Handheld X-ray devices
At Montee Tailored Smile we have invested in offering our patients digital handheld X-rays. Hand held X-rays offer several advantages that make them better for the patient compared to traditional fixed X-ray units. Here are some reasons why we utilize handheld X-ray devices:
- Enhanced Comfort: Handheld X-ray devices eliminate the need for patients to move to a separate X-ray room, reducing the inconvenience and discomfort associated with changing locations within the dental office.
- Reduced Radiation Exposure: Handheld X-ray devices are designed to emit lower radiation doses while still producing high-quality images. By utilizing advanced technology and optimized X-ray beams, these devices minimize radiation exposure to the patient. This helps alleviate concerns about potential risks associated with ionizing radiation.
- Immediate Results and Treatment Planning: Handheld X-ray devices provide instant image results, allowing Dr. Montee to view the images immediately on a digital screen. This immediate feedback enables timely diagnosis and treatment planning for you. Patients can discuss their condition with the dentist right away, leading to quicker initiation of appropriate treatment and a more efficient overall dental visit.
- Efficient Workflow: Patients spend less time waiting for X-rays to be taken and processed, which increases overall efficiency in your appointment. This efficiency can minimizes your stress and ensures that your dental visit is as smooth and time-effective as possible.
Precision and Accuracy: Handheld X-ray devices allows Dr. Montee and his team to precisely target the X-ray beam to capture images of specific areas of concern. This targeted approach ensures that only the necessary regions are exposed to radiation, minimizing the potential for overexposure to healthy tissues. The detailed and high-resolution images produced by handheld X-ray devices enhance diagnostic accuracy, enabling us to identify and address dental conditions more effectively.
3-D scans- state of the art technology for you
When it comes to dental implant planning, precision is paramount. The use of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) technology has revolutionized the field of implant dentistry, offering a range of benefits that significantly enhance the planning and success of dental implant procedures.
Our CBCT scans provide detailed three-dimensional images of the oral and maxillofacial region, allowing Dr. Montee to obtain accurate anatomical information and plan implant placement with unparalleled precision.
- Accurate Assessment of Bone Structure:
CBCT scans provide an in-depth evaluation of the patient’s bone structure, including bone density, height, width, and quality. This vital information is crucial for Dr. Montee to determine the feasibility of your dental implant placement.
- Evaluation of Adjacent Structures:
CBCT imaging allows for a comprehensive evaluation of adjacent structures, such as nerves, sinuses, and adjacent teeth roots. Dr. Montee can assess the proximity of vital structures to the planned implant site, ensuring that they are not compromised during your implant placement process. This meticulous assessment minimizes the risk of nerve damage, sinus complications, and damage to neighboring teeth, leading to safer and more predictable implant procedures.
- Virtual Treatment Planning:
CBCT scans enable Dr. Montee to perform virtual treatment planning for dental implant procedures. Using Invivo advanced software allows for precise virtual placement of your implants with accuracy and customization. Dr. Montee can visualize the ideal implant position, angulation, and depth, taking into consideration the your individual bone anatomy and tooth requirements.
- Enhanced Surgical Predictability:
With CBCT technology, Dr. Montee gains valuable insights into the bone volume and quality, enabling him to select the appropriate surgical techniques and materials for implant placement. This enhanced surgical predictability allows for meticulous pre-operative planning, minimizing the risk of surgical errors and increasing the overall success rate of dental implant procedures.
