We offer oral surgery to address issues like tooth loss, facial trauma, imbalanced jaws, and more. Tio plan and implement these treatments with precision and accuracy, our team can use dental technology. In today’s blog, your Santa Rosa, CA, oral and maxillofacial surgeons talk about digital x-rays and other dental technologies we use to conduct treatment and ensure optimal results.
Examples of Common Oral Surgical Procedures
Our team could conduct oral surgery to replace missing teeth with dental implants, extract wisdom teeth, correct facial injuries, and conduct jaw surgery too. We can help restore your smile and take on issues too severe for a general dentist or orthodontist, while working alongside them to ensure treatment continues once we complete the oral surgery portion.
Digital X-Rays and CBCT Imaging
With digital x-rays, we use 90% less radiation than traditional x-rays. You also don’t have to bite down on uncomfortable bitewings. Instead, you put your chin in a special rest and a machine will circle your head. This captures detailed and high-definition panoramic images of your bite, which are transferred immediately to a chairside monitor, no need to wait for them to develop in harsh chemicals.
Our team can also obtain clear 3D images of your face and bite with cone-beam computed tomography, also known as CBCT. Our team can obtain images in seconds and plan treatment to avoid contact with blood vessels, nerve tissues, and sinus cavities. We can also evaluate the strength of your jaw to choose the best places to insert dental implants, or to plan grafting or sinus lift procedures. We can also plan wisdom tooth extraction too! We can also transfer any of these images to a specialist or your general dentist or orthodontist as needed.
Digital Surgical Guides
Our team also offers advanced and clear digital surgical guides. These can help us guide dental implants into the exact positions, depths, and angles needed to support a new tooth. We can use the guide to secure several posts to support a full set of fixed dentures too! The guide ensures optimal results when it comes to replacing missing teeth with dental implants.
If you have any questions about the dental technology we use to plan and guide your oral surgeries, so you can smile with confidence again, then contact our team today to learn more. We look forward to hearing from you and helping you enjoy optimal oral health, bite function, and smile beauty once again.
