The Technology Protecting Your Smile
Have you ever wondered what’s happening beneath your gumline? While your gums may look fine on the surface, they could be hiding early signs of gum disease—issues that can lead to bigger problems if left untreated. That’s why we’re so excited about a powerful new tool we’re using to care for your gums: the Leica microscope. This advanced technology helps us detect gum disease at its earliest stages, allowing us to intervene sooner with precise, less invasive treatments that focus on protecting your health.
Keep reading to see how this innovative approach changes how we care for your smile.
Seeing Beneath the Surface
With the Leica microscope, we can see what’s happening beneath your gumline with incredible clarity. By taking a sample of the biofilm from under your gums, we can identify harmful bacteria that might otherwise go unnoticed. Catching these issues early allows us to intervene sooner, preventing problems like:
- Inflammation and bleeding gums
- Tissue and bone loss
- Systemic health concerns, such as heart disease or diabetes
This technology isn’t just about detection—it’s also about prevention. By acting early, we can protect your gums and help you maintain your teeth for life.
Advanced Technology, Personalized Care
The Leica microscope is just one of many innovative tools we use to provide the best care possible. From 3D imaging with the iTero scanner to laser treatments with the Fotona LightWalker®, our commitment to advanced technology ensures you get precise, comfortable, and effective treatments every time you visit. These investments in technology aren’t just about better results; they’re also about making your experience more comfortable and giving you confidence in your care.
