Advantages of Advanced Dental Technology
February 5, 2018
Dental technology has come a long way in the past few years and it’s now possible to spend less time in the dental chair while receiving highly advanced care. Dr. Brand Ahn is a skilled periodontist in Larkspur, CA, who takes great pride in utilizing cutting-edge technology in his practice. Whether you’re receiving a gum graft or dental implants from Dr. Ahn, you’ll be treated to leading edge technology and procedures.
Treatment Options
Dr. Ahn and the rest of the team here at Marin Periodontics Dental Group use many different types of dental technology to improve treatments and achieve the best possible patient outcomes. Three of the most notable types are:
- Intraoral cameras
- WAND anesthesia
- Guided implant surgery
Intraoral cameras help improve diagnosis and make it easier for Dr. Ahn to develop detailed treatment plans. They provide very clear images of the various oral structures and can be helpful for accurately diagnosing a variety of oral problems.
The Wand® Anesthesia is a syringe-free, computer-assisted system that allows Dr. Ahn to administer targeted anesthesia with minimal discomfort. If the thought of being pricked by a needle makes you nervous, you may respond well to The Wand®. It’s gentle, safe and less intimidating than traditional anesthetic needles.
Guided implant surgery is a technique that uses advanced 3D imaging technology to help Dr. Ahn precisely place dental implants. Guided implant surgery with SIMPLANT technology can handle all the initial scanning, treatment planning and implant placement tasks.
Each of these advanced types of technology make it easier for Dr. Ahn to perform various treatments with a greater degree of accuracy. They also minimize damage to tissue surrounding the treatment site, so you’re less likely to have unpleasant side effects like excessive bleeding and swelling after treatment.
