Advanced Technology
Precision Dentistry
When you seek care at our office, you are assured that Dr. Beers and his staff utilize the latest in dental technology.
Our practice uses CAD/CAM technology with our CEREC unit to create one-day crowns.
When we make crowns on back teeth, we use intraoral pictures along with dental software that designs, mills and fires crowns; this allows us to seat the crowns on the very same day, rather than having patients back for another appointment.
We have lasers! Our diode laser allows us to move, shape, and control soft tissue.
Lasers are an effective, safe, and precise way to change soft tissue compared to older methods.
Areas of dental care that benefit from laser technology:
- Pediatric procedures
- Apthous Ulcer treatment (canker sore)
- Frenectomy (tongue-tie release)
- Crown lengthening, gingivectomy, and other gum corrections
We make CT-guided surgicial splints for implants.
When precision is needed for placement of a man-made root(implant), we use lab-made guides to place the implant. The planning of the implant location is done before the appointment.
Don’t like the look of metal braces? Try clear aligners instead.
We offer all kinds of orthodontics. Metal brackets are an excellent choice for some patients. For those that choose clear aligners, we use Invisalign™ to move teeth.
Digital Imaging
Dr. Beers chooses carefully which and when radiographs are taken. Radiographs allow us to see everything we cannot see with our own eyes. Radiographs enable us to detect cavities in between teeth, determine bone levels, and analyze bone health. We also use these images to examine the roots and nerves of teeth, diagnose lesions such as cysts or tumors, and assess damage when trauma occurs. Exposure time for digital radiographs is extremely minimal. We use all digital imaging technologies within the office.
Intraoral Camera
Many patients, especially younger patients, are very familiar with the latest technology and are comfortable with the high tech practice. Computers and screens are their primary method of information processing.
Dr. Beers employs intraoral camera technology that enhances your understanding of the diagnosis. An intraoral camera is a very small camera that allows our practice to view clear images of your mouth, teeth and gums. With clear, defined, enlarged images, you see details that may be missed by standard mirror examinations. This can mean faster diagnosis with less chair-time for you! Intraoral cameras also enable our practice to save your images in our office computer to provide a permanent record of treatments. These images can be printed for you, other specialists, dental labs, or insurance companies.
