Advanced Dental Technology
We utilize the following technology at our dental office in Gurnee, IL:
Diode Lasers
We use diode lasers in soft tissue procedures such as gum contouring, crown lengthening, periodontal treatments, and cold sore therapy. Because it emits no heat or vibration, the diode laser provides maximum comfort for patients, eliminating sutures, reducing bleeding, and shortening recovery time.
3-D Cone Beam Imaging
At Delany Dental Care, we use 3-D cone beam imaging, which produces three-dimensional views of the teeth, tooth roots, jawbone tissue, and other structures. Cone beam technology is valuable in making more accurate diagnoses and planning effective orthodontic and dental implant treatment plans.
VELscope® Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer is a serious, common, and life-threatening disease. Studies show that the best way to avoid advanced oral cancer is to detect and treat the condition early. With VELscope® technology, we can perform a simple, quick scan of the soft tissues of the mouth to reveal potential abnormalities.
Intraoral Cameras and Photography
We use intraoral cameras so our dentists can show patients what we see during an exam. This technology educates patients about their oral health, helps them see areas in which plaque and tartar are more likely to accumulate, and improves their ability to make informed decisions about treatment.
iTero Scanner
Our dental office uses state-of-the-art iTero® scanner technology so patients no longer have to sit through uncomfortable impressions that make them gag.
