CBCT
Cone-beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scanning enhances treatment planning at our Wilmington, Delaware, dentist office by allowing us to capture a comprehensive 3D image of your smile and bite. CBCT enables our dental team to detect changes in dental fillings and dental crowns, and we can also modify those restorations or even create new ones. With CBCT, an x-ray will rotate around your head to capture the most complete scan, and then Dr. Goodling and the team will explain their findings to you; you can actually see what we see. The benefits of CBCT are numerous, and we are excited to show you this revolutionary technology.
Determining bite force and performing bite analysis is crucial when diagnosing and treating Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ/TMD). Cone-beam CT scans provide us with insight never before possible. CBCT allows us to examine bone and soft tissue challenges that may be affecting the way you function in day-to-day life. Painful TMJ symptoms affect a number of areas of the body, not just the jaw area, and CBCT is a cutting edge occlusal analysis system more accurate than ever imagined. A CBCT scan is painless and provides us with all the information we need to provide the pain relief from TMJ you’ve been looking for.
TENS
“TENS” stands for Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation and is used to treat TMJ disorder. Our TENS unit will deliver tiny electrical impulses to painful areas of your head, face, neck, and back. Your soft tissues will become more relaxed, less inflamed, and less painful with our TENS treatment.
TRIOS
TRIOS® scanners have revolutionized dental imaging in recent years. With TRIOS® intraoral scanners, we can take images of your teeth using a lightweight wand. The images appear in 3D on a computer, allowing us to determine the best course of action to provide the treatment you need. With improved accuracy for us and more comfort for our patients, these scanners have changed the way we see our patients’ mouths, teeth, and gums.
Carestream
Carestream Dental Imaging Software generates brilliantly clear images by scanning your smile and combining different technologies to create a functional model for Dr. Goodling and our team to work with during your smile transformation. Innovative dental technology such as this allows our family dentists to be 100% accurate and more efficient regarding life-changing cosmetic and restorative dental work.
T-Scan
T-Scan is a compact handheld device that measures your bite in real-time. It allows us to evaluate any neuromuscular dentistry problems you may have.
Electromyography
Electromyography (EMG) is a valuable tool in diagnosing and treating temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. By using sound waves to measure the electrical activity in your jaw muscles, EMG enables us to track even the smallest movements in your mouth and bite. This detailed information is crucial for determining how your jaw functions. Understanding abnormal muscle activity caused by TMJ can help us create a more targeted treatment plan to address your pain and discomfort. EMG can also be used to monitor your progress during treatment and ensure the effectiveness of the chosen approach.
