Advanced Dental Technology for Exceptional Care
At Bassam Michiel DDS, we embrace the latest innovations in dental technology to ensure you receive the most accurate, efficient, and comfortable care possible. From diagnosis to treatment, we use state-of-the-art tools to provide faster results, improved precision, and better outcomes.
Our Cutting-Edge Technology
Here’s a closer look at the advanced technologies we use to enhance your dental experience:
Digital X-Rays
Traditional X-rays have been replaced by digital X-rays, a safer, more efficient method of capturing clear, high-resolution images of your teeth and jaw. Digital X-rays use up to 80% less radiation than traditional methods, providing a safer experience for you. Additionally, they allow us to instantly view and analyze your dental images, enabling quicker and more accurate diagnoses. Whether it’s detecting cavities, infections, or bone loss, digital X-rays are crucial in providing you with the best possible care.
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)
For more complex cases, we utilize Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), a specialized 3D imaging technology that creates detailed, three-dimensional images of your teeth, soft tissues, and bone structure. CBCT scans provide a comprehensive view of your dental anatomy, allowing us to plan treatments with greater precision for dental implants. This advanced imaging helps us detect underlying issues that may not be visible with traditional X-rays, leading to more effective treatment planning and better results.
Intraoral Scanning
Gone are the days of uncomfortable and messy impressions. With intraoral scanning, we can digitally capture precise, detailed images of your teeth and gums without the need for trays or putty. The scanner creates a 3D map of your mouth in real-time, which is faster, more comfortable, and more accurate than traditional methods. These digital impressions are used to design crowns, bridges, and other restorations, ensuring a perfect fit and more predictable outcomes.
CAD/CAM Technology
Our CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing) system is a game-changer in dentistry. This technology allows us to design and create custom restorations, such as crowns, bridges, and veneers, right in our office. With CAD/CAM, we can prepare, design, and mill your restoration in just one visit—no need for temporary crowns or multiple appointments. The precision of CAD/CAM ensures a seamless fit, and the result is a durable, natural-looking restoration that blends beautifully with your smile.
3D Printing and Milling
3D printing and milling are revolutionizing the way we create dental restorations and prosthetics. Using highly detailed digital impressions, we can print crowns, bridges, dentures, and even orthodontic appliances with incredible precision. This technology offers a level of customization that ensures each piece fits perfectly to your unique dental structure. In addition, milling machines enable us to craft restorations from durable materials in-office, often within hours, so you can leave with your new smile the same day.
