Get 3D at the Dentist | Palm Harbor Dentist

When it’s time to visit the dentist for a checkup, the chances are pretty great that you will be getting some x-rays taken. Not only do they help your dentist find any issues that may be happening but can help to foresee any issues that may arise in the future. 3D ConeBeam Imaging is considered as such a technology that can help dentists do a lot more than ever before. The technology is fast, simple and completely non-invasive. All the patient has to do is sit in the dental chair. The dentist has a computer-generated view of the patient’s face, teeth and other important details from various perspectives. For dental practitioners, access to accurate and complete information is important in planning treatment. The use of 3D ConeBeam Imaging helps in providing that information, making it beneficial for both dental practitioners and patients alike.

Traditionally, dentists relied on x-rays focused on their patient’s teeth to create treatment plans. While effective, the process is not exactly foolproof and there have been many cases of unintentional lapses because of the limited information given out by x-rays.

With the 3D ConeBeam Imaging system, dentists have a more complete visual guide to study their patient’s case from just about any angle they can think of. Even better is that the scan data is easy to duplicate for storage purposes and to make it easier to send out to different specialists later on. Thanks to the more accurate, high-quality, detailed visual information produced by the imaging system, dentists have all the information they could possibly need to diagnose and plan out the proper course of action.

You’ve Fixed Your Smile – Now What? | Palm Harbor Dentist

When you don’t have a smile that make you happy to show it off, it eventually becomes an issue to one’s self-esteem or relations with others. And if you have the chance to fix those flaws, most of us would jump at the chance. Then the day comes – you are no longer suffering from a smile with missing teeth because your brand new dental implants have restored your smile to perfection! Now that you’ve put a lot of time and money in to your new dental implants, what are the best ways to care for them, so they last a lifetime? You’ll be surprised to know that it isn’t all that different than your previous dental care. In order to maintain your dental implants, follow these handy aftercare tips:

Brush and floss twice a day. Dental implants should be treated like your natural teeth. Brush and floss thoroughly to ensure that your oral health is in top condition.

Frequent dental visits. In order to examine the condition of your dental implants, schedule regular visits with your Palm Harbor dental professional. It is essential that your dental implants receive thorough dental cleanings and examinations.

Mouthwash. To reduce the risk of infection and gum disease, mouthwash is necessary to remove plaque and bacteria in the mouth. Be sure to rinse with mouthwash for at least 30 seconds for the most effective outcome.

Avoid staining. Lots of things we consume can stain our teeth over time. Staying away from staining foods and drinks, such as coffee and wine, will ensure your smile stays bright.
