Precision & Comfort: Advanced Dental Technology
The dental field is constantly evolving, making dental visits faster and more comfortable and dentists more accurate than ever. Sacramento modern dentist Dr. A. Scott Grivas III and our skilled dental team use state-of-the-art tools and techniques to provide the most comfortable procedures and the most accurate results. Read this helpful guide to review all of the revolutionary advanced dental technology available at our practice, and learn how we provide the most comprehensive care for our patients.
Our Advanced Dental Technology
GALILEOS ComfortPlus
Our GALILEOS ComfortPlus 3D digital imaging technology provides the highest quality images and the most intuitive usage. It allows our advanced dentist in Sacramento to plan and complete dental implant placement, create precise Invisalign® alignment plans, and engage our patients in every step of their treatment process. With chairside monitors, you can view high-definition images of your teeth, jawbone, and facial structure alongside Dr. Grivas, so he can thoroughly explain and simulate your treatment process and results.
Digital X-Rays and Cone Beam Scans
Our advanced digital X-ray and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) technology provides detailed pictures that are instantly visible on a nearby chairside monitor. Dr. Grivas can rotate, color-code, and transfer these images electronically for patient convenience.
CBCT scanning is a breakthrough in dental technology that creates 3D X-rays, which show bone thickness, jaw structures, tooth relationships, root canal anatomy, and other vital information for planning in-depth restorative care. Plus, our techniques emit up to 90 percent less radiation than traditional machines, which protects our valued patients.
Soft Tissue Laser
Soft tissue laser technology enables us to perform many dental procedures in a more precise and comfortable manner. The highly-concentrated, low-heat energy beam minimizes bleeding by instantly cauterizing the treatment area, minimizing the need for sutures. The depth and extent of incisions are kept to a minimum, which means that healthy tissue can be left intact and unaffected by treatment. Dr. Grivas uses a soft tissue laser when performing several treatments at our Sacramento dental office, including periodontal disease therapy and cosmetic gum recontouring.
Intraoral Camera
The intraoral camera is a small, camera-tipped wand that helps us take a clear and precise image of your oral health. By inserting the wand into your mouth, we can take a video of your teeth and transmit the image to a nearby TV screen. This allows Dr. Grivas to point out any issues and explain his recommendations in a much more understandable fashion. With this technology, we can identify dental problems early on and provide timely treatment.
DIAGNOdent®
DIAGNOdent is an advanced electronic device that aids in the early detection of cavities. By using laser light, we can detect hidden changes in your tooth structure. This helps us identify cavities before they become larger and require more extensive treatment. With DIAGNOdent, we can provide faster and more effective treatment, ensuring a healthier smile for you.
CEREC® Restorations
Our CEREC machine is a state-of-the-art technology that enables us to provide same-day dental restorations. Using this machine, we can expertly mill dental crowns, inlays, or onlays right here in our Sacramento office while you wait. This eliminates the need for multiple appointments and the hassle of wearing temporary restorations. With CEREC, you can walk out the same day with a dramatically improved smile.
Piezo® Ultrasonic Scaler
In the fight against periodontal disease, our Piezo ultrasonic scaler is a big help. Its rapid vibrations effectively remove calculus, debris, and stains from teeth, leaving you with a smile that feels and looks great. This technology is much more comfortable than traditional scaling, and it enables us to provide a deeper, more thorough clean.
STA Wand
Some patients have a difficult time with injections. Thankfully, our STA Wand delivers a computer-regulated flow that provides immediate relief when an injection is necessary. With the STA Wand, we can provide a more comfortable and pain-free experience for our patients.
Vizilite®
Our specialized Vizilite light is an excellent tool for detecting potentially abnormal tissues that could develop into oral cancer. By passing the light over your mouth, our team can easily reveal any abnormal tissues that may be missed by the naked eye. This helps us identify oral cancer at an early stage and provide timely treatment.
