Dentistry continues to make amazing advances, due in large part to technology. Glendale dentist, Dr. Carlos Garcia, embraces the benefits technologies bring to his patients, when combined with experience, knowledge, and compassion. Here are some of the modern technologies you’ll find at Bright Smiles Dental Studio.
Diagnostic equipment
Digital x-rays
Low radiation/high resolution images . . . fast!
3D dental imaging
Sharp views from every perspective. These images aid in planning dental implant placement and other precision treatments.
Cavity detection
These devices use wavelengths of light to painlessly reveal tooth decay, long before it is visible to the human eye.
Magnification
Gives the doctor a clearer view during examination or treatment.
Intra-oral camera
About the size of a Sharpie, it provides panoramic images of the mouth.
Oral cancer screening
Soft tissue abnormalities show up early with this simple, noninvasive test. Dr. Garcia uses this advanced technique in combination with conventional physical mouth, head, and neck examination.
Treatment technologies
Computer-assisted anesthesia
The world’s most comfortable way to get numb for treatment. It is so precise that there is virtually no chance of collateral numbness.
Drill-free air abrasion
Tooth decay is removed with a gentle stream of air and particles. There is no heat, drill whine, pressure, or vibration. It preserves more healthy tooth structure.
Soft tissue laser
Laser therapy reduces bleeding and stimulates healing. In many cases, local anesthetic is not needed.
Cosmetics advances
Zoom! whitening
Professional strength whitening gel and light activation erase years of discoloration, quickly and safely.
CEREC
Ceramic fillings and crowns blend beautifully with your natural teeth. They are fabricated in-house in a single visit with our CEREC milling machine.
