Dentistry Technology

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Dental technology has come a long way in recent years. As a result, many dental procedures are safer, more effective, less painful, and more affordable than ever. Many procedures that are routine now were not even possible 20 years ago. Here are a few of the diagnostic and treatment technologies we have available at the Center for Aesthetic Dentistry:

 

Intraoral Camera - This small camera is embedded in a probe that we use to inspect the inside of your mouth, tooth by tooth. This provides us with a much more detailed and comprehensive look at your teeth and gums. It also allows you to see exactly what the camera sees on a video monitor.

Velscope - This hand-held device has revolutionized oral cancer detection. It emits a fluorescent light that can detect underlying gum tissue changes that are not visible with natural light and the naked eye.

TENS Unit - The Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator is an indispensable tool for the diagnosis and treatment of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD). This device relaxes your muscles, allowing Dr. Firouzi to measure the extent of malocclusion in TMD patients. The TENS is also helpful in treating TMD-related muscle and joint pain.

CT Scan - Dr. Firouzi uses CT imaging for many purposes, from determining optimal placement of dental implants to mapping malocclusion in TMD patients.

Dexis Digital X-rays - This digital X-ray system produces highly detailed X-ray images while emitting a fraction of the radiation of traditional X-ray imaging technology.

Digital camera - Our top-of-the-line digital camera and imaging software has multiple uses around our office. It is particularly useful in cosmetic dentistry applications.

 

A modern dentist’s office should be well-stocked with the latest dental technology. The Center for Aesthetic Dentistry prides itself on having the best technology available to treat all of your dental problems.
