Our brand-new office is full of the latest technological developments that improve dental precision
and increase your overall comfort. The latest methods are changing fundamental procedures and
producing new treatment opportunities. The ability to identify issues sooner, when they're small,
means less-invasive treatment and faster recovery times. Inquire today and see what these innovations
can mean for you!
Advanced Digital Imaging
At KC Family Dental, we have moved into the next generation of X-ray technology with digital imaging.
A sensor placed in your mouth allows us to capture an image directly into our computer. We can
instantly begin evaluating the state of your dental health at the bone level. Even better, the original
data can be easily stored and later overlaid with more current information to highlight treatment
progress and overall changes to your dental health. Not only does this method allow us more options than
conventional X-rays, but it does it all while exposing you to 75% less radiation than traditional captures.
Our panoramic X-ray machine also allows us to take a single image of your entire jaw, so we can see the
full structure for better evaluation and greater precision in treatment.
CEREC Single Visit Crowns
When dental crowns are needed, traditionally more than one office visit is required, along with a temporary crown while you wait for a lab to make your crown. The CEREC system offers instant digital scanning of your tooth (no impressions!) and the ability to mill a precise, natural-looking and long-lasting crownright in the office, most often in just one visit! In a smaller number of cases, a lab-produced crown will still offer the best result for you; we will work with you to choose the best option to fit your individual needs.
Three-Dimensional Dentistry!
At KC Family Dental, we are thrilled to be one of the first practices in our area to utilize a 3-D cone beam
CT digital imaging unit. This amazing three-dimensional X-ray offers excellent precision, is fast, and provides
low exposure to radiation. Three-dimensional X-rays allow Dr. Brent and Dr. Owens the advantage of diagnosing their patients
and evaluating their treatment options while clearly seeing their full anatomy as it exists. This promotes great
precision for dental treatment, particularly implant placements and any oral surgeries.
Intra-Oral Camera Makes You a Part of the Team
You want to make the most informed decisions possible in order to improve your dental health. Dr. Brent and Dr. Owens are making
this easier with the intra-oral camera. This high-tech device is a small-scale video camera that presents a
close-up picture of the interior of your mouth. You can now see for yourself what work needs to be accomplished
and which teeth are in great shape. You'll love how this works to make you an active participant in every dental
decision.
Nothing beats an easier, more comfortable dental visit. If you have questions about the
latest dental technology, give us a call today at (913) 220-2209.
