Our team offers oral surgery to take on more complex oral health issues and restore the function, health, and beauty of your smile. From tooth extraction to dental implant placement, we can help you smile with confidence again. At your Metairie, LA, oral surgery clinic, our team can plan and implement treatment with advanced digital technology, and in today’s blog we’re looking at these systems in detail!
Digital X-Rays
With the panorex system, our team provides a digital alternative to traditional dental x-rays. We can gather these panoramic images quickly and comfortably, obtaining a clear view of the entirety of your upper and lower jaw in one image. The process doesn’t use bitewings and only requires a fraction of the radiation that a traditional system does. The patient places his or her chin on a special rest, and a machine will circle their head to gather the images. The picture is then sent instantly to a chairside monitor, so we can begin the diagnosis and treatment planning right away.
3D Imagery
If we are planning more involved procedures like grafting, sinus lifts, dental implant placement, or tooth extraction, we want a 3D image of your smile, so we can identify blood vessels, nerve tissues, and sinus cavities, ensuring we avoid them as part of the treatment. With the digital cone beam system, we can obtain these clear and 3D images quickly and comfortably, and then plan oral surgery and restorative treatments with precision and accuracy.
Electronic Records
Paperwork is exhausting, and no one likes filling out sheet after sheet in the waiting room. Which is why we’re proud to offer a digital alternative! With electronic medical records, you can submit insurance information and fill out forms about medical and dental history online before you even arrive, so you have less time in the waiting room. You not only have a shorter wait, but we can transmit these forms easily to your general dentist or orthodontist as needed, making the process more seamless.
