Digital Technology
Digital x-rays are a fast and comfortable way for us to accurately diagnose your oral health needs. They emit up to 90% less radiation than traditional x-rays and require no chemical processing, so they’re easy on you and on the environment.
Intraoral Camera
Using this camera, we can give you a “tour” of your mouth, live on a TV screen. We also use the intraoral camera to help guide you through your diagnosis and treatment options, keeping you informed every step of the way.
Diagnodent® - Laser-Assisted Cavity Detection
Since identifying and filling cavities are two of the most important things we do for patients, we use Diagnodent® laser technology. This technology precisely detects tooth decay in its early states, many times before it can be recognized by other means. Diagnodent’s ability to catch decay sooner means that the fillings required are often smaller and simpler, which allows us to use minimally invasive filing procedures and preserve more natural tooth. Additionally, the low intensity Diagnodent laser enables us to monitor areas of concern without repeated x-rays.
Dental Implants
Many of the millions of people who are missing teeth struggle with ill-fitting, uncomfortable dentures or retainers with false teeth. If you know what this feels like and are ready for a permanent solution, we have one for you! Dr. Fung and our team at Designing Smiles can give your smile a second chance through dental implant restorations and mini dental implants. Implants can solve the practice and social problems associated with dentures. They are effective in stabilizing dentures to fit better, feel better, look better, and chew better. Healthy dental implants can even prevent the bone loss that commonly occurs after tooth loss.
In addition to stabilizing dentures, dental implants and mini implants can be used in some crown and bridge applications, as well as single-tooth replacements.
Invisalign® Teeth Straightening
Invisalign® uses strong plastic trays called Aligners® that are practically invisible in your mouth, as well as removable and relatively comfortable. This teeth straightening method is very popular with adult patients who don’t have severely crooked teeth.
