Don’t Ignore Your Exams And Cleanings!

Posted by

Sweater Leawood KSFor younger adult patients, setting dental appointments can be difficult. This is a normal part of development as you test the waters in which medical needs are necessary at what time. No matter how much your parents bring it up, the likelihood is high that they too struggled with this action. With that said, it is vital to maintain a consistent set of appointments with your dentist to keep your mouth safe as you age.

Your oral health relies upon the aid of a trained dental professional every six months at least. Once you have had your wisdom teeth extracted and your mouth becomes fully developed, there is still danger. Plaque and tartar buildup can lead to tooth decay through cavities.

Advances In Technology For A Better Dentistry

Posted by

Tech Leawood KSTechnological processes are immensely important within the realm of dentistry. These help in every step of the oral health process, starting with identification and diagnosis. Three advances have become particularly helpful in bringing dental imaging into the new millennium. We proudly offer each of these imagery processes to our clients at Dreem Dentistry in Leawood, KS in order to bring positive lasting dental improvement.

Digital x-rays are a helpful way to limit the need for excess radiation, emitting around 80% less than with traditional film methods. As with any other camera, this medium also allows for the capture of more radiographs in a digital form. This approach can lead to better results through a closer look at the problems within a mouth.

Intraoral scanners can cut down on the time in the dental chair for a restoration procedure. Avoid messy molds through this process, as well. 3D Cone Beam imaging is another way that our practice brings a technological edge to restorative and cosmetic dentistry. This machine takes detailed 3D views of the interior of the mouth and can be highly effective at planning for cosmetic enhancement. Discover the advantages of technological prowess! (more…)
