Dental technology refers to the cutting-edge tools and equipment used in modern dentistry to improve patient care and outcomes. At Confident Smiles & Implants, we are proud to offer our patients the latest in dental technology, from 3D printers to intraoral scanners, dental milling machines, and dental cone beam CT. These advanced technologies allow us to provide more accurate diagnoses, create precise treatment plans, and deliver high-quality restorative and cosmetic dental procedures. Our commitment to dental technology is part of our dedication to ensuring our patients receive the best possible care.
A 3D printer in dentistry creates physical objects from digital designs, layer by layer. It's used to produce dental models, surgical guides, aligners, and even some prosthetics, offering high precision and customization for patient-specific solutions.
An intraoral scanner is a handheld device that captures detailed 3D images of a patient's teeth and gums. It replaces traditional dental impressions, providing more comfortable experiences for patients and highly accurate digital models for dentists to work with.
A dental milling machine is a computer-controlled device that carves dental restorations like crowns, bridges, and veneers from blocks of ceramic or other materials. It allows for same-day fabrication of high-quality, custom-fitted dental prosthetics in the dental office.
Dental Cone Beam CT is an advanced imaging technology that produces detailed 3D x-rays of teeth, soft tissues, nerve paths, and bone in a single scan. It provides comprehensive views for precise treatment planning in procedures like implant placement, orthodontics, and complex extractions.
Tooth sensitivity is a condition that develops when the dentin (the layer beneath your enamel) or cementum (the layer covering the tooth root) is exposed. This can happen when the tooth is damaged, or when your gums recess. The sensitivity usually occurs with very hot or cold, and sometimes sweet or spicy, foods and beverages.
TMJ/TMD is a condition caused by damage or inflammation to your temporomandibular joint, which connects your jaw to your skull. If you suffer from this condition, it can be painful and even affect your ability to chew and speak.
We use these advanced tools to improve every aspect of your dental care, from initial diagnosis to treatment planning and execution. Here’s how:
Using tools like the intraoral scanner and dental cone beam CT, we can capture detailed images and 3D models of your mouth. This data allows us to identify any dental issues and create a precise, personalized treatment plan.
Depending on your treatment plan, execution of treatment could involve using our 3D printer to create custom dental restorations, or our dental milling machine to craft perfect dental crowns or veneers right in our office.
Dental technology offers numerous benefits, from improved patient comfort to more accurate treatments and faster recovery times.
One of the key benefits of dental technology is enhanced accuracy. Tools like the intraoral scanner and dental cone beam CT provide highly detailed images and 3D models of your mouth, allowing for more accurate diagnoses and treatment planning. This level of precision helps ensure the success of your dental treatments.
Dental technology also increases patient comfort. Traditional dental impressions can be uncomfortable and even anxiety-inducing for some patients. With our intraoral scanner, we can take digital impressions that are quick, comfortable, and accurate.
Dental technology in Farragut can significantly reduce treatment times. Our 3D printer and dental milling machine allow us to create dental restorations right in our office, eliminating the need for multiple appointments and long waits for lab-fabricated restorations. This not only saves you time but also ensures you can enjoy your new smile sooner.
