WE USE THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY

At Horizon Family Dental, we believe that exceptional dental care goes hand in hand with embracing cutting-edge technology. Our commitment to your well-being and satisfaction drives us to continuously integrate the latest advancements into our practice. By harnessing the power of state-of-the-art dental technology, we not only enhance our diagnostic accuracy but also provide you with more efficient, comfortable, and personalized treatment options.

3D X-Ray Imaging

Here at Horizon we use 3D X-ray Imaging Technology called Orthophos SL, which provides a detailed 3D replica of the entire maxillofacial structure, including teeth, bones, sinuses, blood vessels and nerves which provide enhanced visualization for the dentist.

Benefits of 3D Xray:

  • Helps to aid with wisdom tooth surgery

  • Planning precise dental implant placement

  • More predictable orthodontic outcomes

CEREC (Same day Crowns)

CEREC machines use 3D-imaging software to make a detailed replication of your teeth. The process begins with your dentist taking X-rays and photographs of your mouth with the CEREC machine, which uses the information received to create a 3D model of your mouth.

Once the 3D model and the areas that need to be restored have been highlighted, the machine will create the restorative piece from a ceramic block. The machine-created piece will then be color-matched to your natural teeth.

The CEREC machine usually completes the process within 20 minutes. While you wait, your dentist will prep you for the restoration placement. When the CEREC machine finishes creating the required part, your dentist will complete the restoration, and when they are done, they will provide you with tips on how to take care of the restoration.

  • Saves time – less time at the dentist office

  • Accuracy – replica will be almost identical to your real tooth

  • Reduces waste – only uses the needed amount of the material used to create the replica

Laser Technologies

When it comes to dental care our Horizon Family Dental, Dr. Cooper is  always looking for  new and improved ways of providing our patients with the best dentistry possible. One way that we do this is through soft tissue laser dentistry.

What are the benefits of laser dentistry?

  • A faster healing time

  • Less post-surgical bleeding

  • Less pain

  • Anesthesia may not be necessary
  • Lasers are sterile, which means there is less chance for an infection
  • Lasers are extremely precise, so less healthy tissue has to be removed
  • Less likely to need stitches with laser treatment

GBT Therapy

GBT removes 100% of the biofilm. Almost invisible to the naked eye, the biofilm develops daily and must be completely eliminated regularly since it is causing:

  • Cavities, bad breath, tooth loss, loss of implants
  • Gingivitis (gingival bleeding)
  • Periodontitis (inflammation/gum retraction, bone loss)
  • Increased risk of developing systemic diseases (Alzheimer’s, diabetes, heart and respiratory diseases, etc.)

Benefits of GBT Therapy:

  • Soft and painless tooth cleaning (for 95% of people) that adapts to all patients regardless of age
  • Does not damage teeth (reduced use of manual instruments)
  • Minimally invasive, efficient and fast
  • Helps detect cavities accurately
  • Removes stains and facilitates the removal of tartar
  • Prevents and treats gingivitis
  • Contributes to the treatment of peri-implantitis in a minimally invasive way
  • Helps maintain braces
  • Preserves exposed dentin to prevent the risk of sensitivity
  • The best professional dental cleaning available right now!
