At East Madison Dental Englewood, using the most advanced dental technology possible and staying up-to-date on the latest treatment techniques is critical to providing the highest quality of care to our patients. Because our Englewood, NJ practice is dedicated to providing patients with the safest, most effective, and most comfortable dental treatment options available, we've invested in the latest dental technologies like digital x-rays, digital impressions, 3D scanning, 3D printing, and more!
Your visit to East Madison Dental Englewood may include dental technologies like:
Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays provide several advanced imaging options designed to save time, provide clearer dental photos, and expose patients to less radiation than traditional X-ray technology. At East Madison Dental Englewood, our practice is focused on making your dental experience as comfortable as possible, including our fast, non-invasive digital X-Rays!
Diagnodent Laser Cavity Screening
Diagnodent is a revolutionary method of locating even the smallest areas of tooth decay and cavities. By using the advanced Diagnodent technology, our dentists at East Madison Dental Englewood can treat small cavities and areas of tooth decay before they become bigger oral health concerns that may require multiple dental procedures.
Diagnodent is comfortable and takes only a few short minutes to scan your entire mouth for cavities and decay. Detecting tooth decay as early as possible helps eliminate the number of costly treatments that you may need down the line and helps treat small problems before they become serious dental cases. Not all cavities are noticeable without the help of the advanced Diagnodent laser — this laser helps locate even the smallest areas of decay.
Intraoral Camera
While X-rays provide valuable information, they don’t always provide a complete view of everything that is going on inside your mouth. With the use of an intraoral camera at East Madison Dental Englewood, our dentists can see every aspect of your teeth and mouth with incredible detail, uncovering cracked teeth, plaque deposits, cavities next to fillings, and excessive wear. When we can discover oral problems early on, your treatment is much less invasive and much more cost effective.
Our intraoral camera is small, about the size of the mirror we use during your regular hygiene appointments. You probably wouldn’t even notice we’re using it, except that with the intraoral camera, you have the opportunity to see everything we see on a monitor. This is a great tool to help you become more informed about your dental health, as it gives you a clear understanding of your teeth’s condition, and it allows you to make a more informed decision regarding your treatment options.
Digital Impressions with iTero
When it comes to taking dental impressions at East Madison Dental in Englewood, our patients don't have to worry about goop, gagging, or discomfort! Using the iTero digital scanner, your dentist can take a highly accurate digital impression. The new technology completely eliminates the tray and putty impressions, which many patients find unpleasant and often results in taking multiple rounds of impressions that can be rejected, broken, or misplaced.
The iTero scanner ensures a more accurate impression from the start, resulting in improved treatment and a more comfortable patient experience. Digital impressions give you the ability to see your teeth instantly in 3D, improving communication during the consultation and treatment process.
With digital software, our patients are able to follow the progress of the scans, including a 3D model of your teeth on our computer screen. The iTero scanner can be used for any restorative treatment including crowns, veneers, inlays/onlays, bridges, and implants, as well as orthodontic treatments like Invisalign®.
CEREC Same-Day Restorations
East Madison Dental Englewood is your local CEREC dentist for same-day, single-visit tooth restorations.
CEREC is a technology for restoring damaged teeth, and this restoration can be completed in a single visit to the doctor's office. It makes your teeth stronger and more beautiful, all while keeping your teeth looking natural. The restoration is metal-free, and the high-grade ceramic material is compatible with the natural tissue found in your mouth.
During your appointment, you and your doctor will discuss the details of the procedure and your doctor will answer any questions you may have. Your doctor will then use a special 3D imaging camera to take a photo of your tooth. Using CEREC's proprietary software, your restoration will be designed according to your tooth's appropriate form and function. Then, CEREC will use diamond burs to create your restoration out of a piece of ceramic. Finally, the ceramic restoration is bonded to your tooth using state-of-the-art adhesive dentistry.
With CEREC, there is no need for a temporary crown, eliminating significant potential discomfort. The strong, tooth-colored ceramic materials of CEREC restore your teeth to their natural strength, beauty, and function, and closely match the composition of your natural tooth structure.
