Advanced Dental Technology in Irving

Laser Dentistry

The doctors at 21st Century Dental of Irving keep up-to-date on laser technology. This is truly an emerging field that will have a tremendous impact on how dentistry is performed in the future. We use dental lasers to treat periodontal disease, gum recontouring, frenectomies, and for the treatment of aphthous ulcers, herpetic ulcers, and other mouth ulcers.

CT Cone Beam Scanner

Our CT cone beam scanner is another piece of technology that’s used regularly here at our Irving dental office. It allows us to capture detailed, 3D images of your jaw and bone structures, so that we’re able to better understand and diagnose hidden issues while also planning out treatments with exceptional accuracy. It’s safer, faster, and overall more accurate than traditional X-ray imaging, too! 

Digital Impression System & Intraoral Camera

We’re also excited to utilize two important pieces of iTero technology: our digital impression system and intraoral camera. With digital impressions, we can quickly and comfortably scan your mouth and use these 3D virtual images to create beautiful, custom-made dental restorations. And with our intraoral camera, we can show you everything going on inside your mouth and provide you with the exact, detailed, high-resolution view that our dentists have!

Air Abrasion

Air abrasion is used every day in our office. It allows us to prepare teeth for fillings with the need for any anesthesia or a drill, helping patients who may feel anxious about the sights and sounds of the dental office feel more at-ease.

Digital X-Rays

Digital X-ray technology improves and simplifies the way we care for our patients’ teeth, resulting in better dental evaluations and treatment decisions. The instantaneous, clear computer screen image allows us to immediately discuss the findings with our patients.

Digital Orthophos

We use this digital orthophos to take full-mouth digital X-rays every few years. Different from the small "tooth" X-rays we take periodically, this process will locate cysts, jaw fractures, cancerous lesions, and other abnormalities of the bone and tissues in and around the oral cavity. In the digital format, your radiation exposure is considerably reduced, and the image is without peer. What else would you expect from 21st Century Dental of Irving?

VELScope Oral Cancer Screening System

At 21st Century Dental of Irving, we ensure that no technology that will benefit the health of our patients will ever be out of reach. Every patient receives a free oral cancer screening! Why? Oral cancer kills one person every hour in the U.S., and this doesn't come close to the number who are physically debilitated.

Call us today if you have concerns about oral cancer. Remember that although tobacco and alcohol are the largest risk factors, this kind of cancer often occurs in those with no risk factors at all. You can't afford not to be checked!

Pulse Oximeter

"Sleep Dentistry" is an extremely relaxing method that we use when performing smile makeovers, instant orthodontics, and even less time-consuming cosmetic procedures. It is also used at any time someone wishes to be even more relaxed than what conscious sedation (laughing gas) can provide. It is important that we monitor your vital signs, such as blood pressure, pulse, and oxygen saturation, during these procedures, and this "pulse oximeter" is the latest technological advancement in this arena.

Isolite Isolation System

The revolutionary Isolite converges the functions of light, aspiration, and retraction into one streamlined tool that makes isolation quick, easy, and incredibly comfortable for patients. At 21st Century Dental of Irving, we are using Isolite to reduce procedure times by 20-50% while improving patient safety and staff fatigue.

Computers

We use digital record keeping systems and have a computer in every treatment room. This allows us to schedule appointments for you without having to wait at the front desk, making your visits more streamlined. Your treatment needs are always only a click away.

Radio Communication

To better serve our patients, we now use radio communication to pass along information to others in the office. This saves us from leaving you during procedures, cutting down on unwanted noise in the office.

Statim Autoclave

This reliable cassette sterilizer is fast enough to sterilize expensive dental handpieces and instruments between procedures – it can complete an unwrapped sterilization cycle in just nine minutes and a wrapped cycle in just 17.5 minutes. SciCan's Statim cassette sterilizers have a biological effectiveness that has been proven in tests for hollow and solid instruments at many internationally recognized institutes in Canada, the United States, and Europe.

Water Purity

We use purified water during your dental cleanings and procedures. So, you can rest assured knowing that the water we use is cleaner than the water you drink, bottled or not!
