Advanced Technology
The Advanced Technology used in our office ensures more "Exact Diagnostic and Treatment Excellence."
AdvanScan: We are the only office in the area that offers AdvanScan to dental patients. It is so highly effective for diagnostics that many Dentists in the area refer patients for this detailed and advanced 3-D technology.
If you are having Implant Surgery / TMD / or Orthodontics treatment, you should be asking for AdvanScan technology before you begin treatment!
What are the advantages for you?
- No more going to the hospital for Cat Scans!
- No more long waits . . . AdvanScan is done privately in our office!
- AdvanScan is completed in 30 seconds. No longer do you need to put your whole body into the machine, just gently slide your head/neck area only. AdvanScan then provides surgical navigation images. The procedure is safer for you with more in-depth treatment planning.
- Many insurance companies cover this Scan into their service plans.
Surgical Navigation: Surgical navigation allows pre-treatment planning to be downloaded into our surgical computer system. By this method, the implant placement drill cannot enter an invalid site or place the implant below the planned levels. This innovation has been a major advantage in the treatment of patients.
Laser Dentistry: Yes . . . it IS all you have heard!!! This exciting technology was purchased by Dr. Miller 10 years ago. It is so popular with our patients, we now own 2 'waterlase' lasers, and a diode laser. Patient love the fact we are able to perform certain surgical procedures as well as general dentistry. No more 'whirrrr' of that dental drill that is so bothersome to so many patient.
Using the laser instead of the traditional 'dental drill', may sometimes eliminate the need for dental anesthetics. Dr. Miller has been instrumental in helping dentists to realize the benefits of laser dentistry, and in recommending they purchase one for their office.
Laser Dentistry for Surgery: Dr. Miller has devised a method to Save the Ailing and Failing Implant. This laser method is a more simple and comfortable method for the patient. It also enables an easier and gentler recovery / healing process.
Shade Vision: This is a method whereby we take a 'picture' of your teeth (which includes the area of the tooth being replaced) and this is computerized and sent directly to our lab, whereby we can duplicate the exact color of your teeth, and apply it to the one being replaced.
Root Canal Therapy: We have purchased the most advanced Root Canal Therapy system, enabling our patients to experience 'one-visit' root canal therapy with excellent success. This is also more convenient for the patient, avoiding multiple visits for care.
Surgical Microscope: Allows Dr. Miller to see up to 15x magnification, (up to 3x greater visibility than the 'eyeglass loops' commonly used) allowing for a more timely diagnosis and the ability to offer the patient a more detailed treatment plan to choose from.
Computer Generated Digital X-Rays: "CDR" - X-rays taken with the computer to dramatically reduce radiation exposure.
