STATE-OF-THE-ART PROCEDURES
Advancing Care
As in all health care fields, technology is having an impact on dentistry. We are seeing an influx of new and improved technology that can help us become more effective and efficient here at Hendersonville Premier Dentistry. Here’s a look at our latest in dental technology.
Digital Radiography
Digital Radiography is a form of x-ray imaging where digital x-ray sensors are used instead of traditional photographic film. Advantages include less radiation exposure and time efficiency.
Digital Photography
We take a series of photographs using a high quality DSLR camera on all our patients. This helps assist us in precise diagnosis as well as helps to educate you about your oral condition and “see” what we see. These high quality photographs also help us communicate with the dental lab about shade selection for veneers and crowns.
Color Match Spectrophotometer
The Vita Easyshade shade matching system is a computerized spectrophotometer that easily replicates tooth shades for color matching. This allows for careful color matching in cosmetic applications. We can quickly determine the tooth shade and color zones to make our restorations exquisitely and look truly lifelike!
DIAGNOdent
It is always important to detect and treat cavities as soon as possible. The DIAGNOdent is a revolutionary way to detect and find cavities using a non-invasive laser. Using the DIAGNOdent in addition to traditional instruments and treatments, we can more effectively identify the presence of a cavity and properly treat the tooth.
