New Dental Technology In City Of Shimla

The array of dental procedures available at dentists has been growing almost exponentially over the last decade as new technology opens up the possibility of dentistry and cosmetic dentistry. New technology and new equipment means that even many standard procedures can now be carried out quicker and safer, and most importantly, less painfully.

Standard dental treatment for gum disease and dental decay is still top of the agenda for most dentists but improvements in treatment have made even this easier for patients. The old-style silver amalgam fillings have been replaced by the safer, tooth coloured dental bonding fillings, which work just as well but do not ruin the appearance of teeth. Other classic dental restorations such as crowns and veneers have been revolutionised by new technology such as digital x-rays and computer-aided manufacture. The rise of chair-side restoration means that crowns and veneers can now be designed, manufactured and fitted in a single appointment, an incredible leap forward and an idea of the potential future of dentistry.

Dental lasers have also been introduced over the last few years replacing many surgical implements such as the dreaded scalpel. Lasers can be used to sculpt gum tissue, harden bonding and even in the cavity filling and root canal treatments to replace the dentist drill. The many advantages of lasers include the sterilisation effect of heat which reduces the chances of infection and speeds recovery.

All of this new technology and much more is being used to improve dental treatment to make treatment better for the patients. If you have not visited a dentist for some time it is a good idea to make an appointment to see what new possibilities there are to improve the appearance and condition of your teeth.

Drill-less Dentistry : Air Abrasion

Air abrasion is a drill-less technique that is being used by some dentists to remove tooth decay and for other applications.An air abrasion instrument works like a mini sandblaster. During air abrasion, a fine stream of particles (made of silica, aluminum oxide, or a baking soda mixture) is aimed at the decayed portion of the tooth. Small particles of decay on the tooth surface are removed as the stream of particles strikes them. The particles of decay are then "suctioned" away. Air abrasion is mostly suitable for shallow cavities that are still in an early stage of decay.


Compared with the traditional drilling method, the advantages of air abrasion are many and include the following:

* Air abrasion generates no heat, sound, pressure, or vibration.
* Air abrasion reduces the need for anesthesia, particularly if the cavity is shallow.
* Air abrasion leaves much more of the healthy tooth tissue behind.
* Air abrasion leaves the working area relatively dry, which is an advantage during the placement of composite fillings.
* Air abrasion reduces the risk of microfracturing and chipping of the tooth, which some experts believe can lead to premature restorative failures.
* Air abrasion allows the dentist to treat multiple sites in the mouth during a single visit.
* The procedure is relatively simple and quick.

But Air Abrasion has a few Disadvantages:

* Air abrasion is not necessarily totally painless. The air can cause sensitivity and so can the abrasives used.
* Air abrasion is not recommended for deep cavities (those close to the tooth's pulp). It is best suited for removing small cavities that form early on the surface of teeth.
* Only composite filling material can be used following air abrasion because it adheres well to the smooth surface created by the air abrasion (amalgam or silver fillings require drill-based cuts to prevent the filling from falling out).

Air abrasion can also be used to:

* Remove some old composite restorations, but not metallic restorations such as silver amalgam fillings
* Prepare a tooth surface for bonding or sealants
* Remove superficial stains and tooth discolorations

Air abrasion is ideal for use in children and others who are fearful and have minimal decay.They seem to be the best candidates for drill less procedures.

A Power Tool for Dentistry

There are so many exciting and obvious benefits to cosmetic imaging, that it has become commonly accepted as a powerful tool in dentistry. Of course, how you incorporate cosmetic imaging into your practice will depend upon your own needs and practice philosophy. Cosmetic imaging is not just for "selling" cosmetic cases. It is a powerful diagnostic and treatment planning tool whose benefits should not be overlooked.

Professional image editing software: Many dentists have heard of PhotoShop and PhotoShop-like programs. These are image editing programs used by graphic artists. They have no dental related interface or link capability. Typically, these are incredibly sophisticated programs with capabilities far beyond dental-specific software. But with the proper knowledge of the tools they can easily and precisely accomplish all dental treatment simulations. Such programs, with a trained person at the controls, are especially well suited to creating realistic simulations.In fact, if desired, it's actually possible with just a click of the mouse to import each image created by these programs into the modern practice management system's image database. In any case, these programs can manage their own images with unbeatable ease.

Combining professional software and made for dentistry: But learning to use a professional imaging program can be a daunting task. Creating a meaningful smile library formatted to use for pasting into simulations can be incredibly time consuming. Software programs like Digital Dentist is simply a fast track training system designed to teach you how to use one of the most powerful image editing programs in the industry today, Paint Shop Pro. Digital Dentist combines the program with dental specific training and a library of ready-to-use smile designs.Our imaging module provides the software tools to perform simulations of intended aesthetic and restorative treatments. Cosmetic Imaging allows both the patient and dentist to visualize the appearance and functional benefits of proposed treatment recommendations from simulating a simple tooth whitening procedure to a full mouth rehabilitation.

Dermal Fillers: Cosmetic Dental Procedure

More and more cosmetic dentists are now offering small scale cosmetic facial procedures as part of an overall smile makeover. After all, the mouth and facial tissue surrounds your smile and every beautiful picture needs an equally beautiful frame. Sagging facial tissue and wrinkles can now be combated by a range of dermal fillers including collagen and hyaluronic acid. These fillers firm and fill facial tissues providing a healthier and fuller appearance that enhances a beautiful smile.

Dermal fillers, like all cosmetic surgery, were once the sole preserve of the rich and famous but they are now increasingly affordable. This greater availability has removed some of the stigma attached to cosmetic enhancers and having a dermal filler injection is now no more unusual than having a haircut.

If applied by a trained professional dermal fillers carry little or no risk and because treatments are only temporary any risk of permanent damage due to bad treatment is reduced. Most of the common dermal fillers use compounds such as hyaluronic acid which already exist naturally in the body, further reducing the risk of a bad reaction to treatment. Hyaluronic acid is the substance in the skin that gives it a plump and healthy appearance.

Treatment are usually carried out under a local anaesthetic to make it more comfortable, and for those who don’t like needles this can be applied by using an anaesthetic cream applied half an hour before. The whole procedure should take little more than half an hour from start to finish and will involve no surgical cutting of skin or tissue. Results usually begin to show after a couple of days and can last up to four months before a top up treatment is required. Ask your dentist about dermal fillers and you could have a healthy and full looking frame for your smile.

Lasers For The Perfect Smile

Incredibly, dentists have been using laser treatment for over 15 years. Despite some early skepticism the industry is coming to realize that lasers may have a key part to play in the future of dentistry. Their accuracy and all round benefits mean they are becoming ever more popular in dental treatments.

Dentists use lasers for a variety of purposes. They can be used to remove decay and prepare a tooth for a filling and then used to cure or harden the filling itself. They can also be used to reshape gums and remove bacteria during root canal procedures. Other uses include removing small amounts of tissue for biopsy, especially useful in the fight against cancer, and to activate agents in tooth whitening procedures.

Lasers work by delivering energy in the form of light and can be used to cut or vaporize tissue as well as acting as a catalyst for other treatments. They are particularly useful as they can often minimise the pain and anxiety felt by patients and also reduce swelling and bleeding during dental treatments. Also because of the high levels of heat used there is often a reduced risk of post-procedural infection as the laser acts as a sterilizing agent.

Lasers are an innovative and precise dentistry tool that more and more dentists are using because of the obvious advantages to both themselves and dentists. Ask your dentist about laser treatment and take the pain out of your trip to the dentist.For more information on dental lasers please call goma dental on 177-645-0704.
