Enhancing Care with Modern Dental Technology

At Art of Modern Dentistry in Chicago, we are dedicated to providing exceptional dental care by integrating the latest technological advancements into our practice. Our commitment to utilizing state-of-the-art equipment ensures that our patients receive efficient, comfortable, and precise treatments.​

What is Dental Technology?

Before explaining the technology we use, let’s first answer this question.

Modern dental technology includes the new tools, equipment, and methods used in dentistry. These help improve oral health care. This includes the design, creation, and use of dental prostheses, such as crowns, bridges, dentures, and orthodontic appliances. It also includes diagnostic and therapeutic devices like digital imaging systems and laser treatments.

By integrating these advancements, dental professionals can provide more accurate diagnoses, effective treatments, and improved patient experiences.

Our Technology – A Brief Summary

Air Abrasion: Drill-Free Dentistry

Air abrasion offers a gentle alternative to traditional dental drills for removing tooth decay. This technique uses a stream of fine particles to eliminate decayed material. This reduces discomfort and preserves more of the healthy tooth structure. Patients often appreciate the noise-free and minimally invasive nature of air abrasion.​

Arestin: Targeted Periodontal Therapy

For patients battling periodontal disease, Arestin provides a powerful solution. This antibiotic powder is applied directly into periodontal pockets, effectively targeting and reducing harmful bacteria. Incorporating Arestin into periodontal treatment plans can enhance healing and prevent disease progression.​

Digital Dental X-Rays: Enhanced Diagnostic Imaging

Our digital X-ray systems offer high-resolution images with significantly less radiation exposure compared to traditional methods. The immediate availability of these images allows for prompt diagnosis and treatment planning. That has the effect of streamlining your visit and ensuring timely care.​

Intraoral Photography: Visualizing Oral Health

Intraoral cameras capture detailed dental images of the interior of your mouth. These images provide both you and our dental team with a clear view of your oral health status. These visuals aid in diagnosing conditions, planning treatments, and enhancing patient education.​

OraVerse: Anesthesia Reversal

Experiencing prolonged numbness after dental procedures can be inconvenient. OraVerse is an innovative solution that accelerates the return of normal sensation following the use of local anesthesia. With OraVerse, patients can resume their daily activities without the lingering effects of numbness.​

The Wand: Comfortable Anesthesia Administration

The Wand is a computer-controlled system designed to administer local anesthesia with precision and minimal discomfort. By controlling the flow rate and pressure of the anesthetic, The Wand ensures a more comfortable patient experience. That is especially beneficial for patients with dental phobias.​

Velscope: Advanced Oral Cancer Screening

Early detection of oral cancer significantly improves treatment outcomes. The Velscope system utilizes fluorescence technology to identify abnormal tissues that may not be visible to the naked eye. This quick and painless screening enhances our ability to detect oral health issues at an early, more treatable stage.​

ZOOM! Laser Whitening: Brighter Smiles in Less Time

For those seeking a whiter, more radiant smile, our ZOOM! Laser Whitening system offers remarkable results. This advanced technology accelerates the whitening process, allowing patients to achieve noticeable improvements in tooth color during a single visit, all while minimizing sensitivity.​

More Details – Answers to a Few Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does The Wand improve the experience of receiving dental anesthesia?

Unlike traditional syringes, The Wand delivers anesthetic at a precise rate and pressure. That results in a more comfortable and less intimidating experience for patients. This technology is particularly beneficial for those with dental anxiety related to injections.​

2. What are the benefits of using air abrasion instead of traditional dental drills?

Air abrasion is a minimally invasive technique that uses a stream of fine particles to remove tooth decay. This method often removes the need for anesthesia. It also lowers the risk of tiny fractures in the tooth. Plus, it keeps more healthy tooth structure than traditional drilling.

3. How does OraVerse help in reversing the effects of dental anesthesia?

OraVerse is a medication that accelerates the return of normal sensation following dental procedures that require local anesthesia. It helps by increasing blood flow to the affected area. This helps patients regain normal function faster and reduces numbness.
