Dental Technology

We utilize advanced digital x-ray technology to enhance your dental care experience at Degenhardt Dental. Digital x-rays offer clearer, more detailed images of your teeth and gums, allowing for more accurate diagnoses and treatment planning.

 

This modern approach reduces radiation exposure by up to 90% compared to traditional x-rays, prioritizing your safety. The instant availability of these high-quality images on our computer screens facilitates better communication between you and our dental team, enabling us to explain your oral health status more effectively and involve you in treatment decisions.

 

Your Troy dentist uses leading-edge CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) imaging to elevate dental care. This advanced technology creates detailed 3-D images of your teeth, jawbone structure, soft tissues, and sinuses in a single scan.

 

CBCT imaging allows our dentists to visualize your oral anatomy from every angle, enabling precise treatment planning for complex procedures like dental implants, root canals, and orthodontics. With its exceptional accuracy, CBCT technology ensures safer, more effective, personalized treatments for our patients, tailored to their unique oral health needs.

 

 

At Degenhardt Dental, we offer state-of-the-art panoramic x-rays to provide comprehensive dental imaging. This advanced technology captures a full 360-degree view of your entire mouth, including all teeth, jaw bones, and surrounding structures, in a single image.

 

Panoramic x-rays enable our dentists to detect issues that might not be visible during a regular exam, such as impacted wisdom teeth or bone abnormalities. This broader perspective enhances our ability to create thorough treatment plans, ensuring we address all aspects of your oral health efficiently and effectively.

At Degenhardt Dental, we understand dental anxiety can be a barrier to oral health. That's why your Troy dentist offers nitrous oxide sedation, also called "laughing gas," to help our patients relax during procedures. 

 

This safe, gentle form of sedation is delivered comfortably through a small mask, inducing a state of calmness and ease. The effects wear off immediately after treatment once we remove the mask, allowing you to drive yourself home. With nitrous oxide, we can ensure your comfort, reduce anxiety, and make your dental visit a more positive experience.

 

 

At Degenhardt Dental, we prioritize your safety and privacy through our state-of-the-art digital record-keeping system. By securely storing patient information electronically, we ensure that your dental history, treatment plans, and personal data are protected from physical damage, loss, or unauthorized access.

 

Our digital records allow for instant, accurate retrieval of your information, facilitating better coordination among our dental team. This modern approach not only enhances the security of your sensitive data but also contributes to more efficient, personalized care during each visit.

 

Degenhardt Dental proudly offers advanced laser dentistry, revolutionizing the way we care for your oral health. This state-of-the-art technology allows us to perform a wide range of procedures with greater precision and comfort.

 

Laser dentistry minimizes bleeding, reduces the need for anesthesia, and promotes faster healing. From treating gum disease and detecting cavities to reshaping gum tissue and whitening teeth, our dental lasers provide gentler, more efficient care. Experience the benefits of this modern approach at your dentist in Troy, MI, which often results in shorter appointments and a more relaxed dental visit.

 

 

Rotary endodontics is an advanced root canal technique offered at Degenhardt Dental. This innovative approach uses electric and flexible nickel titanium hand tools to make root canal procedures quicker and more comfortable for patients.

 

Our skilled dentists can use these specialized instruments to eliminate tooth infections with greater precision and efficiency. The result is a less invasive treatment that reduces chair time, minimizes discomfort, and promotes faster healing, ensuring a smoother experience for our patients.

 

 

At Degenhardt Dental, we use the leading-edge iTero Wellness Scan as part of our new patient exams and follow-up care. This non-invasive, radiation-free technology produces highly accurate 3-D images of your teeth, gums, and jawbone, enabling precise treatment planning and early problem detection.

 

The iTero scan is instrumental in creating customized plans for cosmetic procedures like braces and Invisalign. It also aids in identifying issues such as gum recession and cavities through detailed measurements. By monitoring tooth and gum wear, we can proactively address potential problems, preventing sensitivity, decay, and tooth loss.
