Digital
Radiography: Efficient and Safer
In
an effort to promote office efficiency and patient safety, we've
implemented new state-of-the-art imaging techniques. This state-of
-the-art technology reduces patient x-ray exposure by 80%. In addition,
the digitalized images can be stored and transmitted easier than regular
x-ray film. The upgrade also enhances diagnosis, and helps make certain
specialized treatment such as implants and root canals more efficient.
Laser Dentistry
Dr.
Bird's office is now completely digital on x-rays and panoramic images,
and equipment includes the Lares Powerlase AT, pictured right. It is a
hard and soft tissue laser and we can often times do fillings with the
laser, replacing the noisy drill and with little to no anesthesia. We
can also perform periodontal surgery with with less bleeding, no
sutures, and post-operatively, there is very little discomfort and the
healing time is much faster than with conventional therapy.
Removal
of overgrown gingiva (gums), bumps on the gums or the tongue, biopsies,
and treatment of fever blisters from herpes and just plain ole mouth
ulcers ( viral) are all easily and painlessly treated with the laser.
Conventional treatment involves needles, scalpels, sutures and lots of
bleeding.
Dr.
Bird has successfully completed hours of training and continuing
education on the use of lasers in dentistry. He has also passed the
written and clinical tests and will be accredited by the Academy of Laser
Dentistry and received the standard proficiency certification.
