Digital X-Rays

Digital radiography is one of the most technologically advanced products available to the medical field today. While traditional systems are effective, there are many features of digital X-ray machines that help create a better overall image of your mouth. Not many dentists have taken advantage of this technology and are still utilizing traditional radiography technology.  Dr. Nina Kiani has implemented this technology into our New York, NY dental practice in order to provide a better level of care to our patients.

 

Traditional X-ray systems are being surpassed by digital radiography technology. While this old technology was very effective for a number of years, it is slowly becoming nonexistent in the medical field. Digital X-Ray technology has many benefits:

 

• Safety – this technology is much safer for patients because they emit roughly 80 percent less radiation than traditional systems
• “Going Green” – instant imaging removes the need for harmful chemicals that are used to develop images
• High Quality – the images Dr. Kiani receives from this technology are much higher quality, allowing him diagnose previously unseen issues
• Less Waiting Room Time - since Dr. Kiani doesn’t have to take time to develop images, your procedure time is considerably shorter

 

In addition, thanks to the improved, higher quality images provided by digital X-rays, Dr. Kiani is able to diagnose patients more effectively. Early detection is the best way for you to avoid potentially invasive, costly dental procedures that wouldn’t have been necessary if the symptoms were found earlier. 

Dental Bridges

Bridges

Dental bridges are one of many dental procedures performed here in our Nina Kiani, DDS, PC dental office. Bridges help to replace missing teeth by using an abutment where the missing tooth is, as well as crowns over the adjacent natural teeth to create a tether for the bridge and provide more stability.

 

Among the options for missing teeth, bridges are one of the more popular choices because they are less expensive and take less time to complete than dental implants. We encourage everyone with missing teeth to replace them with bridges or another option.

Here are some of the main benefits to getting bridges for missing teeth:

• Less expensive than dental implants.
• Restore the patient’s smile.
• Allow our patients to speak and chew normally.
• Prevent potential bone loss and shifting of the teeth.
• Maintain the shape of our patient’s face.

Dental bridges take about 2-3 weeks to complete, starting with impressions of the natural teeth for the missing tooth, and preparing the adjacent teeth for fitting crowns over them. The bridge takes two weeks to be fabricated in the lab, and a temporary can be worn during this time.
