Many dental technologies can be used to improve dental health and treatment outcomes. The modern technology our implant dentist San Rafael, CA uses during dental treatments allows us to provide better diagnoses, more precise treatment plans, and better results, as well as improve patient comfort. The technologies we use at Aparna Subramanian Dental Office include digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, laser dentistry, 3D scanners, and more. 

Dental Technology at Aparna Subramanian Dental Office 

• Lasers are now used for a variety of dental procedures, including gum reshaping, tooth decay treatment, and more. Laser treatments are quick, effective, and cause minimal pain during or after the procedure. 
• Digital imaging allows our dentist to capture images of your mouth digitally instead of using X-ray film. These images are then displayed on a screen in the dental office so you and our dentist can view them together. Digital imaging allows the dentist to diagnose problems more efficiently than ever before. 
• Intraoral cameras display live images of the inside of your mouth on a monitor so that you can see what the dentist is looking at. This will help you better understand your dental health and the steps needed to improve it. 
• Computer-aided design and manufacturing of crowns and other restorations have become increasingly popular due to their ability to create more accurate restorations in less time. CAD/CAM technology uses computer software to design and then mill out the perfect crown or other restoration from a solid block of material. CAD/CAM also eliminates the need for taking messy impressions. 
• Cone beam CT scanners take 3D images of the mouth. This allows for more accurate and effective diagnosis and treatment planning than standard X-rays. 

The Benefits of Dental Technology 

Better Precision

Thanks to modern technology, our dental team can plan your treatment more precisely than ever. They can take a 3D scan of your mouth that lets them see your teeth from any angle. This allows them to pinpoint the problem area accurately and create the best treatment plan possible. It also helps them determine the exact size for your new restoration to ensure the fit is just right. With advanced tools, our dentists can make your smile look better than ever in a fraction of the time it would take using older technology. 

Improved Patient Comfort

Dental technology has made many aspects of dental care more comfortable for our patients. For example, traditional X-rays require film and chemicals to develop the image and require the patient to wait while the image is being processed. Digital X-rays offer immediate results that are instantly available for viewing on a screen in the operatory. Additionally, digital X-rays expose patients to less radiation than traditional ones.
