Dr. Forbes office uses theKaVo OP 3D CBCT system including a 3D cone beam scanner. In addition to a plethora of awards and accolades from the dental community, this 3D imaging system reduces the amount of radiation exposure to patients while still retaining highly diagnostic images.
High-resolution, complete 3D views give the doctor a more thorough analysis of bone structure and tooth orientation. More precise data helps the doctor plan with more confidence treatment for surgical placement of the implant and abutment to deliver more predictable, successful outcomes.
Dental microsurgery means that instead of using dental loupes, dentists and oral surgeons use dental operating microscopes to zoom in further and with more clarity. Dental loupes are only able to magnify the area by about 3 to 6 times, whereas dental operating microscopes can increase the size to 20 times the normal vision our eyes can see. Another positive to dental microscopes is that their zoom level is variable Dr. Forbes can change it depending on what is best suited for that particular moment.
We've taken the next step in the progression of delivering crowns and straightening teeth in the quickest, most advanced way possible. Our new Medit video scanner now eliminates the need to take impressions (molds) in most cases. This intraoral scanner literally takes a video scan of your mouth, providing highly accurate virtual impressions. The benefit is that we no longer need to put goopy stuff in our patients' mouths, often causing a gag reflex, to get these impressions. This scanner improves the patient experience while at the same time increasing the quality of the impressions we use for dental implants and crowns.
