3D Images…at the Dentist? | Palm Harbor Dentist

It seems like everything is getting more realistic when it comes to the movies and shows we watch. The dinosaurs and aliens we seem like working actors because technology is so advanced, it’s difficult to tell the difference. But did you ever think this 3D technology was ever going to involve your dental visits? It’s true. Modern dentistry is slowly catching up to today’s technology and the use of 3D digital imaging being just one of the many new advancements.

It’s really great because it allows dentists a wide variety of perspectives of the face, neck and teeth, giving you a better diagnosis and making a more complete treatment plan. With 3D Cone Beam Imaging, dentists do a lot more than ever before. The technology is fast, simple and completely non-invasive, so there’s no need to worry. All you have to do is sit in the chair for a scan, and the dentist has a computer-generated view of your face, teeth and other important details from various perspectives.

The imaging system is basically an X-ray scanner, only it’s mounted on a rotating arm. While you sit in the chair, the scanner will move around your head to gather all the data necessary. There’s no preparation of any kind involved. The dentist can then call up any necessary view on a computer monitor. This accessibility makes it easier to see bones, teeth, airways, nerves, as well as tissues and see the relationship between them in order to create a more effective treatment plan.

Snap on a New Smile | Palm Harbor Dentist

Are you looking for a cosmetic procedure that will enhance your smile? What would you say if I said it was possible without having to endure the pains of shots and drilling? Would you believe me? Would you give it a try? It’s true. Now you can have a brand-new smile without the painful procedures with Snap On Smile.

Snap On Smile is a new, innovative cosmetic procedure that only takes two simple visits. After your impressions have been taken, your Snap On Smile will be made from a strong, stain-free resin that can be snapped in and out over your natural teeth.

No, they aren’t dentures. Snap On Smile is made from a crystalized resin, this material is thin, flexible and fits comfortably against your teeth and gums. By using the natural curvature of your teeth your Snap On Smile is able to stay in place. Snap On Smiles are customizable, which means your dentist will help choose the tooth shape and whiteness level you prefer.

It is an excellent choice for:

  • Gaps, crooked, stained or missing teeth
  • Those who are not candidates for bridges or implants
  • Anyone who would like a Hollywood smile without the expense and discomfort of complex and invasive dental procedures
  • Anyone who has an old-fashioned removable partial denture and wants a beautiful, more comfortable alternative

Avoid living with gapped, chipped, or stained teeth. Snap On Smile may be the solution for you. If you think it’s time to rejuvenate your smile, schedule an appointment with your dental professional to find out if you are an ideal candidate.
