Here at Modern Family Dentistry, we try very hard to live up to all aspects of our name. We work very hard to stay on the cutting edge of dentistry, utilizing all of the latest technological advances. Here are some examples of our newest technology:
Using the Cerec 3-D CAD-CAM system, our staff can provide you with a permanent posterior crown or inlay/onlay in a single visit! Imagine a permanent crown in the time it used to take to prepare the tooth and fabricate a temporary crown! We are very excited about this technology. One visit, no messy impressions, amazing results!
We were one of the first offices in the state to purchase and use the Cerec, and we were the first office in Charleston to receive training on the latest software. We love this machine, and cannot wait to show you what it can do for you!
With
this device, we are often able to remove decay without anesthesia. NO
SHOTS! We use this as much as possible on our pediatric patients, to try and
make their visits as comfortable as we can.
This is only appropriate for relatively shallow fillings, and we may have to numb in cases where the decay is too deep. But we love this machine for those times that we can use it and give our patients the most comfortable visits!
Our latest addition allows us to take almost instant x-rays in a much larger format than conventional radiographs. It requires less radiation and thus reduces ou patients' exposure.
