When to See Our Team
As we mentioned above, our team uses oral surgery to take on more advanced and complex oral health concerns, the kind that your general dentist and orthodontist alone cannot handle. Our team has experience in handling these concerns, and we often work alongside your general dentist and orthodontist as needed. Our doctors know how to rebuild a smile following trauma, and can also take on wisdom teeth, impacted teeth, ja imbalance, and more. In fact, our doctors often work with the Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital Trauma Team. But to ensure optimal results for our patients, we will plan and guide the process with the latest in digital imaging technology.
Digital X-Rays
X-rays are always essential for obtaining a close look at tooth roots, jawbone structure, and key oral structures. Instead of relying on traditional x-rays, we use a digital option that provides panoramic images of your bite, and uses 90% less radiation. You will put your chin on a special rest, and a machine will circle your head to obtain these clear panoramic images. We don’t need to develop these in harsh chemicals either, they will be available instantly chairside, so we can walk you through the diagnosis and you spend less time in the chair.
CBCT Imaging
Our team also employs Cone Beam Computed Tomography, or CBCT imaging. With this option, we can obtain clear and detailed 3D images of your bite from multiple angles quickly and comfortably. There is limited radiation as part of the process, and the images will be incredibly detailed. With these, we can plan oral surgery in detail. For example, we can assess the strength of your jawbone and choose the best angles to insert dental implants, or find out if you need grafting or sinus lift beforehand. We can ensure we avoid blood vessels, nerve tissues, and sinus cavities during your surgery, and also identify the position of wisdom teeth and impacted teeth.
