Avalon Dental - Office Technologies - Fort Myers, FL
Dr. Dilling places a great deal of value in the advancements made in dental technology. Listed below are some of the technologies used at Avalon Dental.
Your smile is the first thing people notice about you! When your smile looks good, you feel good. Dr. Dilling promotes the best combination of preventative care, restorative techniques and a variety of natural looking fillings to help you achieve the smile you deserve. Modern bonding, veneers, porcelain crowns, and teeth whitening are common techniques available at Avalon Dental. Please see our adult braces page for more details.
Dr. Dilling also offers options for adult orthodontics:
- Six Month Smiles is an exciting new procedure that is being offered by Dr. Dilling at Avalon Dental! Six Month Smiles is a modern twist to conventional orthodontics, or braces. Adult cosmetic braces is an alternative to traditional comprehensive orthodontics for adults who are concerned with the appearance of their front teeth. The entire treatment is generally complete within 6 months!
- Invisalign takes a modern approach to straightening teeth, using a custom made series of aligners created for you and only you. These aligner trays are made of smooth, comfortable, and virtually invisible plastic that you simply wear over your teeth. Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place. There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten. You simply pop in a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks, until your treatment is complete and you acheive the confident smile that you've always wanted.
Digital Images
Digital x-rays - In the Avalon Dental office we use Schick Digital X-rays. Schick is a digital X-Ray system accepted by the American Dental Association Product Acceptance Program with many benefits, including:
• Less radiation, and less exposure
• Instant on screen images
• Instant large image viewing on computer monitor screen
• Magnification of selected areas is available to support early diagnosis
• Increased Patient Comfort from traditional bite wings
Panoramic x-ray - We utilize a panoramic x-ray machine to provide us with a full and accurate picture of your teeth and the inter-relationships of their positioning.
Intraoral cameras - Have you ever wondered what the dentist finds in your mouth? Dr. Dilling uses an intra-oral camera, projecting a close-up picture of your mouth on a private computer screen. Healthy teeth and potential problem teeth are pointed out. Together, you and Dr. Dilling discuss the steps necessary to get your dental health on track. Rave reviews have made this technology a favorite for patients of all ages.
Laser Dentisry
The Diode Laser is a painless alternate to scalpels and stitches! Laser light is used to sterilize and/or remove unwanted soft tissue that used to be removed by a scalpel. No stitches. No bleeding. No pain. A true dental "magic wand".
When when taking impressions for crowns, bridges and invisalign
Some benefits you can expect with an iTero impression:
-
Comfort: If you have ever had a conventional impression taken, you know just how uncomfortable the process is. The putty is messy, tastes extremely unpleasant, and in many patients, can cause gagging. With iTero, the only thing that touches your teeth is the tip of a hand-held want.
-
Greater Speed: The digital impresion is complete in approximately three to five minutes.
-
Accuracy: The iTero digital impression system creates an exact replica of what is in your mouth. This results in a more accurate-fitting crown or bridge.
No extra cost to the patient!
