At Sarasota Dental Arts, we've invested in state-of-the-art technology to give you the safest, most efficient, most effective, and most comfortable treatment possible. Our advanced technology allows us to do everything from taking highly detailed images of your mouth to placing dental implants with incredible precision.
Digital x-rays are one of our most important diagnostic tools. They produce 90% less radiation to you then traditional film x-rays! They allow us to take a peek inside your teeth and beneath your gums to watch for any concerns that might be developing. This allows us to catch problems easily so that they can be treated before they cause you any pain or inconvenience.
Using our digital imaging system, your digital x-rays and intraoral camera images can be analyzed in great detail. We are able to zoom in, enlarge, rotate, and enhance your images to get a better idea of precisely what’s going on. These images can then be easily stored in your electronic medical record so that they can be quickly retrieved for comparison with new images. All of this means faster, easier diagnosis and less time waiting for images to develop or be retrieved.
Images taken with digital intraoral cameras can be easily displayed on chairside screens. This gives Dr. Aygen an enhanced view of your mouth and makes it easier for him to show you any areas of concern. Digital images are also used when we are creating customized restorations, including crowns, veneers, and dentures.
The days of messy impressions may soon be behind us. Digital impressions with our intra-oral scanner provide a high tech, a patient-friendly way of taking an impression of your teeth and gums.
The digital technique is more comfortable since it takes digital photos of the teeth without a metal tray and wet material. It also allows the ability to show our patients a 3D model of their teeth, on a screen, right after the impression has been made. Restorations created from a completely digital process are
delivered faster and with a more precise fit and with fewer chairside adjustments.
Laser dentistry allows us to perform a range of treatments with improved precision, greater comfort, less bleeding, and a faster healing time. We use lasers to remove damage or decay to prepare for fillings and other restorations, and we can also use lasers to remove diseased periodontal tissue or destroy bacterial infections.
Using rotary endodontics, we can perform more comfortable root canals with a higher success rate. These instruments make it easier for Dr. Aygen to remove the infection from your tooth and help ensure that reinfection does not occur.
When we place implants, precision is of the utmost importance. The posts must be placed at the correct angle and to the correct depth for proper healing and restoration. By using the technology of computed tomography, Dr. Aygen can precisely place implants and always get it right the first time.
Your safety is always of the utmost important to us, and that’s why we use Criticare monitoring systems to keep track of your vitals while you are receiving treatment under IV Conscious sedation.
Paperless technology provides a number of benefits. For instance:
Additionally, paperless technology is easier to store and doesn’t place an extra burden on the environment.
Dr. Aygen uses magnifying loupes and light during your treatment to increase his ability to view your teeth and the area being treated in ways that the unassisted human eye simply can’t. This allows for faster diagnosis and more accurate and precise treatment.
For many people, the sounds of the dental office can create or increase anxiety, especially the high-pitched noises created by certain tools used for cleaning or shaping teeth. We’ve found that wearing noise-canceling headphones can reduce stress and make treatment much more comfortable and pleasant.
Sarasota Dental Arts is embracing the fast moving trend of digital technology. 3-D printers and 3-D scanners designed for dental applications can help us offer easier and more comfortable procedures to our patients. Using a 3-D printed model can offer substantial cost reductions and shorten the time to make our dental appliances. Our 3-D printer has the ability to make high precision orthodontic models, retainers, implant surgical guides, whitening trays, night guards and more. We use FDA-approved resin to make your appliance faster and safer. The combined use of 3-D scanning and 3-D printing by dentists allows us to produce precise custom dental appliances in shorter amounts of time, thus increasing treatment efficiency and patient comfort.
Intraoral digital scanners are rapidly changing the way dentists take impressions, create crowns, and go about other common forms of dental restorative work. This new technology can save time, promote accuracy, improve communication, and enhance positive patient experiences. Intraoral digital scanners tend to produce accurate results the first time, which means patients appreciate that they’ll spend less time in the dental chair. Scanned images also show a lot more detail, and can better help better inform you of what is happening in your oral health.
