At True Design Dentistry, we pride ourselves on providing top-notch dental care services in San Diego. We understand the importance of staying up-to-date with the latest advancements in technology, which is why we have invested in state-of-the-art equipment, such as digital radiographs. These high-resolution images not only improve our level of communication with patients but also allow you to co-diagnose your oral care needs alongside our experienced dentist, Dr. Nick Refahi.
Additionally, we have partnered with one of the best labs in the country to offer our patients the highest quality dental restorations available. As your trusted family dentist in San Diego, we are committed to providing you with the best possible care using the most cutting-edge technology.
Traditionally, dentists use x-rays to find out what’s going on below the surface, developing them in a dark room full of chemicals, and examining the resulting films on a special light board.
Digital radiography entirely outperforms that cumbersome process. Now, a tiny sensor placed in the mouth acts like a miniature VCR camera with an x-ray sensitive chip, exposing you to 50%-90% less radiation exposure than traditional X-ray techniques. The resulting highly detailed image of your mouth is almost instantaneously translated onto our computer screen, carrying with it all the conveniences of other digitized images. We can rotate it, magnify it, adjust it for contrast, and even color-code it for educational purposes. Because it helps our patients clearly understand the root issues behind their dental health, we’re able to work together to determine the very best dental treatment options for each case.
Waterlase® System
The Waterlase® system is a revolutionary new, sophisticated dental device that uses laser-energized water to cut teeth. BIOLASE received FDA clearance to market the Waterlase® system for use on hard tissue (teeth) on October 9, 1998. This combination of laser energy and water-spray creates “HYDROKINETIC” energy and is a patented technology invented by BIOLASE scientists and engineers.
How does Waterlase® work?
Advantages of Waterlase®
This wonderful new technology allows you to relax in your chair while simultaneously observing real-time pictures of the inside of your mouth magnified beyond normal size on an adjacent computer monitor! Not only does this make it simple to see and understand what the doctor is telling you, but it makes it simple for us to keep incredibly accurate records from one visit to the next.
Patients who use tobacco and alcohol heavily are prone to oral cancer. Cancer screening is done in order to detect the signs of cancerous cells at an early stage and take the necessary steps to cure the same. This can be done during a routine dental visit. Dentists make a note of the medical history of patients and check out for abnormal cells using special equipment. The process may involve the removal of some of the cells from the mouth and performing a biopsy to find out if they are cancerous. The tests performed can help in taking early steps to cure oral cancer.
Cone Beam Computed Tomography, or CBCT, is one of the proven technologies in dental medicine. The technology helps in taking 3D digital images of hard bone tissues in teeth and jaws. A cone-shaped X-ray beam rotates around the head of the patient to develop a 3D digital image of the dentition. The technology is vastly used in dentistry in recent times because it is faster and the images help dentists come up with effective treatment plans for your needs. CBCT can be very helpful when performing dental implant surgeries, orthodontic treatment, and other oral surgeries. The complex technology has several advantages and it truly is a boon to the field of dentistry.
WAND is a piece of technological equipment that is used to inject a controlled amount of local anesthesia. It is computer-controlled and the device regulates the flow of the anesthesia in the injection. This can reduce pain and anxiety in patients. It is an advanced dental machine which has made the delivery of local anesthesia simpler and more precise. Most patients report pain caused by injection when administering local anesthesia. This pain is essentially caused by the quick inflow of the anesthetic. WAND slows down the flow of the numbing agent and hence solves the problem.
