At Lawson Family Dentistry, our dedication to our patients has led us to pursue the most advanced, state-of-the-art dental technology available in every field of dentistry. We are devoted to keeping on top of the latest scientific breakthroughs, allowing us to provide the most thorough diagnostics, and quick, successful, pain free procedures available today. We use technology to assist us in a variety of general and cosmetic dental procedures and dental diagnostics. Some of the technologies we offer include:
Creates a 3D image of your jaw bone for diagnostics of bone quality and density. These scanners allow excellent visualization of facial skeletal anatomy, but at significantly lower radiation dosages than that of medical-grade CT scanners. We are one of only a handful of dentists in our area that have this technology in our office for dental implant procedures.
A dental restoration procedure that allows our Grand Strand cosmetic dentists to examine, diagnose, and create ceramic inlays, ceramic onlays, porcelain veneers and dental crowns in a single office visit. We were one of the first CEREC practices in South Carolina, and have been offering our patients this exciting single-visit solution for over ten years. This is a real service to patients with busy schedules!
This is a filmless x-ray image that allows our dentists the full benefits of x-ray technology without the additional time and associated radiation to our patients. Additionally, there is no requirement for chemical processing of the x-ray film, providing a safer environment for both our patients and our staff. Many patients have shown concern for the effects of radiation on their bodies. Digital radiography is the most advanced technology available for allowing dentists to take x-rays with a minimum of radiation exposure to their patients.
Lasers are used in many areas of our practice. We use a diode laser to contour soft tissue, treat infection and for procedures to correct gummy smiles.
With the use of 3D technology and printing, we’re able to create personalized results that suit both form and function.
No more messy or goofy impressions! See why 3D impression scanners are the best choice for dental impressions.
CBCT scanning is an imaging technology that allows our dentists to evaluate the underlying bone structure, as well as the nerve pathways and surrounding soft tissues of our patients. Scans are sent to our partner, DentalRay, to have a radiologist read the CBCTs resulting in increased transparency and additional insights that come from the radiology reports.
The most advanced oral cancer screening technology available on the market, and is able to identify biochemical and morphological changes in cells in the mouth, on the tongue and tonsils, and in the throat. This technology allows our oral cancer dentists to properly detect oral cancer before it becomes too serious to treat. Oral cancer kills more people nationwide than either cervical or skin cancer. It is essential that it be diagnosed as early as possible, and Trimira aids in this early detection.
Allows our dentists to detect caries, or cavities. Even the smallest lesions affecting tooth substance can be detected at their earliest stages, allowing our dentists to protect and preserve the delicate substance of your teeth.
