Should I Be Concerned About X-Ray Radiation?
No, because the days of traditional film X-rays are over here at our practice. Instead, Dr. Lloyd has chosen to invest in Schick digital X-ray technology, which transforms this essential process in several positive ways.
For instance, darkrooms and long development times are no longer necessary – the highly detailed images of your smile are captured by our high-tech camera and available on our computer system for viewing within seconds. They can even be color-coded to improve patient education! The files can be transferred easily and stored digitally – no more bulky storage systems that aren’t good for the environment. Best of all, the amount of radiation you’re exposed to is dramatically reduced by up to 80% for a much safer experience.
Will Paste Be Used to Make Models of My Smile?
We’re all familiar with this age-old process: some dental impression material will be placed in your mouth for you to hold in place to create an impression. This impression is then used to create dental crowns, dentures, or other restorative solutions – that is, if an accurate model was created. Thankfully, patients will find a revolutionary alternative here in Daytona Beach.
With the power of CEREC, it’s easier than ever to create a highly detailed digital model of a patient’s smile with no physical materials required! All it takes is a few simple scans, and our high-tech software constructs a three-dimensional representation of your unique teeth.
What is a Cone Beam (CT) Scanner?
We’re all familiar with this age-old process: some dental impression material will be placed in your mouth for you to hold in place to create an impression. This impression is then used to create dental crowns, dentures, or other restorative solutions – that is, if an accurate model was created. Thankfully, patients will find a revolutionary alternative here in Daytona Beach.
A CT scanner is a device that’s able to create a highly detailed 3D map of a patient’s dental anatomy using multiple images pieced together. It spins around the patient and shows us both rows of teeth, the jawbone, and even the location of small facial nerves (so we know to avoid them!).
All of this information allows us to plan a wide variety of procedures (including complicated ones like dental implant placement) with extreme detail to guarantee a smooth and successful experience. It can also allow us to form a solid baseline of a patient’s oral health at their first visit.
