Digital X-Rays

The advancements in dental technology have now made it easier for dentists to deliver efficient care and diagnoses to their patients. One such advancement is digital x-rays, which are becoming a staple in dental practices all over the country. We at All Coast Dental are always looking to stay up to date with the latest technology, products, and treatments. Digital x-rays allow us to look more closely at your teeth than we ever have before!

A digital x-ray takes an image of your teeth and puts it into an imaging program. With special tools exclusive to this imaging program, your dedicated California dentist can take a closer look at your teeth with impeccable accuracy. Digital x-rays emit eighty percent less radiation than a standard x-ray since they are actually sensitive to radiation. This is a great benefit to the patient since the patient is exposed to less radiation. Digital x-rays can be classified as intraoral (inside the mouth) or extraoral (outside the mouth), though intraoral x-rays are the most commonly taken.

Intraoral x-rays allow your us to:

- Observe the status of developing teeth

- Monitor tooth health

- Look at the tooth roots

- Find cavities

- Check the health of the bony area around the tooth

- Determine if there are signs of periodontal disease

All Coast Dental is located at 2180 Garnet Ave., Suite 1-K, in Pacific, CA 92109. For more information about digital x-rays or to schedule an appointment, please visit allcoastdental.net or call 858-270-4904.

 

Laser Treatment for Gums

At All Coast Dental, we take pride in offering the best technology available to our patients, and have seen great results for the treatment of periodontal disease with the diode laser. Patients experiencing every stage of gum disease can see improvement from laser treatment.  The diode laser is so effective in periodontal treatments because it can target unhealthy gum tissue and leave healthy tissue undisturbed. The precision that can be achieved with a laser results in less trauma to the mouth and less recovery time.

In the past, periodontal treatment was completed using more aggressive tools and often required stitches. With a diode laser, treating only the affected gum tissue and not damaging any healthy gums is more efficient and causes little to no bleeding, which means less swelling after the procedure.  Patients often find the laser procedure relatively painless, so less and sometimes no anesthetic is needed.  Please contact us to improve your oral health with a laser treatment for your gums!

SOL Soft Tissue Diode Laser

Gum disease is detrimental to oral health. It can spread infection, cause the loss of teeth, and cause a great deal of pain. At All Coast Dental, we know fighting gum disease is essential for our patients’ oral and overall health. That is why here in our Pacific Beach, CA office we utilize the SOL soft tissue diode laser.

Updating technology is what allows us to provide the best and latest treatments. The latest in gum disease treatment is laser therapy. To treat gum disease, the bacteria that have taken over must be eliminated. We now use the soft tissue laser together with the traditional scaling and root planing procedure to remove tartar deposits below the gum line and better eliminate the bacteria that causes gum disease.  Using a laser may result in less swelling, bleeding, post procedure sensitivity, and tissue damage.  Healing time is also often reduced.

When it comes to gum disease, taking the proper precautions to avoid it and fighting it with the right tools is essential for bringing back your oral health.
