Technology
iCat® Cone Beam technology provides a 3D digital tomographic view of the patient’s area of interest. A traditional x-ray is only two-dimensional. With iCat® Cone Beam systems, the doctor is able to get a full 360 degree view of the tooth and all surrounding areas. The 3D Cone Beam scanner provides nearly limitless views of the teeth while using less radiation than traditional medical CT technology. This new technology is fast, simple and painless, providing many wonderful benefits that were unavailable only a few years ago.
Simplant® Pro 3D Imaging provides the latest technology in computer guided surgery. Using a virtual 3-D model or a physical model, implant placements and the following restorative work can be simulated to create the ideal patient treatment plan. These virtual plans allow the doctor to take multiple aspects of implant placement and other restorative work into consideration, resulting in optimal aesthetics, function and longevity for the patient’s final restoration. Working with a 3-D model also allows patients to better understand the planned procedures and visualize the end result. Simplant® Pro 3D Imaging increases the accuracy, efficiency and safety and predictability of surgical procedures.
Dr. Kaner has extensive knowledge of and experience with multiple implant systems, so he is able to utilize the best implant system for each individual patient.
Implant Systems: Nobel Replace®, Nobel Active®, Zimmer Screw-Vent®, Biomet 3i™ tapered and straight Certain®, IDS Megagen® and Any Ridge®, Sybron Endopore®, Implant Direct Replant™ and Legacy™, and Dentsply Xive® and Frialit®
In addition to his expertise with multiple implant systems, Dr. Kaner also has extensive knowledge of and experience with guided surgery appliances for multiple implant systems, allowing him to expertly place the most appropriate implant for each patient. Guided implant systems help to reduce surgical complications by simulating the ideal patient treatment plan. These virtual plans allow Dr. Kaner to take multiple aspects of implant placement and restoration into consideration, resulting in optimal aesthetics, function and longevity for the patient’s final restoration. Working with a 3-D model also allows patients to better understand the planned procedures and visualize the end result.
The use of specialized magnification loupes means that the doctor is able to get a detailed look at the work they are doing during all phases of your treatment. The additional magnification and illumination allow them to work with great precision and see the smallest details to more accurately diagnose and prescribe treatment.
Digital x-rays reduce the amount of radiation needed as compared to film x-rays. The improved diagnostic capability of digital x-rays and the ability to view the x-rays on a computer screen allow the patient to better understand and follow treatment. Digital x-rays are instant, there is no longer a need to develop the film. Digital x-rays save time and increase patient care. It’s also a very green technology. By eliminating film, developer and chemical waste it is better for you and the environment!
An intraoral camera combines the latest video technologies with dental care. Both the patient and dentist can see detailed images of the teeth and mouth in real time. With an intraoral camera, you are able to better understand what is happening in your mouth and review the status of your oral health.
Oral cancer affects thousands of Americans yearly. We use the latest technology to detect changes in oral tissue consistencies and/or lesions. A UV light is shined into the mouth to detect unhealthy tissue. Healthy tissue looks lighter under the light while spots of bad tissue appear dark. With early detection, cancer may be caught before it has time to spread, potentially saving lives.
Are used for periodontal (gum) and osseous (bone) surgery. These handpieces are gently and meticulously used to remove harmful bacteria without requiring invasive measures.
Vibraject is a unique technology that helps to alleviate anxiety usually associated with the needles used for local anesthesia. Using gentle vibrations, Vibraject helps to provide painless, stress-free injections by masking the pain of the injection. Patients often do not even realize that they have received an injection at all.
The Isolite™ System increases patient comfort during dental procedures with a special mouth piece made of soft material. The mouth piece gently retracts the tongue, protecting the patient’s soft tissue during treatment, while providing the dentist with adjustable lighting and easily controlled suction.
