Traditional hand-pieces or drills can be noisy and uncomfortable. Our office uses electric hand-pieces for restorative dental procedures. Electric handpieces offer less vibration and noise but more precision. This tool is used for dental crowns and veneers to prepare the tooth enamel for treatment.
Dr. Salari uses digital imaging to closely examine the tooth roots and nerves as well as find areas of damage or infection. Our digital x-rays offer accurate diagnoses and less radiation than traditional x-rays. Digital imaging also allows us to store patient images and send them to specialists or insurance companies.
Dental lasers use light and heat to target the tooth enamel, areas of decay, infected gum tissue, and whitening agents. Laser dentistry can be used for tooth and soft tissue related procedures without the need for local anesthesia. Dental lasers make procedures comfortable and do not require needles or drills.
An intraoral camera is a small camera that allows us to view clear, precise images of your mouth, teeth, and gums. Using these clear images, we are better able to diagnose dental problems. Intraoral cameras can also be saved for your dental records and shared when we refer you for specialty care. We also use these small cameras to help educate patients about their oral health and the best ways to prevent oral health problems.
The Ray Medical CBCT system allows Dr. Salari to diagnose problems in the teeth and jaw. This imaging creates accurate, three-dimensional (3D) images of the teeth, gums, and nerves. With CBCT scans, Dr. Salari can diagnose TMJ problems and find the best areas for inserting dental implants.
