Digital Dentistry: How Tech Savvy is Your Dentist?

October 24, 2014

Technology is changing the way we receive dental care. If you still see a dentist that uses a black-and-white film x-ray to diagnose your dental treatment, then you probably don’t have a tech savvy dentist. Intraoral Digital Radiography and Digital Imaging have replaced the black and white x-rays of yesterday. Not only does digital dentistry make your dental visit faster and more efficient, it dramatically reduces radiation exposure. With the crystal clear images produced by this new technology you are empowered to make more informed treatment decisions. Your dentist is able to see things easier and clearer allowing them to make better decisions for your care as well. Giamberardino Dental Care is a tech savvy dental practice.

Digital Dentistry: Schick 33
The new Schick 33 digital radiography system has revolutionized the dental industry. The Schick 33 intraoral digital sensor provides unprecedented clarity and detail which helps your dentist in the diagnoses and treatment of cavities, gum disease and other oral health problems. This new digital dentistry tool features amazing diagnostic quality images that can be customized to fit your individual diagnostic needs like general, endodontic, restorative or periodontics. The dentist can use the image enhancer to manipulate image sharpness for a comprehensive oral examination.

Digital Dentistry: CEREC Crowns

Digital dentistry isn’t just for diagnosing your care; it can also make restorative treatment faster and more efficient. If you have ever had a tooth crowned in the past, you know that the process took two visits. Back then your dentist had to take a mold impression of your teeth, send it to a lab to be fabricated, and then it was placed at a second visit. Today, with the CEREC Crown system, your dentist can craft your custom crown right in the office during your visit. A digital impression of your tooth is taken, which the dentist uses to design, mold and place your new crown, in a fraction of the time it used to take.

If you are over forty, you probably make it a point to see your doctor regularly for breast or prostate cancer screenings. Yet most people don’t make a point to see their dentist for regular dental checkups. This oversight can be a costly mistake to your good health. Oral cancer screenings are just as important as other cancer screenings and are a routine part of a regular dental examination. Often, there is no pain associated with oral cancer development, therefore it can progress without detection if you avoid seeing the dentist. The good news is that oral cancer can be effectively treated if it is caught early enough. Don’t let a fear of dental care keep you from getting the oral cancer screening you need. Make an appointment with Dr. Giamberardino today. Dr. Giamberardino and his team proudly serve patients in Medford, MA, Winchester, Somerville, Malden, Everett, and surrounding communities.

You use any tobacco or alcohol products.
You have an HPV Infection (infection with the sexually transmitted human papillomavirus has been linked to 80% of oral cancer cases)
You are over the age of 40.
You enjoy a lot of sun exposure (cancer of the lips can be caused by sun exposure)
You have a poor diet (diets low in nutrients may play a role in oral cancer development)

Oral Cancer Symptoms:
