At Houston Dental, we believe in embracing new advancements in dental technology. Our technology also plays an important role in diagnosing and treating our patients and allows us to provide them with the care they deserve.
Our dental technologies are a testament to our dedication to your oral health and well-being. From imaging systems that provide precise diagnostics to custom-made dental appliances that ensure comfort and efficiency, we prioritize your care at every stage of your treatment plan.
Dental technologies, such as digital X-rays, 3D imaging, and intraoral cameras, allow for improved precision in diagnosis and treatment planning. These tools enable our dentists to identify issues early and develop targeted, effective solutions.
Patient comfort has always been our top priority. Tools like laser dental devices and sedation techniques help minimize discomfort and anxiety during procedures. Laser technology, for example, allows for minimally invasive treatments that reduce pain, swelling, and healing time.
Our technologies help ensure our treatments last. For instance, orthodontic appliances, dentures, and other dental devices crafted with the latest techniques offer durability and functionality, and they also help patients maintain healthy smiles for years to come.
Our digital tools allow our dentists to see your oral cavity in greater detail, leading to more informed treatment decisions. Digital X-rays, for instance, reduce radiation exposure and provide immediate images that can be easily shared with patients to better understand their oral health. Intraoral cameras offer a real-time view of the mouth, enabling our dentists to identify problems that may not be visible to the naked eye. This can result in a quicker diagnosis and beginning of treatment, limiting the chances of infection spreading or having to extract your natural tooth.
These are used to maintain a clean and safe environment for our patients and staff. These filtration systems effectively remove airborne contaminants, including bacteria, viruses, and allergens, ensuring that the air quality in our office is of the highest standards.
Intraoral cameras provide high-resolution images of patients’ mouths in real-time, assisting in diagnosing various issues, making more accurate assessments, and helping patients better understand their oral health and treatment plans.
The X-ray offers a panoramic view of the entire mouth, including the teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures, allowing us to identify potential issues that may not be visible through traditional dental X-rays. The crisp, clear images help us detect cavities, impacted teeth, bone loss, and other dental conditions early on.
This X-ray provides high-resolution images that allow us to identify dental issues with greater clarity than traditional film methods. With instant image capture, we can quickly assess oral health, discuss findings with our patients in real time, and develop tailored treatment plans. The digital format also makes it easy to store, retrieve, and share images with specialists when necessary.
Our laser technology allows us to treat gum disease by removing the infected or inflamed gum tissue while sterilizing it at the same time. Our laser cavity detection tool also allows us to find and treat early signs of tooth decay and is beneficial for patients of all ages.
Philips Zoom whitening services effectively target stains caused by food, drinks, and lifestyle habits, delivering noticeable results in just a single treatment. The whitening agent is activated by a special light to enhance the whitening process. Take-home kits are also available and include custom-fitted trays and whitening gel, allowing individuals to whiten their teeth at their own pace.
These sterilization units provide rapid and efficient sterilization of dental instruments, significantly reducing the turnaround time between procedures. With the STATIM system, we can maintain a sterile environment while ensuring that our patients experience minimal wait times.
This tool is designed to remove decay and prepare teeth for restoration without the need for traditional drilling by using a stream of fine particles propelled by air to gently eliminate decayed tissue, which significantly reduces discomfort and anxiety associated with dental procedures.
Crowns and veneers can improve your smile in various ways, providing both aesthetic improvements and functional benefits. Crowns are custom-made to cover a damaged tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. They can effectively protect weak teeth, hold dental bridges in place, attach to an implant, or cover discoloured teeth. Veneers are thin shells of porcelain bonded to your teeth’ front surface. They can address issues such as gaps between teeth, uneven shapes, or severe discolouration. A consultation is needed so we can assess your dental needs and provide you with the best options tailored to your unique situation.
If you are struggling with dental anxiety, the best thing you can do is let us know. Remain open and honest with us so we can help you. Regardless of the procedure or treatment you’re undergoing, we provide dental sedation to ease our patients’ worries and anxieties. Nitrous oxide, also referred to as laughing gas, is an odourless and colourless gas that is administered through a small mask over your nose. You’ll remain awake and be able to answer all of our questions, but you will feel relaxed and “giddy”. Nitrous oxide is a safe and effective sedation option for patients of all ages. Let’s determine if it’s the right fit for you!
