Making Life Easier with Advanced Dental Technology at Alpha Dental Excellence.
First-time patients often remark that they’ve never encountered a dental practice as “high-tech” as ours. At Alpha Dental Excellence, we utilize the latest advancements to provide top-tier care and the best possible clinical experience for our patients.
Our cutting-edge technology ensures precise implant placement, shorter procedure times, reduced post-procedure discomfort, and exceptional aesthetic results. For instance, let’s take a closer look at some of the technological components that enable Alpha Dental Excellence to offer unparalleled tooth replacement options, whether for a single tooth, multiple teeth, or a full set.
Sirona Cone Beam CT Scanner
Think of this as an advanced X-ray machine. The Cone Beam scanner takes only a few seconds to scan the head (painlessly and harmlessly), providing us with virtually unlimited views of the face, teeth, and surrounding structures in 3D and full color. This detailed imagery allows us to examine the teeth, bones, and even nerves, ensuring more comprehensive treatment planning. The computer-generated scan gives us all the precise information needed to plan your treatment thoroughly, eliminating any surprises during the process.
Dexis Digital Intraoral X-ray
Digital radiography is essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment, allowing us to detect even the most subtle details. Our Dexis Digital X-ray system combines advanced hardware and software to produce exceptionally clear and detailed images. The system automatically adjusts for radiation variances, preventing under- or over-exposure, which means we can capture usable images across a broader range of settings. This reduces the need for retakes, minimizing both your exposure to radiation and the number of X-rays needed.
Cerec Omnicam & lt
Think of this as an advanced X-ray machine. The Cone Beam scanner takes only a few seconds to scan the head (painlessly and harmlessly), providing us with virtually unlimited views of the face, teeth, and surrounding structures in 3D and full color. This detailed imagery allows us to examine the teeth, bones, and even nerves, ensuring more comprehensive treatment planning. The computer-generated scan gives us all the precise information needed to plan your treatment thoroughly, eliminating any surprises during the process.
SIROLaser
Instead of using a scalpel for procedures that require an incision, such as tissue retraction for impressions or implant recovery, we utilize a hand-held laser. This laser offers greater precision, creates cleaner incisions, and promotes faster healing, enhancing both the effectiveness and comfort of the procedure.
GuidedSMILE Dental Implant Planning
The proprietary GuidedSMILE system enables us to plan the entire implant procedure in advance, before even using the first instrument. By utilizing the detailed data from the 3D cone beam scan, we can map out the surgery with precision, eliminating guesswork and significantly improving the predictability and safety of the procedure.
GuidedSMILE Surgical Implant Guides
During the dental implant records appointment, the information gathered is transformed into a physical surgical guide. This guide, resembling a chrome overlay similar to a plastic mouthguard, contains precise holes that indicate the exact locations for implant placement. These holes control the depth and angle of the drill used during the procedure, ensuring the accurate placement of each implant for every patient.
Periotest Implant Testing Tool
This technology is used to assess implant stability after placement. It is electromagnetically driven and electronically controlled, offering a more advanced approach than the traditional “impact hammer” method typically used to measure the stability of natural teeth.
High Quality Dental Implants
We use top-quality dental implants to guarantee the best possible results. Our implants are sourced from trusted American manufacturers, Implant Direct and Hiossen. Crafted from titanium, these implants are incredibly strong and highly biocompatible, minimizing the risk of rejection. With a success rate of over 98%, dental implants remain the most reliable tooth replacement option available.
At Alpha Dental Excellence, we welcome you just as you are. No matter your smile’s current state, we’re here to support you on your journey to better dental health. After assessing your needs, we’ll craft a personalized plan to give you the confident, radiant smile you deserve
