Dr. Arash Azarbal, our experienced dentist in Pasadena, offers the latest in dental technology to give you an accurate diagnosis, comfortable dental treatment, and a healthy, beautiful smile.
Digital X-rays
Digital x-rays quickly produce high-quality images of your teeth while reducing your exposure to radiation. The clear images help Dr. Azarbal quickly provide you with an accurate diagnosis and treatment options. Digital x-rays assist in preventive dentistry, including the early detection of gum disease and early detection of cavities, which might otherwise lead to a tooth infection and a root canal treatment.
Intraoral Camera
A handheld, intraoral camera glides over your teeth to produce three-dimensional images of them. These images are viewed on a monitor and assist in providing accurate diagnosis, treatment options, and customized restorations of your teeth that look completely natural. As you view the images, they will help you understand Dr. Azarbal’s explanation of your diagnosis and options for treatment.
DIAGNOdent™
We use a small, handheld laser to scan your teeth and detect even the smallest cavities in them. Many cavities develop inside the tooth and cause damage before they are visible at the surface of the tooth. DIAGNOdent™ reveals those problem areas and enables Dr. Azarbal to repair those areas of decay while they are small and inexpensive to fix. This also helps preserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible.
BIOLASE® Epic X™ Dental Diode Laser
The BIOLASE@ Epic X™ is a remarkably versatile laser that offers numerous benefits for patients. This laser can make the treatment process more comfortable and the recovery process quicker for many individuals. Some of the laser’s most common applications are for cosmetic gum recontouring and periodontal care procedures; however, the Epic X™ can also be used in teeth whitening treatments, bacterial reduction procedures, and for pain relief from conditions such as TMJ Disorder, cold sores and canker sores, and others.
Laser therapies have proven extraordinarily useful in treatments for conditions affecting the health and appearance of the gums and soft oral tissues, as well as the teeth. The BIOLASE® Epic X™ is a major technological advancement that allows our dental team to precisely address a variety of common concerns in a minimally invasive way while enhancing patient comfort and minimizing downtime.
CEREC®
CEREC® technology is a great advance that greatly increases patient convenience and comfort, besides producing high-tech restorations. This CAD/CAM technology (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) allows us to make a customized porcelain crown, inlay, or onlay, while you wait—in less than an hour. An advanced computer is used to take a digital impression (no impression material is necessary). When the design process is complete, the information is transmitted to a computerized milling unit in the adjacent room. A beautiful all-porcelain CEREC® crown is made and cemented—all in one appointment.
