Did You Know that Oral Cancer is One of the
10 Most Common Cancers?
Nearly 30,000 cases are diagnosed each year, and because symptoms are easily overlooked, it has a high fatality rate unless it’s caught early. That’s why we insist on doing a complete oral cancer screening for every patient once a year. To ensure the most thorough exam, Dr. Braverman uses VELscope™, an FDA-approved screening system that uses a special blue-spectrum light to look for abnormalities. It’s fast, easy, painless, and, most importantly, could save your life.
Cosmetic Imaging Ensures the Most Informed Decisions
Committing to a plan for creating a new, brilliant smile can be a little scary. How do you know the results will be what you’re looking for? Because you are the most important part of our team, we provide the tools that allow you to make the best choices. Cosmetic imaging allows us to show you the effects of certain procedures on your own smile, taking guesswork out of the equation!
An Exciting Weapon for Fighting Gum Disease
Periodontal disease, or gum disease, can sneak up on you. The symptoms are easy to miss or ignore, and before you know it, it’s fully invasive. You may have heard stories about the pain and difficulty of treating gum disease. But we are thrilled to tell you about a fantastic treatment that defeats gum disease powerfully and without pain. Arestin™ comes in powder form and contains an antibiotic designed to kill the bacteria that cause gum disease. The antibiotic is time-released from tiny microspheres and attacks the bacteria where it hides in the pockets between teeth and gums. This delivery system means treatment is completely painless!
Your Teeth on TV, Up Close and Personal
You’ve probably heard of the little camera that is placed in your mouth to take video pictures of your teeth and gums. But did you know that the camera is not just for you to see? This technology actually helps Dr. Braverman do an even better job of checking your teeth. It can magnify the inside of your mouth more than 40 times. It helps Dr. Braverman find problems sooner, while they’re small. Isn’t that what a dental check up should be about?
For More Precise-Fitting Crowns
The Cadent iTero™ digital impression system is dentistry gone 3-D. With iTero, a laser light produces a highly accurate impression for your crown or bridge area, completely eliminating the uncomfortable tray and putty impression. What’s more, iTero technology all but guarantees a perfect fit for your new crown or bridge, so you spend less time at the dentist’s office and more time enjoying your new smile.
New Dental Imaging Reduces Radiation up to 75%
For a long time, traditional dental X-rays have been “good enough.” But with today’s modern dental technology, a more accurate diagnosis is required. Enter digital imaging.
The new dental imaging technology produces up to 75% less radiation than the older X-rays. Traditional X-rays are and always have been perfectly safe, but some people are nervous about the amount of radiation they may receive in the dental office. This new technology greatly reduces this concern.
Our panoramic digital imager takes a full X-ray of your entire mouth and jaw, giving us a complete picture of the underlying structures and individual teeth.
No Need to Fear Root Canals
Occasionally, infection or advanced decay (sometimes due to cracking or breakage) causes damage to a tooth’s roots. When this happens, one possible treatment is pulling the tooth. But losing a tooth can cause all kinds of problems, so we avoid that whenever possible by performing a root canal instead. New techniques and comfort measures make modern root canals very different from the ones of the past.
