The Latest Dental Trends at Molldrem Family Dentistry
At Molldrem Family Dentistry, we pride ourselves on staying at the forefront of dental innovations to provide our patients with the best possible care. Here are some of the latest dental trends that we’re excited to offer.
Digital Dentistry
Digital Impressions and 3D Printing
Traditional dental impressions can be uncomfortable and time-consuming. Digital impressions, however, use advanced scanners to create a precise, digital model of your teeth in minutes. Coupled with 3D printing technology, this allows for the rapid production of dental restorations like crowns, bridges, and dentures, ensuring a perfect fit and faster turnaround times.
Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing (CAD/CAM)
Our CAD/CAM technology allows us to design and manufacture dental restorations right in our office. This means that many procedures that used to require multiple visits can now be completed in just one.
Minimally Invasive Techniques
Laser Dentistry
Laser technology has revolutionized many dental procedures, making them less invasive and more comfortable. We use lasers for a variety of treatments, including cavity detection, gum reshaping, and teeth whitening. Laser dentistry minimizes bleeding, reduces the risk of infection, and often eliminates the need for anesthesia.
Air Abrasion
Air abrasion is an advanced technique used to remove tooth decay and prepare teeth for fillings without the need for a traditional drill. This method is quieter, more comfortable, and preserves more of the healthy tooth structure.
Preventive Care Advancements
Salivary Diagnostics
Salivary diagnostics is an emerging field that uses saliva samples to detect a range of health conditions, including oral cancer and systemic diseases like diabetes. This non-invasive test can provide early detection and help us tailor preventive care to each patient’s needs.
Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF)
SDF is a topical treatment used to arrest tooth decay and prevent cavities from progressing. It’s particularly beneficial for young children, elderly patients, and those with special needs, offering a pain-free alternative to traditional cavity treatments.
Cosmetic Dentistry Innovations
Digital Smile Design (DSD)
DSD is a cutting-edge technique that uses digital imaging to create a virtual model of your smile. This allows us to plan and visualize cosmetic treatments, such as veneers and orthodontics, ensuring that the final results match your expectations.
Teeth Whitening Technologies
We offer the latest teeth whitening technologies, including in-office treatments and custom take-home kits. Our advanced systems provide faster, longer-lasting results with minimal sensitivity.
Orthodontic Advances
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners have become a popular alternative to traditional braces. These virtually invisible trays are custom-made to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. They are removable, making it easier to maintain oral hygiene and enjoy your favorite foods.
Accelerated Orthodontics
Accelerated orthodontic treatments, such as AcceleDent and Propel, use advanced devices to speed up tooth movement, reducing the overall treatment time. These technologies work alongside traditional braces or clear aligners to help you achieve a straighter smile faster.
Patient Comfort and Convenience
Sedation Dentistry
We understand that dental anxiety is a common issue. That’s why we offer various sedation options, including nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation, to ensure a relaxed and comfortable experience during your visit.
Tele-Dentistry
Tele-dentistry allows us to conduct virtual consultations, follow-up appointments, and emergency assessments. This convenient option saves you time and provides access to dental care from the comfort of your home.
