Technologies at Dental Arts on Essex

Something you may never had thought of before is the cleanliness of the air you breathe inside your dental office. Now, you will never look back.

Dental offices are high-traffic spaces that produce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the dental materials used and the constant use of disinfectants and dental instruments. Of equal concern are the bio-aerosols created during various dental procedures. This “cloud” of bio-aerosols carries viruses and bacteria (lately COVID-19 of particular concern), all around the dental office. These microscopic cells can linger in the air for hours and multiply as the day goes on.

This is why it is absolutely essential that we do not take clean air lightly. At Dental Arts on Essex, we have invested in the best-of-the-best when it comes to YOUR air. Our office has three separate Surgically Clean Air (SAC) towers to ensure your ultimate health and safety. Surgically Clean Air is not your standard air purifier or HEPA filter. The SAC system is a surgical-grade indoor air cleaning system that used in thousands of surgical operating rooms across the country. It is equipped with a robust, multi-stage filtration process that uses visual sensors for real-time air quality monitoring and captures 99.998%* of airborne particles down to 0.1 microns. It then uses an additional “layer of security” by purifying the air with UV-C light bulbs to kill pathogens.

On average, you take 20,000 breaths each day, 90% of which are of indoor air. During your time with us, you can be at peace with the air you are breathing. As Surgically Clean Air says themselves, Breath Pure. Breathe Healthy.

According to the American Cancer Society, there are about 54,000 new cases of oropharyngeal (oral cavity) cancer each year, resulting in just over 11,000 deaths. Although the average age for oral cavity cancer is in the mid-sixties, there have been several cases of occurrence in our younger population as well. With the rise in HPV (human papillomavirus) infections and its connection to oropharyngeal cancer, the prevalence of oral cancer has risen. This makes proper detection methods more important than ever!

What sets us apart:
OralID ™ is a small, painless light that uses fluorescence technology to aid in the visualization of oral cancer, pre-cancer, and other abnormal lesions. Every single patient, new and existing, receives an OralID ™cancer screening examination in our office.

CEREC® is a state-of-the-art method for dental reconstruction that uses computer-assisted design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) to offer single-day restorations for our patients. No longer do you have to suffer through messy impressions and unsightly, uncomfortable temporary crowns.

Instead, we will take a digital impression of your tooth with our Primsescan Intraoral Scanner, design your new restoration with impressive software right in front of your eyes, and create it in-house with our milling machine. Using an intraoral scanner instead of impression materials allows for an incredibly accurate fit and using milled ceramic (a stronger form of porcelain) allows for a longer-lasting and more durable restoration.

One of our favorite features of CEREC technology is our ability to copy the existing shape and size of your current tooth, making it easier to fit into any night guards, retainers, or existing dental appliances that you already have!

In our office, you can go home in your gorgeous, final crown in under 3 hours!

It’s been five minutes (but feels like an eternity), you’re starting to drool down your bib, and that putty material the dental assistant claimed was mint, isn’t tasting so minty anymore… sound familiar? Nope! Not at Dental Arts on Essex! In most instances, your dentistry can be done with an entirely digital workflow. From restorative treatment, to aligner therapy, to implants, and much more, with an intraoral scanner, we are able to say goodbye to the dreaded impressions forever.
Trust us when we say that we sympathize with our anxious patients! Thankfully, Dental Arts on Essex is happy to offer ultra-quiet electric handpieces for your dental treatment. These handpieces vibrate much less than traditional air-driven dental drills, which consequently means they put out much less noise. Electric handpieces are also much more efficient in tooth preparation, making for quicker visits. Both factors are a win-win for making your restorative visits more comfortable and enjoyable.
The best way to understand dentistry is to see for yourself! Instead of expecting you to understand a black and white x-ray, we are now able to show you exactly with your mouth looks like with intraoral photos! At Dental Arts on Essex, we believe firmly that you should be an active player in your dental health. In order to feel empowered to do so, we feel you should know exactly what is going on in your mouth and how it affects your entire body. With detailed photos and our thorough approach, you will no longer feel like you are “in the dark” when it comes to your mouth.
With digital intraoral radiographs and an in-house panoramic machine, we are able to diagnose comprehensively at a much safer level of radiation. Did you know that digital radiography can reduce the amount of radiation exposure up to 80% in comparison with traditional film? This means we can diagnose more comprehensively with even less risk to you. Additionally, our panoramic radiography machine allows us to see much more than just the teeth. It is crucial to adhere to our standardized recommendations for radiography in order to ensure nothing goes unnoticed from decay, to congenitally missing teeth, developmental problems, oral lesions, pathology, and much more.

Soft tissue laser therapy allows us to treat smaller periodontal procedures, such as the gentle removal of excess gum tissue and to treat deep gingival (gum) pockets that harbor bacteria and cause gum disease. Even in tough situations where gum tissue is inflamed around a deep cavity, we can use laser treatment to effectively access the cavity in a cleaner, more comfortable way for our paitents.
