State-Of-The-Art Dental Technology
Dr. Chung uses the dental technology at Softouch Dental Care to make each patient’s experience comfortable, efficient, and effective. You may benefit from some of the following technology when you visit our Northern Virginia office.
- Myotronics K7 & TENS Unit for the diagnosis of malocclusion and treatment of TMJ. The K7 system helps Dr. Chung determine the most comfortable and functional position for your bite and the TENS unit delivers low-frequency impulses to the jaw muscles to help them relax into their natural position.
- NewTom 3D Cone Beam Imaging captures 360° views of the head and jaw area for use in TMJ treatment and implant planning.
- TRIOS 3D Scanner easily and comfortably takes digital impressions of your smile for use in treatment planning.
- E4D crown design and fabrication system for dental crowns in one visit.
- Platele-Rich Fibrin (PRF) for bone and soft tissue healing and regeneration during implant dentistry procedures.
- Needle-free anesthesia, approved by the FDA, this nasal spray eliminates the need for needles for some patients.
- Digital x-rays and hand-held digital x-rays provide more convenient and comfortable imaging solutions for our dental patients.
- Intra-oral cameras for better views inside the structure of your mouth in full color during treatment.
Laser Dentistry
A truly modern practice is not complete without dental lasers. Lasers significantly improve accuracy and efficiency, while minimizing bleeding, reducing pain, and speeding up recovery.
Dr. Chung uses four different soft-tissue and hard-tissue lasers for cosmetic procedures and for minimally invasive general dentistry. Some of the procedures he uses lasers for include:
- Gum tissue recontouring
- Crown lengthening
- Cavity repair
- Periodontal therapy
- Root canal therapy
- Cold sore treatment
- Teeth whitening
Lasers operate at precise wavelengths to produce specific desired results. This precision affords several advantages of using lasers over traditional methods:
- Reduced need for local anesthetic and more painless procedures
- Increased healthy tissue left in place during cavity treatments
- Cauterization during treatment kills micro-organisms to eliminate infection risks
- Less bleeding because the laser seals tissues as it works on them
- Reduced need for pain medication or downtime following laser procedures
- No annoying, whiny drill noise!
