These days it seems like technology pervades every aspect of\nour lives. Even though technology probably isn\u2019t the first thing you imagine\nwhen you think of the dentist, it\u2019s still very important in helping your\ndentist in Greenfield do their job. Let\u2019s take a closer look at 4 technologies<\/a> that\nyour dentist uses to help make treatment better for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Digital X-Rays<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No longer do x-rays take forever to capture and develop.\nModern digital x-rays can be taken instantly and then displayed on a computer\nmonitor so you can see exactly what your dentist sees. These images also create\nmore precise and high-definition photos in order to better craft a treatment\nplan. For example, if you chip a tooth, your emergency dentist in Greenfield can\nuse a digital x-ray to determine the exact location and extent of the injury to\nfigure out how to fix it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Intraoral Cameras<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Has your dentist ever explained what\u2019s going on in your\nmouth, but you just can\u2019t picture what they\u2019re saying? Now that problem is\nsolved with intraoral cameras. Using a small pen-shaped tool connected to a\nchairside monitor, your dentist can capture images of your mouth in real time\nand show you what your mouth looks like from their perspective. This can help\nshow rather than tell what problems such as cavities look like. It can also\nhelp your cosmetic dentist in Greenfield work with you to create a plan to\nimprove the appearance of your pearly whites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Digital Impression System <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bite impressions used to be created by having you bite into\na gooey putty. Nowadays, they can be made using digital impression technology.\nImpressions can be used to craft everything from cosmetic solutions like\nporcelain veneers to orthodontic treatment to crowns and bridges. Traditional\nbite impressions had to be sent to a lab and your dentist had to wait until\nthey returned. Digital files can be instantly transferred, making your\ntreatment that much faster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Soft Tissue Laser<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As scary as a laser might sound, the modern soft tissue\nlaser is actually completely painless. This is because \u201claser\u201d is actually an\nacronym for Light Amplification by Stimulation Emission of Radiation.\u201d In other\nwords, a laser is just high-intensity light. Our dentist can use the laser to\nremove infected, damaged, or excess soft tissue in the mouth, all completely\npain-free. It can also be used to remove plaque, bacteria, or tartar or to\ndecontaminate gum tissue after gum disease treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
