Visiting a cosmetic dentist can help you have the smile you’ve always wanted. Cosmetic dentists are specifically trained to improve the appearance of your teeth, gums, and bite, as well as address issues that can affect confidence, like gaps, discoloration, and alignment issues. However, it’s not just about aesthetics. Many cosmetic treatments can improve your overall dental health as well by addressing issues that can increase your risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Taking pride in the appearance of your smile has also been shown to help patients be more diligent about oral hygiene and scheduling regular dental visits.
Dr. Iana uses state-of-the-art dental technology and the latest techniques to provide exceptional care, making Glint an ideal choice for anyone looking for a dental practice that’s dedicated to their overall well-being.
Choosing a technologically advanced dental office means the treatments and procedures you’ll receive are designed to provide better results and a more comfortable experience. Technology like digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, laser treatments, and 3D imaging is far more effective than the equipment used in the past and offers more accurate diagnostics, less discomfort during treatment, and quicker healing times.
At Glint, we utilize the best dental technology in the market. Our technology includes 3D scanning, Prime Scan for same-day crowns and onlays, iTero digital intraoral scanner for wellness and Invisalign treatments, and AirFlow hygiene units. Even our dental chair units are fully technological for the best performance and experience.
The Sirona Axios CBCT offers the widest range of fields of view, allowing us to better diagnose and plan treatments for any concern, including breathing issues. The Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) technology provides a high-resolution 3D image of the entire mouth, jaw, nasal, and throat areas, including soft tissue and nerves. This allows us to assess bone quality accurately for dental implants, map out sensory nerves, determine the right implant size, and prevent sinus penetration for safe and predictable treatments.
The CEREC Primescan and Primemill milling unit allows us to create single-unit restorations such as crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers in a single visit, potentially eliminating the need for temporary prostheses and multiple appointments. With its advanced technology, the CEREC Primemill can produce precise, high-quality crowns in as little as 5 minutes. It can also mill multiple-unit restorations from a wide range of materials.
Airflow treatment is a type of dental hygiene treatment that uses compressed air, water, and fine powder particles to gently remove stubborn stains, plaque, and bacteria from your teeth and gums without disrupting your enamel layer. This highly effective treatment is suitable for natural teeth, restorations, and most importantly, implants.
The iTero intraoral scanner provides quick, accurate, and comfortable digital impressions without the discomfort of physical molds or impression putty. The scanner uses a compact, hand-held wand to capture the structure of your teeth and gums, which is then used to create a 3D impression. This whole process takes as little as two to three minutes. We use the iTero scanner for wellness checks as well as Invisalign treatment.
Sirona Dental Treatment Centers provide numerous benefits to both patients and dental providers. These advanced dental chairs prioritize your comfort and positioning with an ergonomic design and premium upholstery. Integrated technologies like the intraoral camera, medical grade monitor, and SIDEXIS software facilitate clear communication between you and your dental provider, enhancing the overall treatment experience. These treatment centers also emphasize infection control with easy-to-clean surfaces and removable, autoclavable instruments to ensure you receive safe and hygienic treatments in a sterile environment.
