Technology & Comforts in Scottsdale, AZ
At Desert Vista Dental, our team of doctors and staff members works hard to create a warm, comfortable atmosphere where patients can feel at ease. We’re dedicated to pursuing continuing education and new developments in the dental field whenever possible, which is why our two modern offices are outfitted with technology that’s designed to make your visits smoother, safer, and more successful overall.
When it comes to matters of oral health, many patients feel left in the dark. Intraoral cameras can be a big help in making your dental care with our team easier to understand. These pen-sized cameras are comfortably inserted into the mouth, sending crystal-clear images to a nearby monitor for easy viewing. This allows our doctors to identify problematic areas and explain potential treatment options with an informational visual, helping patients look forward to a better, brighter smile with more confidence.
Here in Scottsdale, AZ, our team is proud to offer your family an all-digital office atmosphere where dental care is convenient, safe, and exceptionally effective. In addition to digital radiography, we also utilize a state-of-the-art GALILEOs 3D Cone Bean Scanner to create panoramic, comprehensive representations of your mouth and facial structures. This is extremely helpful when our doctors need to observe the precise positioning of certain teeth and plan complex treatments like dental implant placement.
Most patients are definitely familiar with the traditional, “goopy” impression materials dentists use to create models for restorative and orthodontic procedures – in fact, you may have even gagged on it once or twice. At Desert Vista Dental, we’ve transformed this process for the better by incorporating digital impression technology with CEREC. In addition to improved comfort, our team doesn’t have to worry about accidental distortion or inaccuracy with digital impressions, which reduces the need for time-consuming remakes.
Instead of relying on traditional, invasive tools for soft tissue procedures, our team uses The Odyssey® Diode Laser to treat periodontal disease and remove excess gum tissue. With this technology, your procedure is so precise that we’re able to maintain more healthy tissue and keep bleeding at an absolute minimum – most patients don’t even need sutures! The instant sterilization of the laser also reduces the recovery period, all while helping patients remain comfortable and at ease.
Does the thought of visiting the dentist make you nervous or scared? Nitrous oxide is a safe sedation method that helps patients feel more relaxed and at ease during necessary treatment. The gas is administered through a mask that fits over the nose, and the calming effects should begin quickly. Once the mask is removed, you’ll recover just as fast, which means you can return to work, go back to school, or even drive yourself home without any inconvenient downtime.
