At Lake Almanor Dental in Chester, CA, we’re committed to providing our patients with the highest quality dental care. That commitment extends to the advanced technology we use in our practice.

Technologies Ensuring Your Comfort and Convenience

We understand dental procedures can sometimes be intimidating, so we've invested in cutting-edge technology to ensure comfort, convenience, and the best possible outcomes. Five remarkable technologies that define our commitment to modern dentistry are CEREC®, CBCT, JVA, MLS® laser, Mphi D laser by ASAlaser Italy, and DEKAÒ SmartXide Ultraspeed2 CO₂ Laser.

CEREC®: Crowns in a Single Visit

CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics and is a game-changer in restorative dentistry. With CEREC®, you can say goodbye to the inconvenience of multiple dental appointments for crowns, veneers, or inlays.

Getting a traditional dental crown usually involves multiple visits, messy impressions, and temporary crowns while you wait for your permanent restoration to be created in a lab. CEREC® eliminates these inconveniences. Using state-of-the-art CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing) technology, we can design, create, and place your custom restoration right in our office during a single visit.

CBCT: Precision Imaging for Treatment Success

Unlike traditional 2D dental X-rays, cone beam computer tomography (CBCT) provides a 3D view of your oral structures, enabling us to make more accurate diagnoses and treatment plans. CBCT is particularly valuable for dental implants, root canal therapy, and orthodontic treatment.

CBCT allows us to visualize the entire oral and facial structure, including bone density and nerve pathways, with incredible detail. This means we can place implants with utmost precision, minimize the risk of complications, and optimize treatment outcomes. Additionally, CBCT exposes you to significantly less radiation than traditional medical CT scans, ensuring your safety during imaging.

JVA: Jaw Joint Assessment

Joint Vibration Analysis (JVA) is an advanced technology Lake Almanor Dental uses to analyze joint vibrations. It helps assess the condition of the jaw joint and diagnose potential issues related to jaw movement and discomfort.

Mphi D Laser: Advanced Dental Therapy

The latest Mphi D laser by ASAlaser Italy integrates cutting-edge MLS® technology, delivering superior therapeutic effects through an ergonomic handpiece with interchangeable lenses. This advanced unit offers both AC and battery power, with a portable design featuring a replaceable lithium battery and an ergonomic trolley for ease of use. With a peak power of 270 W, the Mphi D laser amplifies MLS® Therapy, providing faster, more efficient treatments.

The Mphi D laser ensures reduced treatment times, a more intense thermal effect, and immediate pain relief. Its patented MLS® pulse design is scientifically and clinically validated, offering precise and reliable therapy for various dental applications, including TMJ disorders, oral surgery, implants, and periodontics.

Our team uses the Mphi D laser to enhance patient comfort and achieve superior outcomes in restorative and therapeutic procedures, ensuring a safe and effective experience across diverse clinical environments.
