Technology

3-D CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) imaging is an advanced diagnostic tool that provides a comprehensive, three-dimensional view of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures. 
This technology is essential for planning complex procedures such as dental implants, orthodontics, and root canal treatments. It helps us evaluate bone structures and the position of nerve pathways and sinus cavities for accurate diagnoses and effective treatment plans.

The benefits of 3-D CBCT imaging include enhanced diagnostic accuracy, improved treatment outcomes, and minimized risks during procedures. With CBCT, you experience a more efficient and thorough evaluation, leading to better-informed decisions about your dental care.

Laser dentistry is a leading-edge technology we use to perform precise and minimally invasive dental procedures using focused light energy. At Posh Smiles, we use this technology primarily for gum contouring and periodontal treatments.

For gum contouring, lasers enable Dr. Baftechi to reshape the gum line with exceptional precision, enhancing the appearance of your smile. In periodontal treatments, lasers effectively remove infected tissue and bacteria, promoting faster healing and reducing discomfort.

Laser dentistry’s benefits include less bleeding, reduced need for sutures, minimized discomfort, and quicker recovery times. Laser technology makes your treatments more comfortable and efficient, ensuring a better overall experience and optimal results.

Digital x-rays and sensors are advanced imaging tools that allow us to capture highly detailed, precise images of your teeth, gums, and jaws. Unlike the bulky clips used for traditional x-rays, digital x-rays use comfortable electronic sensors to capture precise images.

Enhancing and manipulating these images can identify issues not visible during a standard exam. Digital x-rays also expose you to significantly less radiation than standard x-rays, and the instant results increase efficiency.

Thanks to the detailed nature of digital x-rays, Dr. Baftechi can diagnose issues in their earliest stages and provide prompt treatment. Because we review your x-rays with you, you can better understand your oral health and treatment recommendations and make informed decisions about your care.

Digital impressions allow us to create precise, 3-D images of your teeth and gums without messy, goopy paste. This technology involves scanning your teeth with a handheld device, instantly capturing detailed images.

We use these scans to design crowns, bridges, aligners, and other dental restorations with exceptional precision and excellent outcomes. The benefits of digital impressions include greater accuracy, faster turnaround times, and a more comfortable experience.

Intraoral cameras are small, handheld devices we use to capture close-up, detailed images of the inside of your mouth. The images are displayed on a monitor in real-time, allowing Dr. Baftechi to quickly identify issues such as cavities, cracks, and gum disease that may not be visible to the naked eye. 

The benefits of intraoral cameras include improved diagnostic accuracy and enhanced patient communication. By seeing what Dr. Baftechi sees, you can better understand your oral health and the recommended treatments, making informed decisions about your care.

If you dread the idea of root canal treatment, you will appreciate our state-of-the-art rotary endodontics! This technology replaces the time-consuming process of using manual files with an electrically-powered instrument.

This technology can navigate the intricate pathways of the root canal system more effectively than traditional hand files. This ability means Dr. Baftechi can thoroughly clean and shape the canals, ensuring a more successful treatment outcome. The benefits of rotary endodontics include increased accuracy, reduced treatment time, and a more comfortable experience for patients.

Panoramic x-rays are an advanced type of imaging that capture a comprehensive view of your entire mouth in a single image. At Posh Smiles, we use panoramic x-rays to gain a complete understanding of your oral health and diagnose various dental conditions.

This technology involves a machine that rotates around your head, capturing detailed images of your teeth, jaws, sinuses, and temporomandibular joints (TMJs). Panoramic x-rays are particularly useful for planning treatments such as dental implants, Invisalign®, and tooth extraction. 

Nitrous oxide, also called laughing gas, is a safe and effective way to reduce your anxiety and ensure a comfortable dental procedure. We place a small mask over your nose, and as you inhale a mixture of nitrous and oxygen, you will start to feel very drowsy. The gas induces a feeling of calm and well-being, allowing you to remain relaxed while staying fully conscious and responsive. The drowsy effects dissipate quickly after we remove the mask, so after a few minutes of recovery, you can drive yourself home safely.

With digital records, we can store your dental history, treatment plans, x-rays, and other important information in a secure digital format. Digital records are easily accessible to our team and ensure our dentist has the necessary information to make informed care decisions.

The benefits of digital records include improved accuracy, easy access to your dental history, and enhanced coordination of care. This technology streamlines your visits, reduces paperwork, and ensures we base your treatment on the most up-to-date information.

At Posh Smiles, we offer noise-canceling headphones to enhance your comfort during dental treatments. These headphones block out the sounds of dental equipment, allowing you to relax and enjoy a more pleasant experience.

At Posh Smiles, we have TVs in our treatment rooms to make your dental visits more enjoyable and relaxing. You can watch your favorite shows or movies during your appointment, helping distract and entertain you while we care for your dental needs.
