New Technology
Dentistry Has Come a Long Way
It's time to reconsider the old stereotype of a trip to the dentist involving drills, multiple visits, pain, and discomfort. All of these things are no longer required to get the dental care you need to stay healthy, eliminate pain, and have a great smile.
Take a look at how far dental technologies have come in recent decades — and how Bensalem Smiles 4 U puts the very best of those advances to work for every patient who walks through our doors.
- Less drilling, fewer visits, minimal discomfort
- Procedures once requiring surgery now done non-invasively
- Cosmetic results that look and feel completely natural
- Anesthesia options available for needle-phobic patients
New Gum Procedures
Gums are extremely important to good dental health. Without gums fully covering the teeth, pockets can form that expose the tooth to bacteria from new positions, increasing the chance of other dental problems.
For many decades, there was little a dentist could do to reverse the loss of gums from problems such as gum disease — but things have changed dramatically. There are several recent methods for reversing gum damage, from bone and tissue grafts to installing membranes. There are even special proteins that stimulate the regrowth of gum and inner tooth tissue.
- Pocket reduction without traditional surgery
- Bone & soft tissue grafting options
- Root surface cleaning to eliminate hidden plaque
- Protein-based stimulation of natural gum regrowth
- Protective membrane barrier installations
Improved Veneers
Relatively common today, veneers are a dental procedure to help with the visual element of the teeth. A thin shell, specially made by the dentist for that patient, is made to cover the front of a crooked, damaged, or otherwise unappealing tooth.
Today, veneer materials have improved, making them stronger and more reliable and allowing them to be made thinner. This means that less of a patient's tooth has to be removed to make room for the veneer and that more of the original tooth is preserved — reducing the chance of pain and other complications.
- Thinner shells require minimal tooth reshaping
- Stronger, more durable materials than ever before
- More natural tooth structure is preserved
- Reduced risk of post-procedure sensitivity
- Custom-crafted for a perfectly natural appearance
No-Needle Anesthesia
Many of the methods for preparing a patient for a procedure are uncomfortable for some, whether it's being put under with full anesthesia or simply being injected with a numbing agent. Fortunately, those who hate needles may have nothing to fear.
A study by the University of Sao Paulo in 2016 considered a new possibility where a numbing gel is applied topically. The dentist then uses a small electric current to encourage full absorption of the numbing agent by the skin — delivering effective anesthesia without a single injection.
- Numbing gel applied directly to the surface
- Small electric current drives absorption through skin
- Eliminates the fear and discomfort of injection
- Research-backed — University of Sao Paulo, 2016
- Ideal for needle-phobic and anxious patients
