The Most Advanced Technology
Making dental choices can be overwhelming. At Steffen Dental we understand your concerns and we are investing our time in the latest technology and education in the field. This allows for a more predictable result.
3D Imaging and Graphics
As we discuss your treatment, it helps if you see what we can see. Whereas 2D graphics provide a first view of what is being looked at, 3D graphics are more realistic, adding depth, light and shadows. Allowing for a fuller understanding of what is being shown.
Digital Impressions
Both of these techniques ensure high accuracy when fabricating final restoration.
Lasers
Using lasers minimizes the discomfort some people experience and can promote faster healing. There are two types of lasers.
Soft tissue: This type of laser is used as a component of periodontal treatment and has the ability to kill bacteria and activate the regrowth of bone. It is also used in singular sculpting of gums around restorations.
Hard tissue: These lasers are used in the prepping or shaping of teeth for fills.
OralID
Uses a proven optical based technology shining a blue light (435-460 nu). It aids the clinician in visualization of oral cancers before they can be detected with the naked eye.
Digital X-Rays
Offer many advantages, which are rapid acquisition time, image enhancements and low radiation. Most importantly, they enhance images to help with clinical diagnosis.
Piezo Ultrasonic Scalers
Used to remove calculus rapidly from teeth surfaces in conjunction with hand instruments.
Electric Hand Pieces
Provides a faster, more precise and consistent treatment, providing greater comfort for the patient.
