3-D Cone Beam X-ray Unit

Traditional dental x-rays are 2-dimensional. While they are useful in diagnosing common dental issues such as tooth decay or periodontal disease, they are limited in terms of detail and accuracy. Our cone beam unit can capture a high-definition 3-D representation of your teeth, jawbone, and surrounding structures such as the mandibular nerves and the maxillary sinuses. The final x-ray is obtained through a series of radiographic pictures that are stitched together, resulting in an anatomically-accurate image.

The final diagnostic image can be manipulated and viewed from any perspective, which allows our dentist to plan treatments with unmatched precision. This is particularly useful in dental implant placement. Because the cone beam unit can provide exact measurements, the height and width of the bone can be assessed to determine what size implant will be the most beneficial. Additionally, by evaluating the jawbone density, our dentist can determine which location will yield the most successful long-term results.

Conventional 2-D dental x-rays often take several minutes to complete. Our 3-D cone beam unit can perform an entire scan in less than one minute. It also emits 90 percent less radiation than traditional x-ray machines, making it a safer and more efficient option for our patients.

iTero® Scanner for Digital Impressions

Traditionally, dental impressions required a mouthful of messy dental material, which often led to significant discomfort and gagging. For this reason, many patients still dread dental impressions – and understandably so.

Our ground-breaking iTero® intraoral scanner eliminates the mess and the anxiety of conventional impressions. Using a small handheld wand, several images are taken of your teeth and uploaded directly to our computer screen in a matter of minutes. The iTero® is versatile in its use, and can aid in the fabrication of custom mouth guards, Invisalign® trays, and restorations, such as inlays, onlays, crowns, and bridges.

Laser Gum Therapy in Chandler

Gum disease can be addressed by laser treatments

In our office, we employ different types of gum disease treatment, depending of the severity of the case. Traditional periodontal treatments in Chandler can range from a debridement for gingivitis to scaling and root planing, also known as deep cleaning. Combined with a strict home care routine and more frequent cleanings, scaling and root planing will increase the chances of preserving your natural smile. For serious cases, our dentist may recommend treatment with a periodontal laser. An alternative to traditional surgery, this laser can remove scar tissue in periodontal pockets, kill bacteria, and promote reattachment of gum tissue to the bone. Usually, patients experience less discomfort and faster healing with laser therapy.
