Oral surgery could enable our team to transform your smile, treating trauma, providing oral pathology, and of course, replacing missing teeth. But to proceed with treatment accurately, we need to gain a clear picture of your smile, above and beneath the gums and oral structures. To accomplish this, your Santa Rosa , CA, oral surgeons employ CBCT technology!
When to Seek Treatment
Our team has experience with helping community members enjoy better oral health and stronger smiles with a variety of oral surgical treatments. For example, if you have an impacted wisdom tooth, or one or more exposed to erupt, then we could help by removing them. We could treat facial trauma and lacerations, rebuild lost jawbone structure with ridge augmentation and sinus lifts, and assess lesions or sores with oral pathology. With implant dentistry, we can also replace one or more of your missing teeth. However, the key to ensure these treatments are done comfortably and effectively is to carefully assess the state of your oral health. To do so, we need detailed digital imaging!
The iCAT Cone Beam Scanning System
We use the CBCT, or iCAT, imaging system to obtain a detailed view of your teeth, gums, oral structures, roots, and nerve tissues. We can then better plan your treatment process. The high-definition images create a detailed 3D model, which we use in lieu or traditional x-rays and physical dental impressions. The images require a fraction of the radiation, and offer us access to images in greater detail too. We then plan your treatment down the smallest detail, ensuring the results will be effective and promote better oral health and a stronger smile. We also prevent damage or complications, as we can identify nerve tissues and other sensitive portions of your jaw and oral tissues.
Moving Forward with Oral Surgery
Once we plan your treatment, we will answer any questions or concerns you may have. When you arrive, we will use IV sedation and a trained anesthesiologist will be on hand to ensure you remain calm and comfortable throughout the process. We will then monitor your smile with follow-up visits, ensuring you obtained optimal results, and will be able to smile with confidence once again! If you have any questions or concerns about this process, or if you would like to schedule a consultation, then contact our team today.
