Digital X-rays
Reduce radiation exposure by 90%.
This amazing piece of equipment didn’t even exist just 5 years ago. The role of digital images has come to replace traditional x-ray film in dentistry.We have obtained the latest technology for the health and safety of our patients. Because of fluoridated water, tooth enamel has become more resistant to decay. This is great except it makes it very difficult to detect on traditional x-rays.Digital x-ray images provide 3-400% times more information in a much clearer and accurate format.We can see things much earlier and now can help our patients avoid unpleasant surprises. Patients also can clearly see what we see so they are excited to be a part of their treatment.These new Digital X-ray’s are dramatically quicker and more comfortable than previously possible! Which means spending less time in the office – a big plus for most of our patients.Also, since the digital image appears nearly instantly, no developing is required so no chemicals are used that get released into the environment.With the speed, accuracy and comfort of this new system, you’ll be very pleased with the results along with the 90% reduction in the already low radiation level traditionally used.
CAD/CAM Restorations
CEREC One-Visit Crowns
Dental crowns are essential treatments that can improve the appearance and health of your smile. When you need a crown, you don’t want to have to wait the four weeks necessary for a traditional crown, wearing a temporary crown in the meantime. CEREC® One-Day crowns are a state-of-the-art technology which has taken cosmetic dentistry to new heights. In the past, obtaining dental crowns used to be a multiple visit experience, but technological advancements in the field of medical dentistry have made it possible for one-day crowns such as these to be available to patients.
Panoramic X-rays
Panoramic X-rays allow us to visualize difficult to reach areas for patients including wisdom teeth or for patients with difficulty taking intra-oral x-rays. This comprehensive x-ray technique also allows Dr. Britton to view additional areas not traditionally seen in intraoral films such as the TMJ, location of both sinuses and nerve pathways. The latter two structures are key when preparing for oral surgery such as extractions and implant placement.
Patient Comforts
Just talking about dental visits will many times elicit a negative response from many people. In some cases, anxiety is associated with dental treatment. Many times, these feelings can stem from negative experiences in the past. Not only do we understand these reactions, but we work hard to change your perception of dental care. Dr. Gray will never lecture or scold you for not seeing a dentist in years, or for the condition of your mouth. You don’t have to worry about being embarrassed. Like we said, We Understand, We Care, and best of all, We Can Help.Unlike the typical, stark feel of most dental offices, we have created a soothing, peaceful atmosphere, with your comfort and privacy being our utmost concern. From our comfortable spa-like treatment rooms to our refreshment center, where drinks and snacks are provided for you.You may be surprised to feel, as many of our clients do, that a visit to the dental office can actually be enjoyable! We want you to not only love your new smile, but enjoy the process of getting there.
