Our Orland Park dentists do everything possible to help our patients complete dental treatment quickly, comfortably, and efficiently. In order to optimize our office, our dental team is always incorporating the latest techniques and technologies into our practice. In this short article we’ll be giving you some more information about some of the state-of-the-art treatments that we offer.
Anesthetic Wand
This is a handheld device that our dentist uses to help patients benefit from sedation dentistry, even if they are afraid of needles. The anesthetic wand injects a numbing medication into the patient at a computer-controlled rate that is designed to be lower than the threshold of the patient’s pain receptors. This keeps you comfortable from the first moment of the treatment process.
Laser reshaping
Using a dental laser our team can reshape gum tissue that has become damaged, or is simply naturally out of balance. Refining gum tissue is a fast and easy way to improve the aesthetics of your smile.
Ultrasonic cleaning
Our dental team cleans teeth with ultrasonic technology. The ultrasonic cleaning machine has a small wand with a water-cooled metal tip. As we move the wand over your teeth and gums, plaque and tartar deposits detach from your smile. This is a comfortable and fast way to get the comprehensive dental cleaning that you need.
Dental implants
These stand-alone replacement teeth deliver exceptional functional and aesthetic results. Plus, once they are in lace they stay put—with proper care dental implants can last for decades before they need to be repaired or refurbished. Dental implants are quickly becoming the most popular tooth replacement option among patients of all ages.
