Essenmacher Dental Office Technology
The Latest Dental Technology in Albuquerque, NM
Over the years, dental technology has evolved, making the patient experience more quick and comfortable. At Essenmacher Family Dental, patient care and comfort are a top priority. Our team stays up to date with continued education, and we implement new dental technologies to enhance your results and save you time.DentalVibe
The cutting-edge DentalVibe device dramatically reduces discomfort and anxiety during dental treatment. It works by sending vibrations through the cheeks and lips. The vibrations distract from any pain or sensations that might cause discomfort—this is ideal for anyone who experiences a great deal of dental anxiety or has tooth sensitivity.Intra-Oral Camera
A dentist and patient both benefit from using an intra-oral camera. This small, pen-like camera is inserted into the oral cavity to capture images and give the dentist a clear view of the inside of your teeth. Intra-oral cameras allow your dentist to look at problem areas, which can help them diagnose issues like periodontal disease more accurately. In addition, your dentist can use this technology to show you what is happening in your mouths to understand their dental conditions better. A patient’s understanding of their oral health can help them take a more active role in their dental health decisions.Digital X-rays
Digital X-rays are a more advanced version of traditional x-rays that a dental technician may use to detect potential issues like gum disease or oral cancer. Still, they provide better quality images that make it easier for a dental professional to identify problems. Digital X-rays also use less radiation, making them safer for everyone involved.Soft Tissue Laser
In the past, dentists had only two options for treating dental problems: surgery or numbing agents. However, these methods are problematic because they can be time-consuming and uncomfortable for the patient. Now, dentists can use a soft tissue laser instead! This new technology uses light energy from a low-powered laser to heat damaged areas in teeth without harming surrounding healthy tissues. Focusing only on the treatment site allows us to treat various dental problems quickly and comfortably, with little to no recovery time.Mercury-Free Dentistry
For many years, mercury was used in dental fillings. However, it is now known that mercury is a toxic substance and can be harmful to both patients and dentists. There has been a growing trend towards mercury-free dentistry in recent years. Mercury-free dentists use different materials to fill teeth, such as porcelain or composite resin. There are several benefits to mercury-free dentistry:- It is safer for both patients and dentists.
- It is more environmentally friendly, as mercury can be harmful to the environment.
- Finally, it is more affordable in the long run, as mercury-free dental materials often last longer than mercury-based materials.
