Dental Technology – Matthews, NC
Greater Treatment Precision, Longer Lasting Results
At More Dentistry, you can see our commitment to tailored, genuine, and patient-focused care, but there are so many additional layers to your care that you may not see. Dr. More utilizes leading-edge dental technology in Matthews behind the scenes to make precise diagnoses, ensure you spend less time in the treatment chair, and help you recover faster. We invite you to learn a little more about the amazing technology we use during your exams and procedures below to understand how big of a difference it can make!
Planmeca Pro Max CBCT
When it comes to treatment planning, cone beam CT scanners like our Planmeca Pro Max truly revolutionized the field. This digital imaging device can create a 3D, highly detailed blueprint of your entire facial anatomy, showing Dr. More your jawbone density as well as the location of your facial nerves and sinuses. With this information, our team is able to complete procedures like dental implant placement faster and with greater accuracy.
Digital X-Rays
Our office has been using digital X-ray technology for years now, exposing our patients to much lower levels of radiation than with outdated film X-rays. Additionally, digital X-rays are immediately viewable to our team after they’re taken, making your examinations faster and more streamlined.
iTero™ Element Intraoral Scanner
Our iTero intraoral scanner allows our dental hygienists and team to take a closer look at areas of your mouth that are harder to see with the naked eye. We can also take still images of teeth to monitor them throughout the year, which is helpful if the early signs of decay or teeth grinding present themselves. The scanner works excellent as a patient education tool as well, allowing Dr. More to provide you with a visual resource to help you better understand the need for treatments and diagnoses being made.
Biolase Soft Tissue Laser
Our Biolase soft tissue laser can be used to provide gum disease treatment as well as cosmetic procedures with pinpoint precision. It emits a small, concentrated beam of light that can vaporize soft tissue as well as kill harmful oral bacteria, helping improve the health of gums and prevent disease progression. The laser also cauterizes the area, leading to less post-operative bleeding and discomfort as well as shorter recovery times.
VELscope® Enhanced Oral Assessment
When we conduct our oral cancer screenings, we use an advanced device designed for early detection, called the VELscope Enhanced Oral Assessment System. It’s a small, handheld scope that shines blue light on oral tissues, allowing for the easy identification of abnormal areas of the mouth that may not even be visible to the naked eye. If found early, survival rates of oral cancer are much higher, so we make sure we don’t take any chances when it comes to your health!
Neodent® Dental Implants
Neodent is the brand of dental implants that we use at More Dentistry. These screw-shaped implants are designed to replace the missing root structure of your teeth, and they’re made to allow for better treatment predictability, consistent results, and high success rates. For over 30 years, Neodent has been revolutionizing the dental implant procedure, which is why they’re our trusted provider.
Versah® Burs for Implant Placement & Osseodensification
Dr. More utilizes Versah bur kits to perform both dental implant placement as well as sinus lifts due to their exceptional quality. Versah utilizes evidence-based technology to offer supreme, worldwide patented equipment to help dentists optimize their procedures. These burs are engineered to rotate at 1,000 rpm through a hydrodynamic process, using water to irrigate the treatment area as Dr. More is operating. This leads to less trauma and a more comfortable patient experience.
