patient's bite to alleviate pain and discomfort. Tekscan technology is non-invasive, painless, and provides immediate feedback. It’s an effective tool for diagnosing issues like jaw misalignment, teeth grinding, and bite problems.
Joint Vibration Technology
Joint vibration therapy is a non-invasive treatment option employed at Fox View Dental to help relieve pain and discomfort associated with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. This therapy uses a small, handheld device that emits a gentle vibration to the affected joint. This vibration stimulates blood flow and encourages healing, which can help reduce inflammation and pain.
Joint vibration therapy is a safe and effective treatment option for many patients with TMJ disorders. It’s non-invasive, painless, and requires no downtime. Patients often experience immediate relief from pain and discomfort, and many see significant improvement in their condition after just a few sessions.
Frequently Asked Questions
While CBCT scanners aren’t specifically designed to detect oral cancer, they can help identify abnormalities that may indicate the presence of cancerous or pre-cancerous lesions. In some cases, CBCT scans may detect suspicious lesions or abnormalities that require further evaluation through biopsy or other diagnostic tests. However, it’s important to note that the diagnosis of oral cancer requires a comprehensive evaluation by a dental professional, including a thorough oral exam and any necessary diagnostic tests.
Unlike traditional impression materials that can be messy and uncomfortable for patients, digital scanners use a small wand-like device to capture precise images of the patient's oral structures.
One of the key advantages of digital scanners is their accuracy. By creating a detailed 3D model of the patient's teeth and gums, digital scanners eliminate many errors and inaccuracies that can occur with traditional impression materials. Digital scanners can also capture greater detail, allowing dental professionals to identify areas of concern and develop a more personalized treatment plan.
One of the key advantages of digital technology is that it allows for a more efficient and streamlined treatment process. This tech not only saves time but also improves the accuracy and fit of dental restorations, such as crowns and bridges.
In addition, digital technology enables dental professionals to better educate their patients about their oral health. With tools such as intraoral cameras and digital X-rays, patients can see detailed images of their teeth and gums, making it easier to understand their dental conditions and treatment options.
Yes, dental technology can help with the early detection and prevention of cavities, one of the most common dental issues. One tool that is widely used for this purpose is the digital X-ray, which allows dental professionals to see detailed images of the teeth and detect cavities in their early stages before they become more severe and require more extensive treatment.
In addition to digital X-rays, other dental technologies can help with cavity prevention. For example, intraoral cameras can capture high-resolution images of the teeth, making it easier for dental professionals to identify early signs of cavities and other dental issues. Some dental practices also use laser technology to detect early-stage cavities, which allows for more precise and targeted treatment.
