Intra-oral scanner (Primescan)

The Primescan is an intraoral scanner that takes very accurate digital impressions. Digital impressions are faster and more comfortable than traditional wet impressions. In addition, digital impressions can be saved in the patient’s record for future use. 

Intraoral camera

Oleynik Dental uses an intraoral camera called MouthWatch. This camera gives us the ability to show cracks, cavities, or other issues in the mouth with incredible detail. These digital images are then saved into the patient’s chart for future reference. 

Digital implant planning and guided implant placement

After acquiring a digital impression and 3D x-ray, the location of the implant can be planned digitally. This plan is then used to create a surgical guide which allows for extremely precise placement which prolongs the life of the implant and prevents complications. This technology also makes the procedure faster for the patient. 

Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous oxide provides light sedation which allows patients to relax while dental treatment occurs. During the procedure, the patient inhales a gas mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen through a rubber nose piece. Patients often describe the experience as a tingling in the arms and legs followed by a floating sensation.

Nitrous oxide is the safest form of sedation. After the nose piece is removed, the effects will begin to wear off within 5 minutes. 

Panoramic X-ray

A panoramic x-ray is an advanced x-ray that is able to show the upper and lower jaw in addition to the temporomandibular joints and the sinuses. This type of x-ray is very helpful in identifying issues that may not be present in normal x-rays.

The panoramic x-ray can be used to accurately evaluate the position of the wisdom teeth and diagnose jaw disorders.

Digital X-Rays

Digital x-rays emit less radiation than standard film x-rays. In addition, the images can be enhanced which makes diagnosis much easier.
