Technology transforms nearly every aspect of our world. Just like other industries, the world of dentistry is becoming quicker, safer, and more accurate. As dental technology rapidly progresses, Petite Smiles invests in dental technology that supports our young patient’s development, needs, and comfort. We can improve our overall standard of kids dental care by actively selecting proven, world-class services. Here, we highlight a few advanced pieces of dental technology and services that Petite Smiles Boutique Dentistry in Lorton, VA offers:
One revolutionary dental invention is the intra-oral camera. This pen-sized digital camera is a conducive and comfortable tool for educating young patients and diagnosing pesky oral health issues. With our intra-oral camera system, our family dentist can capture images and videos of the surfaces of the teeth, gum tissue, and other challenging-to-reach areas of the mouth to better diagnose oral health conditions, like hairline fractures, cavities, and more.
Occasionally, x-rays are needed in children’s dentistry. During examinations, they help our dentist diagnose issues in the teeth and jaws, such as sneaky dental decay between teeth and beneath existing fillings.
Compared to their conventional predecessor, digital x-rays have a higher resolution, allowing Dr. Rashed to capture more precise and accurate images. Additionally, digital x-rays emit 70% less radiation exposure than classic film x-rays. To top it all off, digital x-rays are quick, which is ideal for wiggly young patients.
What is laser dentistry? Laser dentistry has been around commercially since the late 1980s. Over the decades, dentists have used powerful laser beams to treat many oral health conditions.
At Petite Smiles, we use pediatric laser dentistry to perform frenectomies for children with tongue ties and lip ties. During this revolutionary procedure, our Lorton dentist vaporizes unwanted soft tissue with powerful light energy so that the frenulum no longer pulls on your child’s tongue or lips.
Don’t waste your time and money on over-the-counter whitening products. Instead, try Zoom Whitening at our Lorton, VA dental office. Dental experts esteem Zoom whitening as one of the safest and most effective whitening procedures available on the market.
This trusted tooth whitening method combines a safe yet potent peroxide-based topical whitening gel and ultraviolet light to whiten all of your teen’s teeth simultaneously. Zoom Whitening works quickly and can lift several shades of external dental staining in as little as one session.
Top-notch dental care is for everyone, and our goal is for all children to wind up enjoying their dental visits (instead of dreading them). Even if the procedure itself isn’t fun, we strive to ensure that children (and their parents) feel unthreatened, confident, and at peace throughout the process. Our no-pressure approach helps young patients understand that going to the dentist isn’t scary, so we can help them stay healthy.
