Midlothian, VA Dentist Offers New Technology for Increased Dental Implant Accuracy

    MIDLOTHIAN, VA, October 20, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dr. Robert Penterson, Midlothian, VA dentist, of Penterson and Booth Family and Cosmetic Dentistry is pleased to announce the recent addition of 3-D radiography for dental implant accuracy and LOGICON for digital cavity detection.

Three-dimensional radiography shows the mouth's interior structures and is used to identify facial bone problems, such as tumors or fractures. It is also used to evaluate bone for Midlothian dental implant placement and difficult tooth extractions to avoid possible complications during and after surgical procedures.

"It is important that we remain on the cutting edge of technological advancements in dentistry as it helps us to providing the best quality care available. With the introduction of 3-D radiography and digital cavity detection, our patients can rest easy knowing they are receiving the best, most precise care possible," said Dr. Robert Penterson, Midlothian family dentist.

Additionally, LOGICON Caries Detector Software is clinically proven to help dentists find 20% more cavities extending into the dentin than possible with traditional methods. It aides in detecting and locating proximal caries while presenting more accurate information by indicating penetration depth of caries. LOGICON helps to find dentin lesions that are commonly unseen by the human eye. As an electronic second opinion, the information provided allows this dentist in Midlothian, VA to easily identify caries and help prevent misdiagnosis of healthy teeth.

Early, and proper diagnosis of dental problems can save time, money and discomfort. Drs. Robert Penterson, Steve Booth and Lynn Penterson Booth, Midlothian cosmetic dentists, further provide their continual commitment to providing patients with the best care available through the introduction of 3-D radiography for dental implant accuracy and LOGICON for digital cavity detection.
