Do you feel that touch of panic in your stomach when it's time to visit the dentist? You're not alone! At Bagley Family Dental, we understand that anxiety often accompanies dental visits for some patients.
Did you know that modern dentistry uses advanced technology to help streamline procedures and make them more comfortable for patients? Investing in the latest technology, which we know will enhance your experience, is one way we help minimize anxiety and fear associated with dental visits for our patients.
At Bagley Family Dental, we do everything with you, our patient, in mind! Today, we'll share some information about the technology we use and how it benefits you. Here's what you should know.
Modern Technology = Comfortable and Efficient Dentistry
Here's some of the leading-edge technology and equipment you can expect to find at our Greeley dental office.
The Intraoral Camera
Imagine being able to see inside your mouth the way Dr. Bagley does. It would be much easier to understand why you need a dental filling or crown when you can see the damage that decay has caused to your tooth.
Well, that's precisely what the intraoral camera does. This pen-sized device fits comfortably inside your mouth and captures full-color pictures of your teeth and soft tissues, allowing you to better understand your treatment needs. This empowers you to make educated decisions about the treatment that's best for your smile.
Nitrous Oxide
If you've ever felt anxious about sitting in the dental chair, nitrous oxide (laughing gas) may be the solution you're looking for. Nitrous oxide combined with oxygen is delivered through a mask worn during your procedure. It enters your system quickly and helps you feel relaxed and at ease. Then it leaves your system quickly at the end of the procedure, so you have no lingering side effects and can safely drive yourself home.
These are just two examples of our leading-edge technology. Contact your dentist in Greeley at (970) 353-5664 for more information or to schedule an appointment.
