CT SCAN

Applied Digital Technology for Better Diagnosis, Planning and Precision. 

The Cone Beam is used in many dental procedures. It can be used to determine a treatment plan for dental implants, helping determine size and placement of the implant. It can also be used to diagnose and treat periodontal disease.
Some additional benefits include:
•Implant planning

• Earlier detection of oral infections and tumors

• Impacted teeth

• Periodontal disease

The health and safety of our patients is our highest priority, which is why we utilize a cone beam imaging system in our office. Unlike traditional x-ray systems, the Cone Beam system produces a very low dose of radiation, thus reducing unnecessary exposure. As a new patient to our practice, we like to start by getting to know you better.
Some additional benefits of cone beam imaging include:
• Visualize anatomy that cannot be diagnosed externally or from traditional x-rays

• Create better, more effective treatment plans

• Assess benefits and risk of treatment options
• Analyze the position and orientation of critical structures, such as nerves and maxillary sinuses, prior to the procedure

• Up to 10x less radiation exposure to the patient than traditional x-rays

• Faster scan time (10-40 seconds vs. several minutes)

• Less expensive

PIEZOSURGERY

The Most Precise, Gentle Bone Graft and Sinus Graft Available.

WHAT IS PIEZOSURGERY?

Piezosurgery is a recently developed system for cutting bone without damaging soft tissue using ultrasonic micro-vibrations. Developed for use in Oral Surgery, Implantology, and Periodontics, this innovative technology allows doctors to perform procedures that were not previously possible.

LASER GUM SURGERY

The No Cutting, No Sewing & No Fear Alternative for you.

Have you been told that you should have your gums treated through a surgical process?

You may be worried about the discomfort that is sometimes associated with this type of procedure. Many patients are concerned that they will feel uncomfortable during advanced gum treatment. If you are one of them, you will be excited to learn about the benefits of the LANAP® laser protocol.The LANAP® protocol is a proven laser gum treatment used in the Northern Virginia area by Dr. Abril.  This revolutionary state of the art is becoming a preferred method of gum surgery among many patients.When periodontal disease begins to affect a person’s mouth, the health of the gums and underlying bone can suffer. Many people who have been diagnosed with gum disease experience bad breath, gum recession, bone loss, and tooth loss. However, they do not always get treatment because of the fear that it will hurt.
