The Wand

For many patients, needles produce feelings of extreme apprehension and uneasiness, preventing them from receiving necessary dental work. The Wand, a computerized numbing system, is the solution to their fears. The Wand is comprised of a needle with a pen attached. The pen dispenses a tiny amount of anesthesia to the injection site prior to the needle touching the gum. The pen sends additional anesthesia ahead of the needle as the needle continues to slowly penetrate the gum,. The Wand eliminates the initial sting of the needle and the burning sensation associated with anesthesia as it enters the gums. Most patients do not experience any discomfort at all. We are part of an elite group of dental professionals offering the Wand and patients travel to our cosmetic dentistry office from Walnut Creek, Oakland and all over the bay area to enjoy this pain-minimizing technology. To find out more about the Wand or the other technologies we offer, please contact our cosmetic dentistry office in Walnut Creek today.

Intraoral Cameras

The intraoral camera is a high-tech dental tool that allows us to diagnosis dental problems much earlier than with traditional dental technology. The tiny intraoral camera is placed in the patient’s mouth, creating images of the teeth and gums, which are subsequently sent to a computer screen. This time-saving device allows the doctor to view an enlarged and extremely accurate picture of the mouth, permitting earlier detection of any potential dental problems or diseases. Patients can also view the images on screen, allowing them to actually see the areas that are being worked on and giving them a better understanding of the procedure. The intraocular camera recreates the structure of the teeth with extreme precision, which the dentist uses to determine the best course of treatment for each situation. To learn more about the intraoral camera, please contact our cosmetic dentistry office located in Walnut Creek today.

Digital Radiography

Digital radiography is an advantageous new technology, allowing both you and your dentist to be more aware of the condition of the teeth and your dental health. Digital radiography is also extremely safe. When compared to normal X-rays, Digital radiography limits exposure by 90 percent, virtually eliminating the chance of any adverse side effects. The dentist places a small camera into your mouth, which takes the X-rays and then immediately sends them to a computer screen. You will be able to see any problems for yourself and actively participate in the planning of any treatment options. If you'd like to learn more about Digital radiography, please contact our cosmetic dentistry offices, serving Walnut Creek, Oakland, and all bay area communities, today!
