Our TechnologyDental Technology provided by Dr. Shiba in San Jose, CA at Nancy Shiba, DDS  Digital X-raysDigital x-rays are a primary tool for early identification of dental problems. Detecting issues with x-rays before they become problematic can save you money in the long run. Early detection can help prevent the need for more extensive, expensive procedures or surgeries. Intraoral CameraX-rays give us a clear view of what we can't see such as decay between the teeth. An intraoral camera gives the patient a view of what the dentist sees. CariVuThe CariVu allows our team to identify occlusal and interproximal decay, as well as cracks in the tooth, using safe near-infrared light with no ionizing radiation. This makes CariVu a particularly excellent option instead of traditional X-rays, especially for young pediatric patients, as it offers a safe and comfortable alternative for early detection. Ultrasonic ScalerWe use ultrasonic scalers for most adult dental cleanings. These devices use ultrasonic vibrations to help break down the plaque and calculus on the teeth that cause gingivitis and periodontal disease. Additional technology utilized at Nancy Shiba, DDS include: Dental Air AbrasionDental air abrasion is used to remove decay using a pressurized stream of powder; no anesthesia is needed! Cavity preparations are more conservative and cleaner for enhanced bond strengths to restorative materials. Optimal patient comfort! Electric HandpiecesElectric dental handpieces are quieter, use less vibration, have smoother, more precise power for making precise preparations. Patients with dental anxiety especially appreciate the quieter and smoother feeling during dental appointments. Air PolisherDental air polishers are especially useful in removing all biofilm from teeth prior to Bioclear restorative treatments. These air polishers may also be used to remove teeth stains and plaque in a gentle manner. Soft Tissue LaserThese lasers may be used for several reasons such as to aid in impressions, remove excessive tissue, shorten healing times, and others. |
