- Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Foster collaboration among dental specialists in complex cases, ensuring coordination between dentists, orthodontists, periodontists, and other experts for optimal results in smile makeovers.
Impression-Free Dentistry
Digital dental impressions, also known as intraoral scanning, redefine the dental experience with a host of benefits over traditional methods. This advanced technology not only prioritizes patient comfort by eliminating the discomfort associated with traditional molds but also ensures an accurate and streamlined process. The precision of capturing highly detailed 3D images translates into perfectly-fitting restorations, significantly reducing or even eliminating the need for subsequent adjustments and remakes. In addition to enhancing efficiency by minimizing chair time, intraoral scanning provides immediate feedback. Our team can assess the scan quality in real-time on a computer screen, ensuring accuracy before the patient leaves the office.
Embracing digital storage, these impressions eliminate the physical clutter associated with traditional models, allowing easy access to patient records and facilitating seamless data sharing with labs or specialists. This secure digital sharing not only simplifies communication within the treatment team but also reduces the likelihood of errors in dental restoration fabrication. Moreover, the environmentally friendly aspect of digital impressions contributes to a more sustainable and eco-conscious dental practice. Beyond the clinical advantages, the integration of digital impressions into the overall workflow, coupled with CAD/CAM technology, enables faster fabrication, reducing turnaround times and enhancing the efficiency of the entire process.
Morphodynamics: Real-time jaw motion registration
We are the only private dental practice in the Northeast that is utilizing a game-changing innovation in restorative dentistry. Using ModJaw®, we introduced a new way of entering our patients’ reality using true jaw motion and dynamic occlusion (bite). We are able to build the complete dataset and overcome dental treatment challenges by adding the actual patient’s jaw morphodynamics. In contrast to the conventional approach that utilizes arbitrary values that are not personalized, our technology combines real patient static and dynamic parameters and takes them into account to enable complete diagnostics and custom restorations. Whether you are experiencing joint issues, in need of orthodontic therapy or will undergo a complex rehabilitation on teeth or on implants, our in-house registration of the real jaw morphodynamics guarantees the highest level of customization of your treatment.
Professional Dental Photography Studio
We have integrated a high-end dental photography studio into our office, recognizing the paramount advantages it brings to patient care. In contrast to many traditional dental offices, leveraging high-quality dental photography enhances our diagnostic capabilities and treatment planning. Precise and detailed images enable us to identify even minor issues, track changes over time, and strategize treatments with unparalleled accuracy.
Patient education is empowered through visual aids, with high-quality images facilitating more effective explanations of oral conditions. This approach not only enhances patient understanding but also empowers individuals to make informed decisions about their oral health journey. Furthermore, the detailed photographic records created serve as invaluable documentation. These records not only support before-and-after comparisons but also play a crucial role in monitoring the progression of dental treatment.
In addition, our commitment to effective team communication is fortified through high-quality dental photographs. In cases where colleagues need to consult or refer a patient, these images offer a clear and detailed representation of the patient's condition. This seamless communication and collaboration among the treatment team ensure that referring colleagues can stay informed about treatment progress.
Dental Design Software
Our practice harnesses the power of cutting-edge CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing) software to meticulously design and communicate all your treatment needs before fabrication. This includes the design of surgical guides, seamlessly executed with our in-house CAD/CAM software, followed by precise 3D printing.
The utilization of various dental design software in our office yields a multitude of benefits. From customization of dental prosthetics to ensure well-fitting and natural-looking restorations, to the enhanced accuracy provided by advanced algorithms and 3D modeling, our approach reduces the likelihood of adjustments after placement, saving valuable time for both our dentists and patients. Additionally, the software streamlines treatment planning, facilitating visualization and discussion of treatment options with patients for informed decision-making about their oral health. The efficiency gained in the design and production process translates to faster treatment turnaround times and heightened patient satisfaction. Improved communication within our treatment team, enhanced patient engagement through digital representations, and the ability for remote collaboration with designers and laboratories further contribute to the seamless integration of dental design software into our practice. This digital approach not only ensures secure data storage and backup but also minimizes material waste compared to traditional methods, aligning with our commitment to delivering advanced, eco-conscious dental care.
High-precision 3D printing
Our dental office seamlessly integrates cutting-edge 3D printing technology, delivering a myriad of unparalleled benefits throughout the dental treatment process. This transformative technology allows for highly personalized dental solutions, crafting custom-fitted prosthetics, veneers, crowns, bridges, dentures, night guards and orthodontic appliances tailored precisely to each patient's unique oral anatomy. The precision achieved through 3D printing significantly reduces the chances of errors and eliminates the need for manual adjustments, ensuring a final product that fits comfortably and functions effectively, whether it be a crown, bridge, or surgical guide.
The efficiency of 3D printing extends to time savings, with many dental restorations produced within a matter of hours or days, as opposed to the weeks often required for traditional prosthetic fabrication. Moreover, this technology embraces environmentally conscious practices by generating minimal waste compared to traditional manufacturing methods, utilizing only the necessary amount of material. Patients experience shorter wait times, more comfortable treatment, and highly accurate results, contributing to elevated satisfaction and an enhanced overall experience. The seamless integration of 3D printing into digital dental workflows, along with its ability to address complex geometries and produce provisional restorations with precision, further establishes it as a cornerstone in providing advanced and patient-centric dental care.
