Advanced Dental Technology & Services Alexandria

Intraoral Camera

Our Intraoral Digital Imaging utilizes a small camera to navigate the oral cavity and capture individual photos of the teeth, facilitating detailed discussions of findings and prognosis with patients. Similar to digital X-rays, these intraoral cameras offer enhanced visualization of teeth and gums, with the ability to enhance captured images. Additionally, this technology allows us to project the images onto a computer screen in real-time, enabling patients to see precisely what we’re observing. This interactive approach enhances patient understanding and engagement, ensuring comprehensive dental care.

Digital X-Rays

With Dexis Digital X-rays, we provide a full set of detailed tooth and root X-rays on the computer in 10 minutes or less, facilitating quick diagnosis and patient education. These digital X-rays offer minimal radiation exposure, prioritizing patient safety. By digitizing our X-rays, we have increased efficiency and readability, eliminating chemical processing and enabling us to enhance on-screen images for more accurate diagnostics. This technology allows us to deliver precise information faster than ever before, ensuring optimal care for our patients. If a patient requires more complex imaging like a CT scan, we can refer them to a local oral surgeon's office or radiology facility.

The K-7 Evaluation System for Jaw Function

Dr. Mazhari uses the K-7 Evaluation System to thoroughly assess the function of your jaw joints, muscles, and the surrounding tissue. Using electromyography and joint sonography, she can pinpoint with great accuracy where a problem might exist. By displaying enlarged jaw tracking on a computer screen, the K-7 enables us to observe the movement of the lower jaw (mandible) in relation to the upper jaw (maxilla). This comparison between baseline measurements (prior to treatment) and a healthier state of movement and comfort is essential for addressing TMJ-related issues effectively.

iTero Element 5D Plus

Our iTero Element 5D swiftly scans the entire dentition and analyzes the bite in just 7-9 minutes, offering a comprehensive assessment. It provides before-and-after visualizations of dentition and facial changes, tracks the progress of the bite over time, and accurately detects issues like cavities, fracture lines, and thinning of the teeth. With precise digital imaging, it enhances treatment outcomes for Invisalign aligners and dental implants, while fostering clear communication through real-time 3D images. The iTero can also simulate what the outcome of a patient’s orthodontic treatment will be and what steps will provide the best oral health and longevity.

TENS Unit

We utilize a TENS unit to relax facial muscles and alleviate pain associated with conditions like TMJ (temporomandibular joint) dysfunction. By stimulating muscles and nerves in the face, TENS therapy promotes relaxation and reduces discomfort, providing non-invasive relief for our patients. This approach effectively addresses muscle tension and restores proper function to the TMJ, enhancing overall comfort and well-being.
