State-of-the Art Technology
At Elegant Dental Sugar Land, we are passionate about the quality care and treatment we provide to our community and patients. Because of this, we have invested in the most innovative State-of-the-Art technology and techniques that makes treatment faster, safer, and more comfortable for every patient we treat.
Our digital dental technology allows us to clearly communicate with our patients. We want you to be able to see what we see! By being able to see what we see patients can better make an informed decision regarding their oral health care, dental needs, and treatment options.
Below we have outlined some of the many dental instruments that we use on a regular basis that makes visiting our dental office a little easier.
Digital X-Rays
We use advanced portable digital X-ray devices that emit 85% less radiation than conventional X-ray machines and produce highly detailed images that are available in seconds. These become part of your permanent dental record.
3D Cone Beam Scanner
Our Prexion Excelsior CBCT (cone beam computed tomography) scanner captures three-dimensional images of your jawbone, allowing us to review your oral anatomy from all angles to plan your treatment. The system produces crisp 3D images in seconds while using far less radiation than medical CT scans. Our doctors use the CT scanner and 3d dental scanner to precisely plan for your dental implant treatment, as well as detect problems, lesions, and defects in the jaw that are not visible with conventional X-rays.
Implant Planning Software
Our doctors use special implant planning software to precisely plan out all of their implant cases. This implant software allows the doctors to simulate the entire procedure ahead of time and make a custom plan for your treatment so there will be no surprises during the actual surgery.
Dental Laser
The doctors use a dental laser to treat lip lesions, periodontal abscesses, and peri-implantitis. The laser’s strength is adjustable and is used at a lesser strength in gum disease treatment to kill bacteria and stimulate the reattachment of the gums to the teeth. Our laser dentistry near you is far less invasive than standard surgical instruments.
Intraoral 3D Scanner
Our doctors use an intraoral scanner (3Shape Trios) paired with a very powerful computer to take fast, accurate, and comfortable full-color scans of the inside of your mouth. We use these scans to make your crowns, bridges, veneers, and dentures look amazing. We can do digital smile design with this technology so you can see what your treatment can look like prior to getting it done. Also, this way, we say goodbye to that nasty goop that makes you gag with traditional old-fashioned impressions.
Ultrasonic and Piezo Scalers
We can use ultrasonic scalers in addition to hand instruments when treating gum disease. The ultrasonic scaler emits high-frequency vibrations that gently remove the plaque and buildup on your teeth and below your gum line. The vibrational frequency can be adjusted for patient comfort.
Intraoral Camera dental
We use our DSLR (digital single-lens reflex camera) and specialized dental intraoral cameras to take digital photos of your teeth, gums, and surrounding tissues to show you the health and status of your teeth. This is especially helpful when you have an issue going on; we can show it to you and explain how we can fix it.
Opalescence Go
These are a convenient, easy-to-use whitening treatment to go and are the professional alternative to over-the-counter teeth whitening products. It features a unique UltraFit™ tray that molds and conforms to any patient’s smile providing a comfortable, custom-like fit and optimal gel/tooth contact. No impressions, models, or lab time is required.
Zoom in-office whitening
To create a whiter smile that you will enjoy showing off, Our dentist in Sugar Land use Philips Zoom Blue LED light-accelerated technology, and gel whitens rapidly while Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (ACP) helps deliver enamel protection, improve luster, and reduce sensitivity.
