Technological Advances at Dentist of Northridge
At Dentist of Northridge, we embrace various technological innovations to enhance our dental
services. Here are a few examples of the advanced technology we employ:
Air Abrasion
Air abrasion serves as an excellent alternative to the
traditional dental drill. It is particularly effective for removing staining, discoloration, and
treating small cavities. This gentle technique employs a stream of air and aluminum oxide particles
to remove stain and decay. The process is performed with a rubber dam and high-speed suction to keep
your mouth free of debris. Air abrasion is often done without anesthesia, reducing the time spent in
the dental chair. However, it may not be suitable for larger cavities.
Intraoral Photos
The intraoral camera, resembling the size of a pen, provides a detailed view of your teeth and soft
tissues. By capturing images, we gain a better understanding of your oral structures, allowing for
accurate diagnosis of conditions like cracked teeth or oral cancer.
