Laser Assisted Dentistry

Vestal Dental has invested in the SIROLaser®, a sophisticated soft tissue laser which allows our dentists to perform cosmetic, periodontic, and endodontic procedures with greater precision and less discomfort.    This system is ideal for those who suffer from dental anxiety by eliminating the need for scalpels, needles and drills.  This system also benefits our patients by allowing them to experience less scarring and less post-operative pain.


Orthophos SL3D X-ray Technology

The latest addition to our office utilizes cone beam CT scan technology.  The Sirona Orthophos SL 3D Imaging System delivers sharp three-dimensional detailed digital images of the jaw using much less radiation than conventional cone beams. A 3D image allows our dentists to see much more than what you see on a traditional x-ray, allowing for a more accurate diagnosis.


Digital Dental Implant Treatment Planning

With computer guided implant surgery, our dentists can conduct a virtual surgery before ever touching your mouth.  The information our system gathers is extremely accurate which allows us to precisely place simulated dental implants and allows us to view the implant in all three dimensions.  Along with precise placement, this remarkable tool allows us to locate important internal structures along with bone quality measurements.


Custom Dental Implant Restorations

Dental implants are often the best solution for replacing missing teeth. Once the dental implant is healed and integrated into the jaw, a crown is then attached for function and esthetics. These dental implant restorations are often supported by generic or stock attachments, which can compromise the long-term success or appearance. Our practice utilizes digital technology to create customized restorations which are specific to each individual implant site and circumstance. These custom dental implant restorations allow us to ensure that our patients are receiving the absolute best treatment outcome possible.

Platelet-Rich Plasma Centrifuge

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a new approach to tissue regeneration and it is becoming a valuable adjunct to promote healing in many procedures in dental and oral surgery, especially in aging patients. PRP derives from the centrifugation of the patient's own blood and it contains growth factors that influence wound healing, thereby playing an important role in tissue repairing mechanisms.


Diagnodent Cavity Detection

The DIAGNOdent laser is a high tech tool that has made a significant breakthrough in diagnosing tooth decay.  As a Class 1 laser, the DIAGNOdent emits a safe, painless pulse of light through the tooth structure and uncovers hidden decay by comparing the reflected florescence of the tooth structure against the established baseline reading.  This allows us to identity tooth decay early-on and treat your tooth before it becomes more of a problem.


Digital Intraoral Camera

Intraoral cameras are the fastest and most effective way for our doctors to show patients what is happening in their mouths and help you understand our recommended treatments.  By seeing what our dentists see, our intraoral cameras are a great addition to dental x-rays and easier for our patients to relate to.


Digital Radiology

Digital dental x-rays are an extremely safe and effective tool for getting a full view of your dental health.  By viewing the inside of your teeth and connected oral structure, our dentists can more effectively care for your smile.  Our DEXIS Titanium Sensors increases confidence in diagnosis with CleanCapture technology, improved signal performance and expanded dynamic range while helping deliver a positive patient experience with the DEXIS Titanium PerfectSize sensor and its award-winning TrueComfort™ design.
