The Trios 4 is a wireless handheld wand that utilizes optical technology to to quickly create an accurate 3D model of the teeth and gums. This data is paired with 3D CT technology to assist with planning and execution of state-of-the-art oral reconstruction.

Osseodensification

Osseodensification

Densah Burs Versah are a dental implant placement technology that advantages a technique and concept called "osseodensification." Densah Burs are specialized instruments that compact, rather than remove, bone. This approach is valuable where minimal bone volume may need to be preserved and expanded. Reverse non-cutting Densah burs are chosen to create a dense compact layer of bone tissue that is pushed outwardly and formed along the walls and margins of the osteotomy. Osseodensification is a novel minimally invasive surgical concept that enhances our alveolar ridge expansion and internal sinus lift procedures by utilizing state-of-the-art non-subtractive drilling technology.

Nexus iOS

Nexus iOS is a complete and true digital full-arch dental reconstruction solution. Nexus iOS was developed by expert engineering and digital dentistry specialists to create a first-of-its-kind treatment option.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Technology

How do advances in technology improve the patient experience?

We offer an advanced technology experience for the benefit of our patients. Technology makes procedures more comfortable, shortens procedure times, and accelerates recovery. It also improves diagnostic accuracy, allowing us to provide you with the best possible care.

How does INFUSE® Bone Graft improve bone grafting results?

The purpose of bone grafting is to stimulate regeneration of lost bone tissue. INFUSE® Bone Graft contains recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2), a manufactured version of a protein that occurs naturally in human bones. When applied to the site of a bone graft, it accelerates bone growth and repair.

How does Cone Beam technology work?

A Cone Beam Scanner uses a cone-shaped beam of radiation to collect a 3-dimensional image of the mouth, face, and head. The resulting image is extremely detailed, providing improved diagnostic accuracy.

How does Cone Beam Scanning improve dental implant outcomes?

The 3D images created by a Cone Beam Scanner allow precision planning and placement of dental implants. Oral surgeons can utilize 3D technology to guide dental implants at the ideal angle, depth, and position for optimal success.

What are the benefits of Leukocyte Platelet Rich Fibrin (L-PRF) treatment?

This treatment is used in a wide variety of medical fields. The biggest benefit is that it uses the patient’s own blood to improve healing. A sample of blood is spun in an inra spin centrifuge at high speeds to separate the leukocytes, the platelets, and fibrin (the healing cells in the blood). This high concentration of platelets is administered at the surgical site to accelerate and enhance healing

How do you keep my personal information secure?

Digital technology allows us to keep electronic medical records. This keeps our patients’ personal information safe and secure in encrypted and password protected databases rather than paper files in filing cabinets.

How do you maintain air quality in your office?

We use a Jade Air Filtration system in our office to prevent the spread of bacteria and viruses through the air. Using a HEPA-RX filter (High Efficiency Particulate Air), the Jade Air Filtration system traps 99.9% of airborne pathogens.

How does technology make surgery more comfortable?

Technological advancements have made certain bone-related surgeries more comfortable. The PIezotome CUBE for example, is a surgical tool that uses ultrasonic vibrations to cut bone more effectively without disturbing the surrounding tissues. Procedures are less invasive and more precise where delicate structures are present

What is Palate free grafting?

Traditional gum grafting involves taking a piece of soft tissue from the palate (roof of your mouth). Palate free grafting is a different method of treating receding gums that eliminates the need to cut into your palate. Instead, a volume stable collagen matrix can be utilized to regenerate healthy attached gum tissue and provide better support and heightened esthetics around your dental implants. This technology reduces discomfort and recovery time for patients.

What is Nexus iOS used for?

Nexus iOS technology is used to create full arch dentures with fewer visits and with greater accuracy. This technology combined with the use of an intraoral scanner gauges the location of dental implants so that the prosthetic fits precisely.

What Are Versah Burs?

VersahⓇ burs are special instruments used in the placement of dental implants. VersahⓇ burs aid in osseodensification (thickening of the bone instead of cutting bone) where needed, so that a dental implant can be placed where bone may have traditionally been too thin to proceed.
