Skye Dental

Technology

New dental technology and hi-tech diagnostic tools are changing the way that modern dentists operate. This new technology helps to demystify dentistry and allows you, the patient, to see what we see in order to understand, treat, and prevent dental disorders.

In our operatories, we use a self contained water system . This ensures that you are exposed to only the purest of water and our water lines remain free of contaminants. In order to protect our staff and our patients, our office uses universal precautions and employs a combination of hot and cold sterilization techniques. We go above and beyond, to ensure your safety, by enlisting an independent agency to closely monitor our techniques and ensure that these standards are maintained.

iTero Element 5D

Digital dentistry has arrived!  The iTero Element 5D imaging system is the first hybrid dental imaging system that simultaneously records 3D, intraoral color, and NIRI (near infra-red images).  This means that, in most cases, we don’t have to put goopy impression material in your mouth anymore.  You will appreciate it when we can streamline your Invisalign case or send your crown and implant case directly to the lab.

Digital X-Rays

90% less radiation than traditional x-rays, digital x-rays have made dentistry safer and more efficient. With enhanced software capabilities, we are able to enlarge, change contrast, take measurements- all making diagnosis easier and more accurate. Gone are the days when we squint to look at small film-based x-rays and tell you that you have a cavity. Now we can show you exactly where the cavity is in Hi-Definition!

Ultrasonic Scalers

Our ultrasonic scalers gently vibrate plaque and stains off your teeth while a fine water spray flushes the debris away.  We try to minimize the amount of “scraping” that is needed, resulting in a more comfortable visit for you.

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a cutting-edge imaging technology that creates detailed 3D images of the teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures. This advanced tool provides more comprehensive information than traditional 2D X-rays, allowing for improved diagnosis and precise treatment planning. CBCT is especially valuable for evaluating the airway and screening for sleep apnea, offering a clearer view of potential issues that may not be visible with conventional imaging methods.

Same Day Crowns

With our state-of-the-art CAD/CAM technology, we can design, mill, and deliver custom crowns in a single appointment. This innovative process eliminates the need for temporary crowns, and you only need to get numb once, making your visit quicker and more comfortable. Enjoy the convenience of a perfect-fitting crown without multiple trips to the office.

Biolase Soft Tissue Laser

Soft tissue lasers can replace a scalpel for many cosmetic cases. Healing time is much faster than traditional methods, and it is so comfortable that most of the time we don’t have to make you numb. We use our soft tissue laser for gingival recontouring and frenectomies.
