At Queen City Family Dentistry in Amherst, NY, we prioritize providing patients with high-quality, comfortable, and efficient dental care. Modern technology helps us do that. From diagnosing problems early to providing precise treatments, the tools we use every day make a difference in how we care for your smile.
Digital X-rays and Imaging
We utilize digital X-rays and imaging to obtain clear images of your teeth and jaw, using less radiation than traditional X-rays. These images help us identify issues such as cavities, infections, and bone loss early. We also use small cameras to take detailed photos of your mouth, allowing us to show you exactly what we see and explain your treatment clearly.
Digital Scanning
Instead of using messy impression materials, we use digital scanners to create a 3D image of your teeth and gums. This process is quicker, more comfortable, and more accurate. We use these scans to plan treatments and create crowns, aligners, and other restorations that fit properly from the start.
Orthodontic Treatment Planning
For patients interested in clear aligners, we utilize digital treatment planning software that enables us to map out your tooth movements before the start of treatment. This allows us to show you a preview of how your teeth will shift over time, helping us create a plan that leads to a healthy, straight smile.
Laser Dentistry
When working on your gums or other soft tissues, we use laser technology to make treatment more comfortable. Laser procedures usually cause less bleeding, less discomfort, and faster healing compared to traditional tools.
Electric Handpieces and Precision Tools
We use electric handpieces, which are quieter and smoother than older air drills. These provide us with better control, resulting in more precise work and reduced vibration during treatment. We also use magnifying glasses and bright lights to help us see small details clearly, ensuring your dental work is as accurate as possible.
Advanced Root Canal Technology
When performing root canals, we utilize automated systems that enable us to clean and seal the inside of your tooth more accurately and efficiently. This helps shorten treatment time and improve long-term results.
Ultrasonic Cleanings and Preventive Care
For cleanings, we use ultrasonic scalers that use gentle vibrations to remove plaque and tartar. This method is faster and often more comfortable than traditional scraping. We also apply fluoride treatments to help protect your teeth from cavities.
Sterilization and Infection Control
We utilize modern sterilization methods to ensure that every tool is clean and safe. Our office employs specialized cleaning machines and cassette-based sterilization systems to meet stringent safety standards and protect your health.
3D Printing Through Our Dental Lab
While we do not 3D print in-house, we collaborate with trusted dental labs that utilize digital models derived from our scans to create items such as clear aligners, nightguards, dentures, and temporary crowns. This ensures everything we provide fits well and supports the results you need.
