In restorative dentistry, technology is pivotal in achieving precise, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing results. The Carolina Center for Restorative Dentistry in Mount Pleasant, SC, has long been at the forefront of implementing advanced technology to transform patients' smiles. From digital scanning to 3D imaging, these leading-edge tools have revolutionized the full smile restoration process.
State-of-the-Art Technology for Exceptional, Comfortable Outcomes
Digital Scanning
Digital scanning is a cornerstone of modern restorative dentistry. This innovative technology replaces traditional impressions, which can sometimes be uncomfortable, messy, and imprecise. Your Mount Pleasant restorative dentist uses digital scanning to create highly accurate 3D models of a patient's teeth and gums, which provides detailed images and helps our team design perfectly fitting restorations that look natural.
3D Imaging
Another game-changing technology is 3D imaging, used for planning and performing complex procedures, such as dental implant placement. Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), a type of 3D imaging, provides a comprehensive view of the patient's mouth, including the teeth, bone structure, and soft tissues. With this level of detail, Dr. Patel can meticulously plan implant placement to ensure optimal function, comfort, and aesthetics.
Dental 3D Printing
3D printing also plays a significant role in full smile restorations. After using digital scanning to create a model of the patient's mouth, we can use 3D printers to produce precise physical models, surgical guides, or even the restoration itself, such as crowns or bridges. This accelerates the treatment process and reduces patients' time to wait for their new smile.
Same-Day Crowns in Mt. Pleasant
Computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems are another key piece of the technological puzzle. With CAD/CAM technology and our in-office lab, Dr. Patel can design, fabricate, and place dental crowns in a single visit. No more waiting weeks for your restored smile; you can achieve it in one visit to our dental office! The results are durable, natural-looking, and custom-fitted restorations that can be placed immediately, saving you time and the hassle of multiple visits.
Laser Dentistry
Dr. Patel uses laser dentistry to adjust soft tissues, like treating gummy smiles, uneven smile lines, and soft tissue growths. Laser dentistry is an exact, minimally invasive procedure that allows Dr. Patel to reshape or remove soft tissue with exceptional control. This method also reduces discomfort and offers quicker healing times than traditional surgery.
