Advanced Technology for Your Dental Treatments
Cosmetic dentist Kevin Otteson DMD believes that advances in technology have allowed him to better treat his patients. At Otteson Family & Cosmetic Dentistry in Chandler, Arizona, we offer you dental services that utilize advanced technology. These systems help our team to better improve your dental health.
Sometimes life can get so busy, it's difficult to find time to schedule one dental appointment, let alone several. That is what makes CEREC (Chairside Economical Restorations of Esthetic Ceramic) an important part of Dr. Otteson's practice. The CEREC system enables Dr. Otteson to create your dental restorations while you wait.
Using this state-of-the-art equipment, Dr. Otteson can take molds of your teeth and create and place tooth-colored dental fillings, dental crowns, and porcelain veneers during one visit. This saves you the time of coming for a second appointment and the potential discomfort of having temporary restorations between visits. Don't wait for your restorations; come to Otteson Family & Cosmetic Dentistry in Chandler to get your dental work completed in one visit.
Missing teeth are more than just an aesthetic problem. If you are missing one or more teeth, you may experience more problems than just a gap in your smile, including:
- Shifting of remaining teeth
- Deterioration of your jawbone
- Change in your facial features
With a dental implant treatment, Dr. Otteson can restore both beauty and function to your smile. Dental implants are titanium rods that are inserted into your jaw to replace the root of your missing tooth. After the implantation process, Dr. Otteson will place a dental crown or fixed dentures to the implant, allowing you to speak and eat as if you still had your natural teeth.
Periodontal disease, or gum disease, can cause inflamed, irritated gums and even tooth loss. In advanced stages of periodontal disease , you may need surgery to repair the damage to your gums.
To better treat gum disease, Dr. Otteson studied to receive his Periodontal Therapy License and is a graduate of the Institute for Advanced Laser Dentistry. Through this advanced education, Dr. Otteson is qualified to perform LANAP, or Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure, which utilizes the PerioLase MVP-7 from Millennium Dental Technology. Dr. Otteson uses this soft-tissue laser to treat periodontal disease with less pain, bleeding, swelling, and recovering time than traditional gum surgery. Get your gum disease under control with the LANAP treatment at our Chandler dental office.
If you want whiter teeth, you don't want to wait a long time to see results and you don't want to deal with messy trays of paste and gels. By utilizing Zoom! teeth whitening technology from Discus, Dr. Otteson can safely whiten your teeth an average of eight shades in less than hour.
During your relatively quick in-office whitening treatment , you will be seated in a comfortable chair and can listen to music or watch television while your smile is getting brighter. The Zoom! whitening gel will be carefully applied to your teeth then treated with a special whitening light. At the end of your session, you will walk out of Otteson Family & Cosmetic Dentistry with a whiter smile.
X-rays are a typical part of dental care. However, traditional dental x-rays can miss developing problems and may not give your dentist the complete picture of your dental health. By using the Galileos Compact 3D digital x-ray machine by Sirona, Dr. Otteson is able to get a panoramic view of your mouth.
The Galileos Compact utilizes Cone Beam Imaging technology, which produces high-quality 3D digital x-rays with similar image results as those from a CAT scan, but without as much radiation. Employing this x-ray technology, Dr. Otteson can:
- Detect dental problems in their early stages
- Better plan dental procedures, including dental implants and CEREC restorations
- Keep a more complete dental record for you without having to expose you to additional radiation or worry about losing x-ray film
