Technology

At Dentistry at East Piedmont, we pride ourselves on having the latest and most up-to-date dental technology as possible.  Below are some of the Technology we have in our Atlanta office that will make your visit the most comfortable visit possible. 

STA™ System  Painless Anesthetic

The Single Tooth Anesthesia (STA™) System from Milestone Scientific is the first computer-controlled local dental anesthetic system where just one injection at a single tooth is all that's needed to scientifically, safely and predictably ensure single-session injection precision. It's even highly effective for multi-quadrant cases.

STA is the only system of its kind with patented real-time visual and audible feedback technology, allowing you to easily obtain proper needle placement between the tooth and bone.

CEREC -  One visit Crowns

You have a big filling that needs replacement. Do you have to get a full crown? Not necessarily. A more conservative option, inlays and onlays fit into a tooth similar to a filling, yet they are milled restorations, much like a crown. The bumps on top of a tooth are called cusps. Inlays fit between cusps, while onlays fit over one or more cusps. Inlays and onlays allow a patient to retain more natural tooth structure, which is always best.

Not every situation is right for an inlay or onlay, but the dentist will assess your problem and determine the best solution for you. Because they are created in our Atlanta office with CEREC technology, inlays and onlays require only one appointment. During your visit, we will prepare your tooth by removing decay or old fillings and cleaning the area. We will take digital impressions and use the CEREC machine to create a custom inlay or onlay for you. CEREC restorations are metal-free and will blend seamlessly with your natural tooth color. Once the restoration has been fabricated, the dentist will cement your final inlay or onlay into position. After final polishing and modifications to ensure proper bite alignment, you'll enjoy your stronger, healthier smile for years to come.

Steps for making a Cerec crown:

1. Dr. Patel will numb the tooth
2. Dr. Patel will capture image of tooth using the computer
3. Dr. Patel will mill out a crown
4. Dr. Patel will bond it into place
