At Smyrna Dental Studio, we believe that modern, high-quality dentistry relies on a combination of compassionate care and state-of-the-art technology. We have invested in the latest dental advancements to ensure every diagnosis is precise, every treatment is comfortable, and your results are a new standard of excellence. Our technology isn't just about faster appointments; it's about providing you with safer, more predictable, and more convenient care.
We understand that visiting the dentist can be stressful. That's why we've carefully selected technology that enhances your comfort and trust. From digital scans that replace "goopy" impressions to 3D imaging that provides a crystal-clear view of your anatomy, our tools are designed with your experience in mind. This commitment allows us to be more precise, catch problems earlier, and plan complex treatments with unparalleled accuracy.
CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is a revolutionary CAD/CAM technology that allows us to design, mill, and place a permanent ceramic dental crown, inlay, or onlay in a single appointment. Using a clean digital scanner, we create a 3D model of your tooth, no messy putty impressions required. That model is sent to our in-office milling unit, which crafts your custom, high-quality restoration from a solid block of dental ceramic while you wait.
One Visit, One Appointment: What used to take 2-3 visits over several weeks can now be completed in about two hours.
No Temporary Crowns: You'll never have to wear a temporary crown that could be uncomfortable or fall off.
Incredible Precision: The digital design ensures a highly accurate and comfortable fit.
Beautiful, Lasting Results: The final ceramic restoration is metal-free, biocompatible, and blends beautifully with your natural teeth.
A Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) machine is our most powerful diagnostic tool. While a standard X-ray provides a 2D view, a CBCT scan generates a complete 3D, high-definition model of your teeth, jaw, sinuses, and nerve pathways. This gives us a 360-degree view of your oral structures that is impossible to see with the naked eye.
Enhanced Safety: For procedures like dental implant placement, we can map the exact location of nerves and bone, making surgery significantly safer and more predictable.
Accurate Diagnosis: CBCT imaging helps us find the source of complex pain, identify hidden infections in root canals, and assess bone quality.
Better Treatment Planning: It serves as a digital "roadmap" for complex smile makeovers, extractions, and implant-supported dentures.
Low Radiation: The scan is quick, painless, and emits a much lower dose of radiation than traditional medical CT scans.
The Prexon Explorer is an advanced, non-invasive diagnostic tool we use for early cavity detection. It uses harmless, high-tech laser fluorescence to scan your teeth for decay. This technology can find small, hidden cavities (caries) in the grooves of your teeth or beneath the enamel surface long before they would be visible on an X-ray or detectable with a traditional dental "explorer" tool.
Early, Proactive Treatment: By finding decay at its earliest stage, we can often treat it with a much smaller, more conservative (minimally-invasive) filling.
Painless & Non-Invasive: The scan is quick, involves no radiation, and is completely painless.
Preserves Your Natural Tooth: Treating a small cavity saves more of your healthy tooth structure than waiting until the decay is large and causes a toothache.
Accurate & Reliable: It provides a clear, objective measurement of decay, helping us monitor suspicious areas and act at precisely the right time.
