Digital X-Rays
At Guilford Smiles, we prioritize using the latest dental technology alongside advanced treatment techniques. Our practice is committed to providing you with safe, convenient care, which is why we use state-of-the-art digital x-ray technology.
Digital x-rays offer improved imaging options, saving time, delivering clearer images, and exposing you to less radiation compared to traditional x-rays.
Our team is dedicated to making your dental visits as comfortable as possible. We are always available to answer any questions you may have during your next appointment.
Intraoral Camera
Maintaining your dental health requires a strong focus on prevention, and we are constantly looking for better ways to help you achieve lifelong oral health. While X-rays are useful, they don’t always capture everything happening inside your mouth. With an intraoral camera, we can see detailed images of your teeth and gums, helping us detect issues like cracked teeth, plaque buildup, cavities near fillings, and excessive wear.
By identifying problems early, treatments are less invasive and more affordable. The intraoral camera is small, about the size of the mirror we use during your routine cleanings. It allows you to see what we see on a monitor, helping you understand your dental health better and make more informed treatment decisions.
E4D Dentist™
Our practice offers same-day restorations using the advanced E4D Dentist system. This system combines CAD/CAM technology to create inlays, onlays, full crowns, and veneers. Your restoration will be metal-free, made from high-quality ceramic that matches the natural tissue in your mouth. Using a handheld laser scanner, our dentists can capture accurate 3D images without messy powders or putty.
With the help of E4D DentaLogic software, we design a custom restoration, which is then milled and placed in your mouth the same day, allowing you to get back to your daily routine with a renewed smile.
Convenience, Speed, & Quality
The E4D system offers several advantages over traditional methods:
- Restorations are completed in one visit, eliminating the need for multiple appointments.
- You avoid temporary restorations, reducing the chance of discomfort.
- The tooth-colored ceramic restores the strength, beauty, and function of your teeth, closely matching the natural structure of your smile.
- Milled ceramic is stronger than traditional techniques, ensuring a durable, long-lasting smile.
Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry provides a more comfortable experience by allowing your dentist to deliver precise, efficient treatments with stunning results.
Benefits Of Laser Therapy
Laser treatments come with many advantages, including:
- Many treatments don’t require anesthesia, and recovery times are shorter compared to traditional methods.
- Laser treatments are more comfortable.
- The precision of the laser reduces the risk of bacterial infections.
Types Of Laser Dentistry
There are two main types of laser dentistry: hard tissue and soft tissue treatments. Hard tissue includes procedures like cavity detection, dental fillings, and improving tooth sensitivity. Soft tissue treatments involve gum reshaping, gum surgery, and enhancing muscle attachments.
Other procedures using laser technology include removing benign oral tumors, nerve regeneration, treating sleep apnea, teeth whitening, and addressing TMD.
