Experience the Future of Dental Care Today
Advanced Dental Technology at Sheila L. Brush, DDS, PC
At Sheila L. Brush, DDS, PC, we believe that exceptional dental care requires the most advanced tools and techniques available. Our commitment to incorporating cutting-edge technology into every aspect of our practice ensures that patients receive the highest quality treatment with maximum comfort and precision. As a leader in Olney modern dentistry, we continuously invest in state-of-the-art equipment that enhances diagnostic accuracy, improves treatment outcomes, and creates a more comfortable experience for our patients.
Our technology-driven approach allows us to provide minimally invasive treatments, faster healing times, and more predictable results. From the moment you enter our office, you’ll experience the difference that advanced dental technology makes in your care.
Air Abrasion Dentistry
Air abrasion represents a revolutionary approach to cavity preparation and treatment. This technology uses a stream of fine particles to gently remove decay without the need for traditional drilling in many cases. The air abrasion system is virtually silent, produces no heat or vibration, and often eliminates the need for local anesthesia. This gentle approach is particularly beneficial for patients with dental anxiety and allows us to preserve more healthy tooth structure during cavity treatment.
Cone Beam 3D Imaging
Our cone beam 3D imaging technology provides detailed, three-dimensional views of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures. This advanced imaging system captures comprehensive information in a single scan, allowing us to plan treatments with unprecedented precision. Whether we’re evaluating for dental implants, diagnosing TMJ disorders, or planning orthodontic treatment, cone beam imaging gives us the detailed information needed for optimal treatment planning and outcomes.
Digital X-Rays
Digital radiography represents a significant advancement over traditional film X-rays. This technology reduces radiation exposure by up to 90% while providing instant, high-quality images that can be enhanced and analyzed immediately. Digital X-rays allow us to detect problems earlier, share images with specialists instantly, and maintain a paperless patient record system that’s both environmentally friendly and highly efficient.
Intraoral Cameras
Our intraoral cameras serve as an invaluable diagnostic and educational tool. These tiny cameras capture detailed images of individual teeth and oral tissues, allowing both our team and patients to see exactly what’s happening inside the mouth. This technology enhances our ability to detect early signs of decay, gum disease, or other oral health issues while helping patients better understand their treatment needs and options.
Laser Therapy
Dental laser technology has transformed many aspects of dental treatment. We use lasers for soft tissue procedures, periodontal therapy, and cavity detection. Laser treatments are often more comfortable than traditional methods, promote faster healing, reduce bleeding and swelling, and minimize the risk of infection. From treating gum disease to performing precise soft tissue procedures, laser technology allows us to provide gentle, effective care.
Ultrasonics
Ultrasonic technology enhances our cleaning and periodontal therapy capabilities. Ultrasonic instruments use high-frequency vibrations to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria more effectively than traditional hand instruments alone. This technology is particularly beneficial for patients with periodontal disease, as it can reach areas that are difficult to access with conventional tools while being gentler on the tissues.
The Benefits of Advanced Technology
Incorporating the latest technology into our practice provides numerous benefits for our patients. Advanced diagnostic tools allow us to detect problems earlier when treatment is simpler and less expensive. Minimally invasive treatment options preserve more healthy tooth structure and often require less recovery time. Enhanced imaging capabilities enable more precise treatment planning, leading to better outcomes and increased patient satisfaction.
As part of Olney modern dentistry, we understand that patients appreciate efficiency, comfort, and predictable results. Our investment in advanced technology allows us to deliver all three while maintaining the personal, caring approach that sets our practice apart.
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Technology
Q: Is digital X-ray technology safe?
A: Yes, digital X-rays are extremely safe and use significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays. The digital sensors are more sensitive to radiation, requiring less exposure time while producing superior image quality.
Q: Does laser therapy hurt?
A: Most patients find laser therapy more comfortable than traditional treatments. Lasers often eliminate the need for anesthesia and typically result in less post-treatment discomfort and faster healing.
Q: How does air abrasion compare to traditional drilling?
A: Air abrasion is quieter, generates no heat or vibration, and often eliminates the need for local anesthesia. It’s particularly beneficial for small cavities and patients with dental anxiety.
