The Latest Dental Technology

in New York City

We have always been the first to bring our patients the latest in dental technology. Our office has amassed a wealth of state-of-the-art dental products that allow us to offer our patients dental services that are faster, and less intrusive, with less pain. The services we offer include:



CEREC MachineOur office was the first in the U.S. to offer the CEREC 3D. This German-engineered system uses infrared photography and a computerized, robotic milling system to fabricate veneers, crowns and restorations. Its laser scanner outlines and preserves the genetic design of one of your teeth with pixel precision. CEREC 3D completes these restorations in one visit, versus the traditional 2-3 visits. Our doctors can do as many as 20 front tooth veneers on a patient in one day. Dr. Derry Rogers, the editor of Reality (the leading International Dental Esthetic Journal), upon examining completed cases in our office, pronounced CEREC veneers the most beautiful and natural dental restorations he had ever seen.

Digital MorphingWe will help you create your new smile using computer-aided digital morphing. After taking photographs of your smile, a treatment coordinator will load your pictures into the computer and sit down with you in order to help you design your new smile, tooth by tooth. The before and after photos will be given to you for your use.

 



Air Abrasion MachineUsing a high pressure spray of extremely fine aluminaoxide particles, decay is bombarded away while healthy tooth is preserved. No anesthesia is required because air abrasion virtually eliminates heat, vibration and noise - the three main causes of discomfort. This technology is better than laser.

Florida Probe MachineThis probe allows a standard measurement of periodontal pocket depth electronically and accurately. One of the most important patient motivators in the treatment of periodontal disease is measurement of progress. The Florida Probe is the leader in clinical periodontal diagnostic tools and provides for the most precise and in-depth measurement from examination to examination.

Dental Technology in New York City Digital Radiology
Reduces radiation exposure up to 90%. Instant images can each be used to examine teeth for virtually any problem or disorder. Programmed for magnification, colorization, and measurement to give you the highest level of accuracy. Images can be magnified 1800x. Jeffery Slovin, the president of Schick (one of our very happy CEREC patients) has selected the Iott group as a prime beta site for more advanced digitally radiographed techniques.

DiagnodentDiagnodent technology uses a simple laser diode to inspect your teeth, allowing us to detect more areas of decay sooner and with more precision. It requires no x-rays and it is totally painless. Cavities are laser read on a scale of 0-99 with a specific diagnosis for each score allowing us to differentiate between cavities needing fillings, sealants, or those bearing watching.

Diagnostic Imaging by Digital PanorexMedical conditions such as arterial plaques and cancers can be picked up using Digital Panorex. Digital full face imaging allows anatomically correct geometry, elimination of shadows and constant magnification. Used for a comprehensive diagnoses with less radiation for one photo of your whole lower face including TMJ joints. More About Diagnostic Imaging...

CO2 Surgical LasersThe CO2 laser has been used successfully for head and neck surgery for over 30 years. It uses infrared energy to remove tissue through vaporization, therefore there is minimal pain and no bleeding. Since it sterilizes as it cuts there is no need for antibiotics. Lasers drive peripheral nerves inward eliminating the need for pain killers. There is no swelling, no trauma, no scarring, no periodontal dressings and no sutures required.

Plasma Arc BleachingA range of technologies are available in the office, but in general the treatment consists of a gentle hydrogen-peroxide whitening gel activated by a special patented light operating in the gentle "blue spectrum". It is important to know that none of our methods are UV, heat, or laser activated.  The whitening technologies that we have available include BriteSmile, Luma Arch, Zoom, and Creative.








ViziLiteUsed in conjunction with a conventional visual oral mucosal examination, the ViziLite(TM) test improves identification, evaluation and monitoring of oral mucosal abnormalities in those patients who are at increased risk for cancer. The ViziLite Test Kit includes a handheld disposable chemi-luminescent light and a 1% acetic acid mouth rinse that work together to help dental professionals detect abnormalities in the oral cavity that might not be visible to the unaided eye.
