At Dr. Michael Hoang, DMD, we strive to provide the most outstanding care for the patients of Hawthorne and the surrounding communities. Part of that is incorporating the latest technology to improve our dentistry by making it more comfortable, efficient, and easier to coordinate.
Read on to learn more about some of the technology we provide as part of our dental care.
Digital X-Rays and Sensors
Digital dental x-rays provide nearly instant results while you are seated chairside in addition to being lower in radiation than typical film x-rays.
Dr. Mike can pull up your images for your checkup and exam while he evaluates your teeth, gums, jaw, and smile. He can discuss any of his findings that may require dental treatment and your options for keeping your mouth healthy.
Importantly, digital dental x-rays are also greener because they eliminate the harsh chemicals once required to develop film x-rays.
Digital Records
Digital records keep your information private and make it easier to track changes to your oral health. Dr. Mike can pull up previous x-rays and periodontal charting to monitor your health over time. All your information stays in our servers under encrypted lock and key for your privacy and to protect your details.
Digital records also make it easier to forward any necessary information to Dr. Mike's specialist colleagues or your insurance company to expedite claim processing.
Intraoral Camera
If you have ever looked inside your own mouth, you know you have a limited view. You can't see way back or behind teeth. The intraoral camera solves this problem! Dr. Mike can show you what he sees inside your mouth using a small digital camera designed just for dentistry. You will be able to see visual conditions such as cracked teeth, wear, plaque buildup, and stains.
This powerful camera helps educate you on your dental conditions so that when Dr. Mike presents your treatment options, you have the information you need to make an informed choice.
Laser Whitening
Enjoy your whitest smile at Dr. Michael Hoang, DMD! Dr. Mike has chosen a system incorporating powerful teeth whitening gel with laser activation to bleach away tooth stains quickly and effectively. Depending on their level of staining, many patients can enjoy up to six shades whiter teeth.
