Dr. Kelley Mingus’s practice offers the latest and greatest dental technology to ensure his patients receive the best possible care. Cutting-edge technology is essential to Dr. Mingus’s practice as it provides useful information for both diagnosis and treatment. With the use of 3D X-rays and intraoral scanners, patients can receive a more accurate diagnosis and treatment plan resulting in a precise and effective treatment.
3D X-Rays
Dr. Kelley Mingus’s practice is proud to offer state-of-the-art 3D X-ray technology to perfect the diagnosis and treatment of each patient. 3D X-rays provide a much more detailed image of the mouth which means that the dentist can more accurately diagnose and map out a treatment plan for the patient. This technology is essential when it comes to dental implants. 3D X-rays can provide the dentist with information about the bone structure and density of the jaw bone, which is essential to a successful dental implant procedure. In addition, the dentist can diagnose any cavities in a more accurate manner than with conventional 2D X-rays.
Intraoral Scanner
Intraoral scanners are an invaluable tool when it comes to the diagnosis and treatment of oral health. These small, handheld scanners can create a clear image of the teeth, gums and structures in the mouth. This tool provides a much more detailed view than traditional methods. The scanning unit can be rotated to different angles to capture better images of the structures of the mouth. The detailed images can be used to show issues and problems with the oral health in real-time, as the images can be reviewed immediately on a computer screen. This means that the dentist can better educate the patient about the condition of their teeth and what treatment options are available to them.
Electric Handpieces
Dr. Mingus’s office is equipped with the very latest electric handpieces available in the dental industry. These handpieces are much quieter and provide a much more precise performance than traditional handpieces. The precise performance of these handpieces means that the drilling can be done with a much more delicate touch than with traditional handpieces. This results in a more comfortable procedure for the patient as less pressure and noise is required. The electric handpieces can be used for general dental procedures such as fillings, root canals, and dental implant surgeries.
Soft Tissue Lasers
Soft tissue lasers are becoming more popular in the dental industry due to their many benefits. These laser devices can be used for a variety of oral health procedures, such as removing decayed and damaged dental fillings, crowns and veneers. The soft tissue laser can also be used for gum treatment and contouring, as well as removing tissue that may be causing issues for adult teeth that are emerging. All of these procedures would typically be painful, but with the use of the soft tissue laser they are virtually painless. This laser technology can also be used for a variety of diagnostic purposes such as detecting oral cancer and decay in the teeth and gums.
Conclusion
Dr. Kelley Mingus’s practice is fully equipped with the latest dental technology available in the industry. 3D X-rays, intraoral scanners, electric handpieces and soft tissue lasers are all used in the practice to provide the most accurate diagnosis and precise treatment for patients. This technology is essential in the ever-evolving field of dentistry and has allowed Dr. Mingus and his team to significantly improve patient care and experience.
