Advanced Dental Technology at Westwood Dentistry
At Westwood Dentistry in Westwood, Massachusetts, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional dental care by embracing the latest advancements in dental technology. Led by Dr. Monica Anand, our practice is dedicated to providing patients with a comfortable and efficient experience while ensuring the highest quality of care. Our state-of-the-art technology allows us to diagnose and treat dental issues with greater precision and less discomfort, enhancing both the effectiveness of our treatments and your overall experience.
Digital X-Rays: Precision and Safety
One of the most significant innovations in modern dentistry is digital X-rays. At Westwood Dentistry, we have replaced traditional film-based X-rays with digital X-ray technology, which offers numerous advantages. Digital X-rays produce high-resolution images that can be viewed immediately, allowing Drs. Anand and Rawat need to diagnose any dental issues quickly and accurately. Digital X-rays also ensure that the patient is exposed to a significantly reduced level of radiation compared to traditional x-rays, making them a safer option for routine imaging. This technology also lets us store and share your X-ray images electronically, ensuring that your dental records are easily accessible for future reference.
Intraoral Cameras: Enhanced Visualization
Intraoral cameras are another advanced tool we use at Westwood Dentistry to improve patient care. These small, handheld devices allow Drs. Anand and Rawat will capture detailed images of the inside of your mouth. The photos are displayed on a monitor in real-time, giving you a clear view of your teeth and gums as Drs. Anand and Rawat explain any areas of concern. This technology not only aids in diagnosis but also helps you better understand your oral health and the recommended treatment options. Intraoral cameras are useful for identifying issues like tooth decay, gum disease, and cracked teeth, which may not be easily visible during a standard examination. Sometimes, doctors also take intra-oral photos during a procedure to help you better understand the original condition and the resulting treatment. It also allows us to monitor certain conditions regularly and follow up with photographs to assess any changes better.
Laser Dentistry: Minimally Invasive Treatment
Laser dentistry represents the forefront of minimally invasive dental care, and at Westwood Dentistry, we utilize laser technology for various procedures. Lasers can be used for soft and hard tissue treatments, offering a precise and gentle alternative to traditional methods. For example, lasers can treat gum disease, perform biopsies, and remove tooth decay with minimal discomfort and faster healing times. Laser technology reduces the need for anesthesia and eliminates the use of drills in many procedures, resulting in a more comfortable experience for our patients. Many surgical procedures can be completed with a laser and do not involve a blade, blood, or sutures. The healing is far smoother and quicker with laser surgical procedures. Fotona Laser can treat Sleep Breathing Disorders like Sleep Apnea and UARS. Lasers are an excellent tool for removing Lip and Tongue ties in Adults, children, and especially infants.
Same-Day Crowns: Convenience and Quality
At Westwood Dentistry, we are pleased to offer in-office milling technology to create same-day crowns. Traditionally, getting a dental crown requires multiple visits and temporary crowns while waiting for a lab to fabricate the permanent crown; with in-office milling, Drs. Anand and Rawat can design, mill, and place your custom crown in a single visit. This technology uses digital impressions and CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and manufacturing) to create crowns that fit perfectly and look natural. The convenience of same-day crowns means you can restore your smile without the hassle of multiple appointments. We use the Fastmill.io® developed by Glidewell Laboratories, the world’s largest dental lab, to make these state-of-the-art customized dental crowns.
