'professional root canal therapy'

AI dental checkups utilize artificial intelligence and digital imaging to provide at-home or in-clinic oral health screenings, often through apps where users upload photos or use specialized robots for quick, contactless assessments. These AI tools function as screening and educational resources, identifying common dental problems to motivate users to seek professional dental care rather than replacing a dentist. They offer convenience by providing rapid assessments and can help bridge gaps in access to dental care

Laser dentistry uses focused high-intensity light beams to treat a variety of dental conditions with enhanced precision and accuracy for both hard and soft tissues, offering advantages like reduced pain and bleeding, less need for local anesthesia, and a more pleasant patient experience compared to traditional dental tools. It is used for procedures such as cavity treatment, soft tissue surgery, teeth whitening, and root canal sterilization

GBT (Guided Biofilm Therapy) is not about scaling teeth, but rather a protocol that uses scaling as a last resort; it's a modern dental cleaning approach that uses a disclosing agent to visualize and then gently remove dental biofilm (bacterial plaque) with air polishing, preserving enamel and ensuring patient comfort. If necessary, a minimally invasive ultrasonic scaler is used to remove any remaining hardened tartar deposits. GBT follows an 8-step protocol and is a more preventive, patient-friendly alternative to traditional methods like aggressive scaling and polishing.

Microscopic endodontics is a modern approach to performing root canal treatments and other endodontic procedures using a high-powered dental operating microscope. The microscope provides magnified, 3D, illuminated views of the inside of the tooth, enabling endodontists to detect subtle abnormalities like fractures or abnormal anatomy, thoroughly clean canals, and handle tissues with greater precision and detail than with traditional methods. This leads to more accurate diagnoses, higher success rates, and improved patient outcomes.

Implant dentistry involves using dental implants, which are artificial tooth roots surgically placed into the jawbone to support replacement teeth like crowns, bridges, or dentures. These implants fuse with the bone to provide a stable and natural-feeling base, restoring chewing function and improving appearance for patients who have lost teeth due to injury, disease, or other reasons. While implants themselves don't decay, good oral hygiene and regular dental visits are crucial to prevent gum disease (peri-implantitis), which can lead to implant loss.
