Technology & Comforts
Superior Quality and Care in Etna
At Old School Dental, our mission is to combine friendly, personalized service with some of the latest dental technology available today. Using the tools outlined below, our team is able to find, diagnose, and treat a wide array of dental problems in less time while keeping our patients more comfortable. Our patients get to experience the best of what’s old and what’s new at every visit, delivering a one-of-a-kind dental experience that always puts a smile on their faces!
Intraoral Camera
Thanks to our intraoral camera, our patients are able to see their smile from Dr. Staten’s point of view. This small device fits easily in the mouth, and it can capture high-resolution images of the teeth and gums we can instantly display on a nearby 42” HD TV. This helps our team spot dental issues even sooner, plus you’ll literally gain a whole new perspective on your smile. Now, instead of just telling you why you need a specific treatment, we can show you!
Soft Tissue Laser
Our soft tissue laser enables Dr. Staten to perform even the most sensitive periodontal (gum) procedures with relative ease. This instrument generates an extremely concentrated beam of light, and with it, Dr. Staten can quickly eliminate harmful bacteria located beneath the gum line, painlessly remove infected tissue, and even provide a quick and easy gum lift. Whether used restoratively or cosmetically, the end result is a fast, easy, and comfortable experience.
Oral Conscious Sedation
If you experience mild to moderate dental phobia, then Dr. Staten may prescribe you a sedative pill to take about an hour before your next appointment. That way, by the time you reach our office, you’ll already be physically and mentally relaxed. Your appointment will seem to fly by, and you’ll likely have little to no memory of it afterwards. It’s the perfect solution to take the stress out of your dental care.
