Dental Technology

Dr. Todd does everything he can to provide the best for his dental patients. He uses a gentle and conservative approach and implements only high-quality materials in his work. To make the patient experience even better, he also uses advanced dental technology.

You should feel confident when you see us that you are going to enjoy pain-free, innovative dentistry. Rest assured that you will leave with beautiful results. Some of the technology we use daily at Butler Smiles Dental Care is mentioned below.

Diode Laser

This is a cordless laser that can fight gum disease painlessly. No more cutting or injections! The laser is effective and hygienic, and can instantly heal commonly seen issues including cold sores, blisters, and ulcers.

Non-Surgical Periodontal Care

Dr. Todd can reverse and control your gum disease without surgical measures. Our periodontal program includes ultrasonic scalers to clean diseased teeth. A scaling and root planing will remove bacteria and prevent future buildup.

L-PRF

Quick, healthy recovery is one of our main priorities as we treat our patients. If you are healing from an implant or an extraction, we utilize Leukocyte-Platelet Rich Fibrin, abbreviated as L-PRF. This dental technology utilizes a small sample of your blood to create a material that we place in your mouth over the dental wound. Since your body recognizes its own platelets, it will utilize that membrane to heal at exponential rates compared to regular healing times.

L-PRF is a quick treatment that is done right after a dental implant placement or tooth extraction, so you will heal faster with no added time in the office.

Digital X-Rays

Digital X-rays are a necessary new form of technology because they keep you safer. We are still able to get the detailed images we need to properly diagnose and treat your smile, but without overexposing you to radiation. The digital X-ray provides nearly 80% less radiation than its standard counterpart.

3D Cone Beam Scanner

With our 3D Cone Beam Scanner, we can plan for our procedures with greater accuracy and precision. This scanner allows us to see 3D images of your oral structures including your teeth, soft tissues, bone, and nerve pathways.

3Shape TRIOS Intraoral Scanner

We’re particularly excited about the TRIOS scanner. This piece of technology completely eliminates the need for uncomfortable molds by doing everything digitally. With striking accuracy, the TRIOS takes measurements of your mouth. From those, we can build a complete digital model of your mouth that can guide planned procedures and help us evaluate your treatment.

We hope you can experience the advantages of technologically advanced dental care for yourself. We invite you to contact our office and schedule an appointment at Butler Smiles Dental Care. We can assist you with any smile need!
