We have advanced technology to address the various treatments required by our patients.
At the Franch-Adriaens Clinic, we are committed to using the most advanced technology to guarantee our patients accurate diagnoses, efficient treatments and predictable results. We embrace digitalization at every stage of our procedures, enabling us not only to obtain higher-resolution and quality images but also to significantly reduce radiation exposure, thereby protecting our patients’ health.
3D Evaluation with Cone Beam Technology
Our 3-dimensional evaluation technology (Cone Beam) is a fundamental tool in modern dentistry. This technology allows us to obtain detailed images of the teeth, bones, and surrounding tissues, facilitating accurate diagnoses and thorough treatment planning. With 3D image-guided surgery, we can perform advanced procedures with an unmatched level of precision, increasing the guarantee of success and minimizing risks during surgical interventions.
Benefits of Cone Beam:
- More accurate diagnosis: By visualizing the complete structure in 3D, we can detect issues that may not be visible in conventional X-rays.
- Detailed planning: We can plan complex treatments, such as implant placement, in a personalized manner for each patient.
- Increased safety: The precise visualization of the treated area reduces risks during surgeries and improves the predictability of outcomes.
One of the most notable benefits of our cutting-edge technology is the reduction of radiation exposure by up to 90% compared to conventional imaging methods. This is achieved through the use of digital radiography, which not only minimizes the risks associated with radiation but also offers greater diagnostic accuracy by allowing image manipulation and enlargement. This provides us with detailed information about cavities, bone levels, root anatomy, and potential lesions that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Digital X-ray: Accurate and Fast Information
Digital radiography offers us a clear and detailed vision that is essential for diagnosing and treating various oral conditions. Thanks to this technology, we can identify:
- Hidden cavities, such as those that develop between teeth or beneath restorations and crowns.
- The condition of the bone and its relationship with the gums and teeth, which is crucial for planning periodontal treatments.
- Root anomalies, such as cysts, tumors, or fractures, that are not visible to the naked eye but can have significant implications for oral health.
Additionally, digital X-rays allow for instant sharing of results with patients, providing them with a clearer understanding of their oral health and the necessary treatments.
Intraoral Scanning: 3D Digital Smile Design
One of the most revolutionary tools in our clinic is the intraoral scanner, which captures an exact reproduction of the patient’s mouth and smile in high-resolution 3D images. This process not only eliminates the need for traditional molds, which are often uncomfortable for the patient, but also offers a number of benefits:
- Comfort and precision: The intraoral scanner allows us to obtain an exact representation of the patient’s smile without the invasive impression methods using material.
- Result simulation: Thanks to digital design technology, the patient can visualize the final outcome of the treatment before it begins, providing reassurance and confidence in the process.
- Treatment speed: The digitalization of the process significantly reduces waiting times both in treatment planning and in the fabrication of restorations, allowing for a more efficient start and completion of the treatment.
- Greater understanding and acceptance: As it is a more visual technology, the patient better understands the diagnosis and the steps we are going to follow. This makes the treatment easier to understand and, therefore, has greater acceptance. The patient feels more informed and confident about the process.
CEREC: Customized Prosthetics in One Session
One of the biggest advances in digital dentistry is the CEREC system. This CAD-CAM (Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing) system allows us to design and manufacture high-quality dental prostheses in a single session, eliminating the need for multiple office visits. The CEREC system offers a modern alternative to conventional prostheses, allowing the creation of:
- Dental crowns
- Onlays e inlays
- Aesthetic veneers
All of these elements can be made from a wide variety of highly durable and aesthetic materials, ensuring that each restoration is not only functional but also visually flawless.
Advantages of Digital Dentistry with CEREC:
- Reduced waiting times: By fabricating prosthetics on the same day, the patient can receive their treatment quickly and effectively.
- Absolute precision: Digital scanning and design ensure that the prosthetics fit perfectly in the patient’s mouth, minimizing the need for adjustments afterward.
- Comfort and efficiency: The patient experiences a simplified, comfortable process with fewer visits to the dentist.
