Technology in Dentistry
Our
state-of-the-art dental technology allows us to offer our patients
services that are faster, better and less intrusive than most
people might imagine. The latest computer technology is maximized
for treatment as well as patient comfort.
Among the services we offer are:
Digital
Radiology: Instant images can
each be used to examine teeth for cavities and/or decay. Programmed
for magnification, colorization, and measurement to give you the
highest level of accuracy. Reduces radiation exposure by more
than 90%.
Panoramic Digital Film Technology:
For comprehensive diagnosis 
and
less radiation, the panoramic machine takes an x-ray of your facial
aspects, including the TMJ joints and sinus area, in one picture.
A panoramic x-ray film is a diagnostic image that shows all of
the jawbones and teeth and is typically utilized in oral surgery
such as wisdom tooth extractions, implant surgeries and jaw fractures
as well as in orthodontics.
SIM/Plant™
Preoperative Planning Software: A
software program that combines a computer tomography (CT scan)
with implant treatment planning. The digital CT scan is downloaded
onto a computer where Dr. Ceccacci can view 
your
upper or lower jaw in 3-dimensions. The doctor is then able to
see bone quality and density of the jaw area. This allows him
to predetermine where to place dental implants before the day
of your surgery. Dr. Ceccacci performs a simulated surgery on
the program, making the outcome of the implant surgery more predictable
and successful.
BriteSmile:
The most revolutionary technique
in teeth whitening combining a whitening gel activated by a specially
designed and patented blue plasma arc light. Your teeth can be
up to nine shades whiter in only 90 minutes.
DIAGNOdent:
This safe and pain free laser light machine detects decay
as it appears
beneath the surface (from the inside out). DIAGNOdent allows us
to locate hidden decay, and with treatment stop the spread of
disease before it destroys the tooth from within. A number scale
and an alarm signal the doctor when there are signs of hidden
decay.
Patient
comfort:
All rooms are equipped with computers that allow television viewing,
Internet access (via wireless keyboard and mouse) and stereo surround
sound for your favorite CD’s and DVD movies.
