Technology and dentistry: Advanced services in Mission Viejo

Life in the modern world evolves at a shockingly fast pace. There was a time, in the very recent past, when it took several days to send a letter, and weeks or months to order products from another country. The age of technology has become the age of instant, or near instant, results. Transportation has been streamlined, communication takes a fraction of a second, and news spreads at lightning-fast speed. Has this trend of newer, better, and faster bypassed dentistry? No!

If you think of dental care as painful, inconvenient, unpleasant, and time-consuming, then you haven’t visited a state of the art dental practice, such as that of Drs. Alex and Nina Basti in Mission Viejo, CA. They put technology to work for you, implementing the latest proven procedures, devices, and products to deliver ever-improving preventive, corrective, and cosmetic services.

• In-house milling – CEREC technology allows us to create restorations such as porcelain crowns and bridges right here in our office. The entire process is digitized, eliminating the need for messy impressions, and the lengthy wait times while a restoration is created and shipped. What used to take weeks can now be completed in minutes.
• Comfort technology – Dentistry is all about smiles; it should not be unpleasant or painful. Innovations such as the Wand for painless anesthetic injections, laser alternatives to drilling, and comfortable, and low-radiation digital x-rays are making this goal possible.
• Modern orthodontics – Today’s patients have options in dental braces. Invisalign aligners are comfortable, convenient, removable, and, perhaps best of all, invisible. Six Month Smiles is an expedited system for achieving cosmetic straightening in adults, and modern braces are lighter, stronger, and more comfortable than ever.
• Advanced materials – Porcelain is considered the ideal material for dental esthetics. It mimics tooth enamel in sheen and opalescence, and the color and translucency can be adjusted to achieve the desired look. Today’s porcelain materials are also very strong, making them durable enough for virtually any application.
