Advanced Dental Technology Tewksbury
Technology That Will Serve Your Smile Well
Dental technology has come a long way in recent years, and now dentists are able to do so much more when it comes to supporting smiles—teeth can be repaired and restored more efficiently, problems can be diagnosed earlier, and the patient experience can be dramatically improved. Continue reading to learn a little more about some of the instruments, technologies, and techniques Dr. Bustillo-Gonzalez and our team will use to assist with your smile.
OralDNA Labs
Our practice uses OralDNA Labs for salivary diagnostics, allowing us to provide our patients with targeted, effective treatment that’s backed by science. When it comes to gum disease and other infections, the only way to know for sure that the treatment you’re providing will work is if we know what bacteria we’re supposed to be fighting. Salivary diagnostics provide us with that information to offer you a more cost-effective and reliable overall treatment experience.
CT/ Cone Beam Scanner
Our CT/cone beam scanner provides highly detailed 3D images of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding oral structures, allowing Dr. Bustillo-Gonzalez to plan out treatments with greater accuracy and precision. This advanced imaging technology is especially valuable for procedures like dental implants and tooth extractions, since it reveals details that traditional X-rays cannot.
Intraoral Camera
Our intraoral camera allows us to give patients a clear, detailed view of their oral health like never before! Dr. Bustillo-Gonzalez and our team can use this small, handheld device to capture high-quality images of your teeth and gums, making it easier to spot issues early and explain treatment options. By seeing what we see on a nearby screen, you can better understand your dental needs and feel more confident about your care.
Digital X-Rays
Using significantly less radiation than traditional X-rays, this technology provides clear, detailed images that are available for viewing instantly on our screens. This allows us to detect problems lurking beneath the surface much earlier, explain our findings more easily, and plan treatments with absolute precision.
Digital Impression System
Our Primescan digital impression system makes the process of creating dental restorations more comfortable and accurate than ever before. Rather than relying on traditional, messy impression materials and molds, we can use advanced scanning technology to capture a precise 3D image of your teeth in just minutes. This process is quick, easy, and highly accurate, helping us design custom crowns, bridges, and even dental implant restorations that fit perfectly and function optimally.
Soft Tissue Laser
Our Picasso soft tissue laser allows us to perform gum treatments with greater comfort, precision, and faster healing. This instrument relies on a gentle beam of focused light that can be used to treat gum disease and remove troublesome bacteria with minimal discomfort, as well as less post-op bleeding, compared to traditional methods.
