Not all dental offices are the same. The quality of the care you receive depends on whether or not your dentist has been diligent in keeping up with the latest advancements in dental technology and techniques. Dr. Hafeez and Dr. Ayazi are always updating themselves on the most recent changes in dentistry so that they can provide the highest quality care possible for patients. Before you schedule an appointment, take the time to learn the difference that the advanced dental technology we use at our San Marcos dental office can make.
Advanced Dental Technology San Marcos
How Technology Makes Our Dentistry Better
- Improved Communication with Intraoral Cameras
- Quicker, More Comfortable Dental Laser Treatments
- Early Cavity Detection Using Infrared Light Technology
Intraoral Camera
We can describe your oral health issues to you, but seeing the problem for yourself is always ideal. Intraoral cameras give us a way to closely examine your teeth and take high-quality pictures that can be displayed on a monitor; that way, we can identify the problems more easily and point them out to you, ensuring that you understand why certain treatments might be necessary. Our dental office uses Einstein Lumica cameras, which are extremely lightweight and easy to use.
Digital Dental X-Rays
Our Dexis digital X-ray technology is quite the upgrade from traditional film radiography. No longer do we have to rely on X-rays that emit a high amount of radiation or dark rooms filled with toxic development chemicals. The images taken by Dexis are consistently high quality and require up to 90% less radiation — making it a much safer and reliable option.
Soft Tissue Laser Dentistry
Diode laser therapy has quite a few dental applications, and each one provides a painless, anxiety-free alternative to traditional treatments that use metal dental instruments. Lasers can eliminate harmful oral bacteria, reshape your gum line, and remove an over-restrictive frenulum. If you’re nervous about undergoing a certain procedure, talk to our team to see if laser dentistry could make your experience a more pleasant one.
Digital Impressions
Putty dental impressions are a technique of the past. For a more comfortable and precise patient experience, our team utilizes our state-of-the-art Trios 6 digital scanner to capture 3D, photorealistic impressions that we can immediately send to our dental laboratory or 3D printer. Thanks to this technology, your appointments just got shorter and there’s less room for error while crafting your restorations and oral appliances!
Digital Cavity Detection
Our Trios 6 oral scanner utilizes infrared technology to detect even the earliest signs of dental decay. It allows us to treat the small symptoms before they have a chance to progress, which could lead to dental sensitivity and even tooth loss. With proactive interventions and early treatment, we’re able to provide minimally invasive solutions to keeping your oral health on the right track, such as fluoride treatment and tooth-colored fillings.
3D Printer
Our Sprintray 3D printers allow us to make each of your visits more streamlined, so you will spend less time in the treatment chair. With them, we’re able to custom-craft oral appliances, mock-ups, and other types of resources in-office. This eliminates the middleman of a dental laboratory and makes sure that your dental implant guides or oral appliances will never leave sight of our skilled team.
